“I provide compassionate, knowledgeable assistance to individuals in the Diocese of Madison. I have found that following a divorce, people are hurting, families are hurting, and they have questions regarding how they can be fully reconciled with the Catholic Church. It is my desire to provide information and support to those facing these challenging circumstances. My services are always gratuitous, and I am passionate about helping people, showing forth the Lord’s mercy, and accompanying individuals on their path of reconciliation to the Lord and His Church.
Having been away from the Church for many years myself, I know how daunting the path back can seem. I earnestly desire to share with you some steps you can take today to come closer to God. I am also excited to share the message that God has a plan for your happiness and He wants you to know the joy of a life lived in communion with Him.”
I provide compassionate assistance to individuals who are divorced, divorced and remarried, in irregular marriages, or unsure of their marital status within the Catholic Church.
I will provide an explanation of the Church’s teaching on marriage, conduct a personal assessment of any moral and canonical remedies available for your particular situation, and provide assistance in petitioning for a declaration of nullity (commonly referred to as an annulment). The information you provide to me will be kept confidential.
The initial meeting with me lasts 1-2 hours and can be done via Zoom videoconference, in-person at your parish, or in-person at my office. I am available during regular business hours 8:00 am - 4:30 pm, most evenings, and some Saturdays. There is no cost for my assistance.
You do not need to bring anything to the meeting, but if you have the marriage license and divorce decree from your previous marriage, it can be helpful to establish the timeline of the relationship.
