Question:
Is there a way to find out if a religious order is officially sanctioned by the Catholic Church?
Answer:
The simplest way would be to contact the diocese in which they are present. If they are in communion with the Catholic Church they would need to the permission of the local diocesan Bishop to operate in that diocese.
