What the Catholic Church actually teaches about
Divorce | Separation | Annulment
By Fr Terence Pereira
Part 1: Monday, 7 October 2024
Part 2: Monday, 21 October 2024
Time: 8pm to 10pm

Couples enter into marriage with faith and hope that it will be a happy union that lasts. However, there are occasions when a couple faces an unhappy end to their married life together.

How can Catholics in such a situation continue their life journey in a way that keeps them in full communion with the Church?

This Symposium will help participants gain an insight into the complexity of the issues related to divorce, separation, and annulment.
