A Wedding Priest on Call

A Catholic Wedding Ceremony can be a beautiful experience. Some couples wish to have their ceremonies outside of the Catholic Church grounds in a hall, park or even on the beach. In most cases, the Priests from their parish will not be able to do this. Some couples are interfaith or have been divorced or never confirmed, so they may not be able to get married by the Catholic Church due to Church law.

Because of my background in the Catholic Church and being a Catholic Priest, I have a special understanding of the needs of those who are unable to solemnize their vows formally in the church because of a previous marriage situation, or who might desire to celebrate their vows in a special location or place not approved by the church.

If you are divorced or marrying someone who is, or if you no longer attend Church but still identify yourself as Catholic, I can help. I will conduct weddings based in all the major Christian traditions as well as non-religious and civil ceremonies.

I am open to any type of service which reflects your personal desires and traditions. It will be important for us to meet together before the service to plan your celebration, and to make sure that I am aware of any special needs or desires you might have.

I am Reverend A. Michael Mayhan, "Father Mike", from A Wedding Priest on Call Ministry. I am a fully ordained married Catholic priest who was ordained 38 years ago. Within those years, I requested and was granted laicization to marry. I have a loving wife and three grown daughters.

I believe that the door to salvation is always open. My mission is to be fully devoted to Jesus Christ by reaching to those who seek truth and meaning in their lives.

My mission is to go out to those who are disenfranchised from the church, or for one reason or another, have left the church altogether and to those who are unchurched but seek a spiritual blessing on their lives.

My mission is to offer the power of the Holy Sacraments conferred on me through the sacrament of Holy Orders.

I open the door to listen and be compassionate as we walk together in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

Along with this special ministry, I am also available to celebrate uplifting and joyous services for any couple respecting their desire for either a Christian or non-Christian celebration. In my 38 years of priestly ministry, I have celebrated many kinds of religious events, weddings, baptisms, funerals and anniversaries, and I have a very good understanding of the need to project a professional and caring attitude toward the bride, groom and their guests.

Therefore, for those wishing a religious ceremony, I will gladly perform weddings in the Catholic tradition to couples who honor me with their requests.
