About Fr. Mike Chime & CatholicMarriageLife.com

Welcome to CatholicMarriageLife.com, a dedicated space for couples seeking to understand, enrich, and live out the beauty of Catholic marriage.

My name is Fr. Mike Chime, and I have served as a canon lawyer and Marriage Tribunal Judge since 2006.

Throughout my years of ministry, I have witnessed firsthand the joys, challenges, and profound graces inherent in the sacrament of Matrimony.

This experience has fueled my passion for supporting couples on their journey and has been the inspiration behind CatholicMarriageLife.com.
