This feature provides a Catholic Priest to answer any questions
you might have concerning issues of Faith (what Catholics are
to believe) and Morals (how Catholics are to live what the Church
teaches). Ave Maria Singles recognizes that our visitors
and members may have questions, concerns, problems, dilemmas,
etc. that they are trying to work out or come to terms with.
Therefore, we have provided a spiritual board of directors made
up of Catholic priests who are loyal to the Holy Father, understanding,
knowledgeable, compassionate, and direct. They are completely
qualified to tend to your every need.
If you have a question about marriage, preparation for marriage,
annulment, divorce or your particular situation with respect
to a future marriage, post your question below. It will be
sent by private email to one of our priests, who will respond
privately to your email address. Ave Maria Singles recommends
this for anyone in need of advice or help with the annulment
process.
Our priests are not employees but volunteers who are helping
on their own time. This means they will not be familiar with
the specific policies or inner workings of our service. These
kinds of questions might be better answered by Customer
Service or Tech Support. We also offer an Ask
A Counselor service, for questions that you would like
to direct to a Catholic counselor.
Commonly Asked Questions
I was divorced and have applied for an annulment. Is it
okay for me to sign up for Ave Maria Singles now?
No, it would not be appropriate to sign up for this
service until you have an annulment in hand. To do so would
be a trivialization of marriage. Until you have an annulment
in hand you should presume that you are still married in the
eyes of God. Its true that most, as many as 90% of annulment
applications are granted, but sometimes they are not. What
happens to a couple who have proceeded to enter a courtship
and then found that one or the other could not get an annulment?
I urge you not to date until you actually have an annulment,
and not to date anyone else who is divorced and does not have
one. In fact, sometimes people refrain from getting an annulment
so that they can have an excuse not to marry.
