As an Independent Catholic (non-Roman) order, we have greater flexibility in ministry. Those entering into second marriages, those experiencing religious differences with the church and others will find openness and acceptance here. We provide marriage services in a compassionate manner.
Perhaps you have concerns about perceived barriers? We treat you with the same care Christ gave to all who came to him.The choice of location for your wedding is yours. Depending on weather and other factors ceremonies may be held out-of-doors. You may hold your wedding at one of our chapels, or arrange to use another interdenominational church or chapel. Hotels, banquet halls, private homes, museums and other locales are other options. A wedding consultant or the yellow pages can yield additional suggestions.
Personalization of Wedding Ceremonies:
We will be pleased to assist you in personalizing your wedding ceremony. There are many ways in which this can be accomplished. Options for readings, both from the scriptures and other sources, which speak to marriage are available. Vows can be written by you or chosen from more traditional options. Ceremonies which speak to various ethnic groups such as the coin, rope and veil, hand fasting or jumping-the-broom ceremonies can also be accommodated. Unity candles, roses to parents and other more traditional activities can be easily included. Discussing your wishes with your priest is the best way to assure that your day is special.
Nuptial Mass & Wedding Ceremonies:
Your wedding ceremony will be very similar to that celebrated in the Roman jurisdiction since we share the same liturgical forms. Because the Franciscan Community of Mercy is ecumenical in spirit, all people participating in the ceremony are invited to the altar for communion, regardless of religious affiliation. Wedding ceremonies can also be celebrated outside of the Mass.
