The Tribunal

The Tribunal is an office in the diocesan curia established by universal law to adjudicate cases involving the status of persons, the violation of rights, and penal matters.  The bulk of the Tribunal’s caseload comes from petitions for the declaration of the invalidity of marriage, though cases involving the imposition of a canonical penalty are also judged.

With training in the canon law of the Catholic Church, the officers of the Tribunal also provide canonical advise to the Bishop, members of the diocesan curia, priests, and the Christian faithful.
