The Metropolitan Tribunal is pleased to announce its next formational training program of 36 hours for Nullity Case Sponsors.
We encourage every parish to have trained Nullity Case Sponsors. As always, any priest is welcome to attend any or all of these sessions, but registration is required due to limited space.
For deacons, this training can be applied toward continuing education hours that are required by the Office of the Diaconate.

The layperson is to understand and adhere to the teachings of the Church in general but specifically to the Catholic theology of marriage; be in good standing with the Church; be discrete and non-judgmental; have common sense and critical thinking skills; be patient and have good communication skills; and have ample time to serve in this capacity.
