The Church extends a healing and reconciling ministry to those who have been divorced and remarried, that may include an annulment process to allow for sacramental remarriage in the Church. Significant changes in Canon Law in the past ten years have made annulments possible for a greater variety of reasons. Contact one of our parish priests at (630) 232-0124.
