Marriage

The Sacrament of Matrimony

"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Mark 10:6-9 6

Annulments

Individuals seeking an annulment from a broken marriage are encouraged to call the church office to set up an appointment to review the Archdiocesan guidelines for submittal of a case to the Tribunal.  The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is, by God’s plan, an enduring and exclusive partnership between a man and a woman for giving and receiving of love and for the procreation and education of children.  An annulment does not deny that a real relationship existed, nor does it imply that the relationship was entered into with ill will or moral fault.  In addition, the children of a marriage which has been annulled, do not become illegitimate.  Rather, a declaration of nullity by a Church court is a statement that the relationship fell short of at least one of the elements considered essential for a binding, lifelong union.
