Wondering if there’s a particular saint for those who’s marriage has been annulled .
Also have any Saints of recent times been through the annulment process and married again with the churches blessings ? Hope I’ve worded this right 🙂
 
Maybe try St. Elizabeth of Portugal, also known as Elizabeth of Aragon, a 13th century queen known as a patron saint of troubled marriages. Perhaps someone else knows of another saint, but I doubt you will find a saint specifically connected with annulments, since this is a reality the Church doesn’t really celebrate or hold up as something to aspire to. Maybe in the future there will be a saint who has had a marriage annulled, but I can’t think of one offhand.

One aspect of St. Elizabeth’s life that stands out to me is that she was a peacemaker, always seeking to reconcile her unfaithful husband to the right practice of the faith, and to resolve the conflict he had with their son. Those of us who have been in troubled marriages know how valuable a peacemaker can be, whether or not we have been through the annulment process!
