Annulment Information Nights

Are you or someone you know 

• A divorced Catholic who has fallen in love and wants to remarry in the Church;
• A divorced non-Catholic who has fallen in love, and your Catholic fiancé wants to marry in the Catholic Church;
• Divorced and already remarried [Catholic or non-Catholic], and you want to regularize your civil marriage in the Church;
• A divorced non-Catholic who wants to become Catholic and also remarry;
• A divorced Catholic who wants the option to remarry in the Church in the future;
• A divorced Catholic who is looking into getting an annulment for “peace of mind”?

At the invitation of parishes and other Catholic groups, the Tribunal staff is happy to make a presentation to demystify the process for declaring a marriage invalid for those who find themselves in any of the aforementioned situations. The ninety-minute presentation includes the Church's understanding of marriage, those who take part in the process, and an overview of the judicial process itself.
