It is the hope of those working in Marriage Tribunal ministry that this process is an extension of the healing and reconciling mission of Jesus Christ, as well as an opportunity for both parties to a former marriage to look at themselves, their marriage and their future, and evaluate these realities in light of the Gospel. Toward that end, the Marriage Tribunal of the Diocese of Sioux City stands ready to assist and support those who seek to take advantage of this judicial and pastoral process.  

Please send all prenuptial files and nullity case needs to our Tribunal office
P.O. Box 3379
Sioux City, IA 51102-3379

Anyone who would like to learn more about the marriage nullity process in the Catholic Church is invited to attend any of the following workshops.  Father Michael Erpelding of the Tribunal of the Diocese of Sioux City will lead these sessions.
