Annulment 

For those seeking a declaration of invalidity or dissolution of a marriage, the first step is to meet with a case counselor. The divorce must be final to begin this process.
Case counselors will conduct an interview and collect required documents from the individual seeking a declaration. They help explain the process and help identify what will be needed in the case.  Once the interview is completed, the case counselor will meet with you and the regional annulment advocate  to determine potential grounds for nullity and complete documentation needed to submit the case to the Diocese of Austin Tribunal.  The Diocese of Austin Tribunal has trained the clergy and laity who serve as advocates and case counselors. The laypersons  are approved by the judicial vicar and have a mandate from their pastor to serve as a case counselor in their parish.

At St. Thomas Aquinas parish, in addition to Deacon Dave Mayes, we have Diocesan-trained lay case counselors: Gina Cook, Tina Noa, Tina Labossiere, and Diana Jetter.
