Chancellery

Archbishop’s House, Drumcondra Road Lower, Dublin 9, D09 H4C2

The Chancellery is the office that deals mainly, though not exclusively, with canon law matters. It serves as a resource to give advice on canonical issues to the Archbishop and his staff as well as priests, diocesan agencies and parishes.

The Chancellery provides the following services in the Archdiocese and to parishes:

Matters which relate to the sacraments – particularly marriage. This involves the processing of documentation for marriages abroad; applications for dispensations and permissions such as mixed marriage; people wishing to marry who have had an annulment; and those who have been previously married in a civil ceremony.
Advice on changing parish registers; adoption queries; processing the granting of faculties for priests; registration of solemnisers for marriage; laicisations of clergy; and matters relating to the Archdiocese and parishes as juridical persons.
