Father Mark Gantley, the judicial vicar of the Diocese of Honolulu, will give workshops on three islands early next year on how to ask for a marriage annulment, more formally called a “declaration of marital nullity.” The talks are for lay people. Anyone may attend and questions are welcome.
Here is the schedule:
- Maui: Thursday, Jan. 10, 7 p.m., St. Theresa Church, Kihei
- Big Island: Tuesday, Jan. 29, 7 p.m., St. Joseph Church, Hilo
- Big Island: Thursday, Jan. 31, 7 p.m., St. Michael Church, Kailua-Kona
- Oahu: Tuesday, Feb. 19, 7 p.m., St. Stephen Diocesan Center
Any Oahu pastor who would like a workshop in his parish may e-mail Father Gantley at mgantley@rcchawaii.org.
Father Gantley is also offering for priests and deacons on Maui an advocate training session covering the steps on how to help people petition for an annulment, 9 a.m.-noon, Jan. 10, in St. Theresa parish hall, Kihei.
