Single Parents
Spouses who are separated: the road to healing,
reconciliation, and rebuilding of your relationship can be a slow, painful one.
If you are willing to begin that journey, the Church has many resources like
pastoral counseling, Retrouvaille, and the Third Option program which can assist
you.
Divorced Persons: Relationships and circumstances
within your family may have changed, but God’s love for you is ever present and
does not come to an end. Grasp the hands of those who reach out to you in loving
concern. Extend your own hand to others whom you meet on the road to healing and
reconciliation. There is a home for you within our parishes and communities of
faith.
Need help with an annulment? Attend Quick Start
The
Tribunal of the Diocese of Cleveland will be presenting a new program for
beginning the annulment process. The Quick Start Program is meant to provide
individuals with a simplified method for the initial presentation of a case to
the Tribunal. The program will consist 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 begin the Quick
Start Program will be given the appropriate materials at the conclusion of the
meeting. The second meeting will be an individual meeting, by appointment only,
for the purpose of presenting the completed materials.
Pre-registration for the first meeting is not necessary.
Places and Dates for Quick
Start Events are listed on the Tribunal Website>
If you have questions, please call Lynette Tait at the Tribunal, 216-696-6525 or
800-869-6525, ext. 4000.
