The Catholic Church and Annulments

This is a discussion we encourage you to have with a priest of your choosing.

In the mean time, the following is a link to the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut.  This link will provide you with some initial understanding of terms, the process, the paperwork involved and contact information.

We also recommend reading The Annulment: One Catholic's journey of reconciliation by Joseph A. Califano Jr. The article was published in the November 15, 2004 edition of America: The National Catholic Weekly.  The article can be found on-line by clicking here, but to see the full text, you must subscribe to America in the print or Web-only version.  Perhaps the library or some other local source may have a copy you could read.
