Description:
As an ordained Roman Catholic priest, I was privileged to served the Church in several parishes in Central New York for over 35 years. Then, in 2004, Linda and I were married! During the next two years, I received a number of requests to officiate at weddings. Because I can no longer represent the Church in any official capacity, I joined an organization of married priests called CITI Ministries, and also the International Council of Community Churches, which provides me with the license to perform weddings in the USA. Our CITI website (www.rentapriest.com) offers a summary of our origins, our history, and our goals, as well as Directory of all our members. Linda and I have been privileged to participate in many weddings at many different venues, indoors and outdoors, throughout NY State. We have helped not only Catholics, but also couples with various religious backgrounds or with no religious background, to have a wedding ceremony that uniquely expresses their commom beliefs and ideals regarding marriage, in the venue of their choice. When possible, we meet with prospective couples so that we can get to know each other and to better serve them. We are happy to say that most of our couples have been deeply pleased with our services. I will be very happy to speak with you more about what services I am willing to provide as well as my availabillity for your wedding date.
