Nullity Ministers are a vital part of the life of the parishes of the Diocese of Phoenix. These ministers are trained by the Tribunal to be present to those desiring to petition for an annulment. Through a four day class, Nullity Ministers gain important information in order to serve those who have obtained a civil divorce and are interested in petitioning for an annulment.

Training for New Nullity Ministers

Our next in-person Nullity Minister Training will be May 2nd, 9th, 16th and 30th, 2025 at the Diocesan Pastoral Center from 9am-4pm. It will also be available online live or recorded for those not able to attend on those dates. New Nullity Ministers must complete all four sessions in order to be certified as an active Nullity Minister. Registration forms are due April 11, 2025.

The registration form for the training is found here.

Online Training

If a parish is in need of a certified Nullity Minister before May, there is the option of listening to a previously recorded training.  The registration form for the online training is found here.

PLEASE NOTE: New Nullity Minister Trainees must be approved by their Pastor.
