How May I Serve You?
The Most Reverend David Leon Cooper, OMM, MS
Bishop of the Orthodox Order of the Missionaries of Mercy
In Papal utterances regarding the Orthodox, we are called ". . . Orthodox brothers of the Catholic faith which by God's grace we share."
Pope John Paul refers to the Orthodox churches as ". . . sister Catholic churches . . ."
The purpose of this website is to assist me in providing service to the many, many people who seek answers and solutions to questions and problems. During the past few months the sheer number of people with questions and/or situations that require my attention have been overwhelming; therefore, I have written a book and put together this website which will allow me to interact with and serve the needs of considerably more people.
Following are some of the tools with which I can serve you and address your personal and/or family needs:
- I have written a book entitled "Catholic Weddings and Annulments: Freedom Without the Hassle" which addresses many of the questions and situations that most couples and/or their families wish solutions or answers for. This book will educate many people and, from my experience, enlighten many more as to the options that are available to them of which they were not aware.
- Inclusion: This process is inclusive of verification of credentials. A Request to Local Priest and Verification of Credentials form is included in the book; or, you may have access to the form by following this link.
- A widely sought after service that I provide is a Consultation and Evaluation of Case Merit. This service has been instrumental in assisting many couples in making important decisions of great import regarding their wedding. Please contact our office for more information regarding this service.
- Another valuable service that I provide is granting annulments. A bishop can grant dispensations. That is, remove the impediments to administration of the sacraments. As a bishop, I grant dispensations for all of the dispensable impediments, including a prior marriage. I am dedicated to providing solutions to those who need them - marriage is a very beautiful and serious institution. You and your loved one are entitled to the blessings and acceptance of the Church, your families and all your friends. My book includes the Ecclesiastical Petition for Dispensation and Decree of Nullity form, or you may have access to the form by following this link.
Please do not hesitate to contact our offices at 818-390-1452. We look forward to helping you receive the benefits you so rightfully deserve.
"Serious couples will call by telephone and speak with the Bishop directly. No text messages, please."
