Annulment Ministry
Who We Are & What We Do
An Annulment is a declaration by the Church that a marriage was never valid according to Church law. Unlike a divorce, which ends a valid marriage, an annulment affirms that something essential was missing from the beginning, rendering the marriage spiritually invalid. Our ministry provides guidance and support for St. Ann parishioners seeking an annulment, assisting them in navigating the process
Why We Exist
This ministry exists to help parishioners understand the annulment process and provide the support needed to begin the process if they wish to seek an annulment. There is no fee for anyone requesting an annulment, as our focus is on the spiritual well-being of those seeking healing.
Who We Serve
We serve St. Ann parishioners who wish to seek an annulment or dissolution of a marriage. Our trained tribunal advocates work directly with individuals, guiding them through the process and providing support as they present their cases to the Metropolitan Tribunal of Atlanta.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers in this ministry work in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Atlanta, supporting parishioners as they navigate the annulment process. Volunteers help by providing direct support to individuals seeking annulments, assisting with documentation, and offering guidance through the tribunal process.
Special Requirements
Because we work with vulnerable individuals, all volunteers must complete a safe environment VIRTUS training and background check to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing
