Annulment & Divorce Support
Old St. Patrick's offers support and companionship for those who are seeking an annulment or seeking to heal during and after one of life’s most difficult transitions
Annulment Support
The annulment process is frequently misunderstood, and we at Old St. Pat’s would like to help bring some clarity and even accompany you, if you are interested in seeking an annulment. An Annulment is only required only if the applicant wishes to remarry in the Church. The sole purpose of the process is to determine whether or not an essential Sacramental element was missing from the marriage. If you choose to pursue an Annulment, our Support Minister will support you and guide you through the process.
In the meantime, Old St. Pat’s strongly welcomes and encourages you fully participate in the Liturgies and the Sacraments. For more information, please contact our Annulment Support Ministry at [email protected]. |
