Wedding Presiders
 
A Catholic Priest or Deacon of your choice is welcome to be the presider of your wedding. The couple must notify the Marriage Records Office of the celebrant's name, address, and phone number four months prior to the wedding so that the necessary permission papers can be obtained. 
 
If a couple does not have a presider, one will be provided by St. John Center Chapel.
 
Weddings between two Catholics will normally celebrate a wedding Mass. 

Weddings between a Catholic and non-Catholic or one who is not baptized will celebrate a Scripture service normally conducted by a Catholic Deacon. 
 
A stipend payable to the priest or deacon is an accepted practice.
