The Office of Canonical Services assists the bishop and his ministry in a variety of ways. It houses the bishop's church court (tribunal), which handles cases in the bishop's name, most of which deal with declarations of nullity of marriage (commonly known as annulments).
Canonical Services provides consultation services to anyone with questions on Church law.
By providing a voice for the universal law of the Church within the Bismarck Diocese, Canonical Services hopes to contribute to harmony and good order in the life of the Church.
