Please give us some time to consider your request.

It is a particular joy for a priest to be a celebrant or concelebrant for a couple entering into the sacrament of marriage. Unfortunately, the demands on Monsignor Shea's time and the number of requests mean that his participation in weddings is not as frequent as he would like. So, you can be sure he is honored that you would think of him! Your kind assistance in providing some helpful information allows us to give full consideration to your request.

Notes:

1. The very helpful process of marriage preparation in the Catholic Church is arranged for in a local parish. If he is able to participate, Monsignor Shea would be happy to assist with the planning of the ceremony. But the rest of the preparation (premarital instruction, couples retreat, training in natural family planning, etc.) is initiated by speaking with your parish priest.

2. Because Monsignor's primary apostolate is the formation and education of college students, priority is given to requests from couples who have committed to not live together before marriage. With premarital cohabitation now so frequent in our culture, couples who prepare for marriage while not living together give powerful witness to the teachings of Jesus at a time when the world really needs that witness, especially college students. If you would like more information, here are some articles on the important topic of cohabitation from both a  and a Christian perspective.
