Christ the King in Springfield offers workshop on marriage after divorce

Written by Staff Writer

A workshop on new marriage in the Catholic Church after divorce will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, June 22 at Christ the King Parish Center, 1930 Barberry Drive in Springfield. The evening is free and open to the public.

Father Kevin Laughery, judicial vicar of the Office for Tribunal Services for the Springfield diocese, will present the church’s teaching on marriage, how to petition for a declaration of nullity of marriage and how the diocesan Tribunal seeks to serve petitioners. A question-and-answer session will follow.

The workshop is intended for spouses, parents or family members who have been touched by divorce and have questions about the church’s ministry to divorced persons.

The workshop is presented by the Adult Faith Formation Committee of Christ the King Parish. For more information, call Nora Puglia, (217) 787-8419.
