Officiant Help in Ma

Sarah, on July 6, 2020 at 9:13 PM Posted in Massachusetts Planning 0 7

We are in Ma, currently looking if anyone has had any experience or recommendations for Officiants. We were hoping to find a Catholic Priest that would be able to marry outside of the church setting. We know many are unable to, so would also be OK with someone who has left the Church or etc. Any recommendations we would appreciate!

    I would see if maybe where you are getting married might have a recommendation. We got married at a hotel and they recommended an officiant to us. He was a preacher, but he preformed ceremonies outside of his church. We choose not to go with him because of my bridesmaids (she ended up dropping out) is a Jehovah's Witness and couldn't be in the ceremony if we had a religious figure perform the ceremony. We ended up going with a celebrate that I found through WeddingWire. WeddingWire has a vendors section you can use. You should be able to look for a priest and you can reach out to them to see if they would be willing to perform a ceremony outside of their church.

    I think priests can only marry people inside of a Catholic church for it to count as a sacrament, so you might be out luck there. Maybe you could try calling one of the Catholic colleges to see if they have any recommendations?
    The first ones I thought of were Boston College, Stonehill, and Holy Cross, but there are a ton, so I'm sure you can find one close to you even if you're in a different part of the state. You could also try the Harvard Divinity School.
