2009-2010 Schedule

Workshop:  "Quick-Start" Program - The Annulment Process

Facilitated by members of the Tribunal Office of the Diocese of Cleveland, this user friendly program has successfully provided individuals with a simplified method for the initial presentation of a case to the Tribunal. The program consists of two sessions. The first meeting will be a general overview of marriage as understood by the Catholic Church and an explanation of the Tribunal process. This meeting is also open to anyone who would be interested in deepening his/her knowledge of marriage in the Catholic Church and the annulment process. Individuals who would like to submit a case to the Tribunal using the Quick Start Program will be given the appropriate materials at the conclusion of the first meeting. Pre-registration for the first meeting is not necessary. Those wishing to present their case to the Tribunal complete the necessary materials and return to a second meeting to present their case. The second meeting is an individual meeting by appointment only.

This program will be repeated on April 13, 2010 at the Notre Dame Educational Center in Chardon. 

Feedback from those who have attended the Quick-Start program at their parish:

- "I came into this meeting not knowing what to expect. I left with a feeling of calmness & peace."

- "Very thorough and efficient--kind and caring persons helping with the process."
