I am a retired, married Roman Catholic priest. I served in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for 28 years. In 1993, I married Patty and in 1994, I became relicensed in the states of Ohio and Kentucky.

I serve the Greater Cincinnati area. My goal is to use my many years of experience to help couples cerebrate their wedding with a ceremony that reflects their values, personal spirituality, and beliefs. I meet with my couples two times before the ceremony and take an active part in the rehearsal when our schedules are compatable. My fee is $375 and that includes everything.

Question and answer

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Being a Catholic Priest here in Cincinnati for 28 years has given me a wealth of experience as a Wedding Minister. My goal is that after the wedding is over my couples will look back on their ceremony and say, "That is exactly what we wanted." I taught high school at McNicholas for 11 years as a priest and was a Corporate Trainer at Tri Health for 13 years after I got married...so clear and effective communication is extremly important to me. Finally, the wedding is about the Bride and Groom...it is not my style to try to draw attention to myself. I like to think of myself and very friendly and personable; formal but not stuffy; and finally, warm and likable.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love meeting and getting to know all the couples who come to me to help them with their wedding. I enjoy being a part of a very happy time in their lives. And, because of my background, I really like the fact that I can provide couples a wedding that meets their needs. The wedding can have a Catholic or Christian flavor, it can be spiritual but non-denominational or it can be more civil in orientation..

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. The most common question is: "Can we put together the wedding of our choice?" Answer: Absolutely....I will provide you with 4 ceremonies and you can edit, create, change, delete etc until you get it the way you want it.

2nd. "How much do you charge and what does that include?" Answer: I have one fee. It is $375 and it include our 2 meetings, all the material I provide you, my active attendence and participation at your rehearsal as long as our schedules are compatible, transportation, and the actual wedding itself. There are no other hidden charges, I require a deposit of $100 to reserve the date and time.

3rd. "Does the Catholic Church recognize your weddings.?" Answer: No. But they are legal!! and, I believe that God blesses them.
