About

Hello and welcome! I am an Independent Catholic Priest serving at St. Joseph of Arimathea Church in New Haven. As Independent Catholic Clergy we feel it's important to reach out and minister to all. This includes those who are divorced and being remarried, GLBT couples, and those choosing to be married at a venue rather than in the Church. If you are looking for a Priest that will help to celebrate your marriage within a Catholic liturgy then I encourage you to contact me. I have been performing marriage ceremonies for over eight years now and look forward to speaking with you about yours.

Father Shawn delivered a truly special ceremony. He said all the right things, gave our ceremony special meaning, while at the same time adding humor to his comments. Our guests loved him, as did we.

Father Shawn was the officiant at my wedding on June 16, 2012. As soon as we had the initial meeting we saw his lighthearted bubbly personality. His disposition mirrored the light hearted sense of humor my husband and I embody. I was quite impressed by his quick whit and effervescent charm, and new our day would be complete with Fr. Shawn performing our ceremony. I have already referred Father Shawn to my best friend who will be married on August 3, 2014, and would do so again.
