Tribunal

The Metropolitan Tribunal serves as a resource to 
the Archbishop of San Francisco and the Catholic community as they strive to maintain and uphold the universal and particular law of the Church.

The Tribunal also assists individuals seeking to reconcile with the Church by evaluating the status of individual marriages, as the Church understands that bond. It seeks to protect the rights of the faithful, including the right to a good reputation, while mindful of the obligations inherent with being a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
