Please note some recent and important changes to the annulment process here in the Archdiocese of Portland: in response to Pope Francis' wish that the annulment process remain free of charge, Archbishop Sample has decided that tribunal fees will be eliminated.
When the process is finished, the Tribunal will suggest a donation, which will go towards enabling the Office to continue to make its services available to all who need them. It is the hope of Pope Francis, Archbishop Sample and the Tribunal that this will continue to open doors to those who wish to move forward with these important procedures, which are "intimately tied to the salvation of souls." (Pope Francis)
