As is evident in the above "Vita",
a good portion of my personal and professional life has been associated
with the Catholic Church. However, the wedding ceremonies at which
it is my privilege to officiate, are
"civil" ceremonies, no "sacramental".
The Bride and Groom are not married "in the Church".
The ceremonies
represent the choices, desires and approval of the Bride and Groom.
I am Catholic by ordination, Universal by orientation. I am
dedicated to serving everyone: All Christians, Buddhists, Catholics,
Hindu, Jew, Non-Denominational, Atheist and Agnostic. |
