The Tribunal
The Seattle Metropolitan Tribunal cooperates with pastors and other offices in fostering pastoral care to those who wish to enter a new marriage in the Catholic Church. The Tribunal examines prior marriages in order to determine the validity of the bond of marriage and to clarify for the parties their freedom to marry in the Catholic Church.
