As part of both the Marriage Preparation Ministry and the Healing Ministry of the parish, our church offers formal assistance, through advocates, for those who have suffered through the difficulties of a broken marriage and are eager to receive an ecclesiastical declaration of nullity.

Depending upon the time it takes to gather documents and compete depositions, the annulment process can last anywhere from 6 months to a year.

Apostolado Matrimonios y Familias

Ministry Leader

Sergio y Sandra Gonzalez
(954) 300-3256

Somos un Apostolado Católico que con la guía del Espíritu Santo, tiene como misión principal enseñar que la santificación del matrimonio es actual y posible. Buscamos que cada matrimonio llegue a la perfección a la que ha sido destinado “desde toda la eternidad”, en la medida en que los cónyuges se conozcan, se acepten y se amen.

Para lograr esta misión nos apoyamos en una pastoral basada en las enseñanzas del Magisterio de la Santa Madre Iglesia, a través de actividades de formación, vivencia espiritual, vivencia sacramental y vivencia comunitaria que dan a los esposos herramientas a nivel práctico y espiritual, fortaleciendo así el vínculo entre ellos necesario para comunicar el amor y la misericordia de Dios a toda la familia.

Saint Gregory Catholic Church is happy to offer adults the opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about the Catholic faith through the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. The RCIA is way that early Christians joined the Church through its Sacraments. The program serves:

  • Unbaptized adults and young persons who have reached the age of reason and wish to become Catholic;
  • Those baptized in another Christian Church who are seeking full communion with the Roman Catholic Church and seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation;
  • Baptized Catholic adults who were baptized as infants in the Catholic Church and now seek the Sacraments of Eucharist and/or Confirmation.

RCIA page

El Rito de Iniciación Católica para Adultos (RICA), es un itinerario de 7 a 8 meses para adultos que no han recibido los Sacramentos de Iniciación Católica, (Bautizo, Comunión y Confirmación). La RICA se basa en cuatro puntos claves enrizados en la oración, evangelización, catequesis y formación fundamentada en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, las Sagradas Escrituras y las Enseñanzas de la Iglesia Católica:

  • Invitar a adultos no bautizados a convertirse en miembros de la iglesia católica.
  • Re-integrar a adultos bautizados en la fe católica que no han sido catequizados o se han alejado de la fe.
  • Integrar a la iglesia a católica a personas bautizadas en otras comunidades cristianas.
  • Invitar a esos tres grupos de personas a vivir un itinerario espiritual que les ayude a madurar en su fe y a integrarse y enriquecer a su comunidad católica.
