Made our ceremony so special

Fr. John co-officiated our hybrid Catholic(ish) - Hindu(ish) ceremony in March 2023. We had originally planned to use a traditional Catholic ceremony, and then my husband decided to bring in his Hindu traditions. We incorporated a Hindu priest and a combined ceremony that we put together and Fr. John went wtih the flow, worked so well with us and the Hindu priest and made our day truly special. Fr. John brought the Catholic traditions that were so important to me and my family, and was completely open to interweaving the Hindu traditions. I would recommend Fr. John to any couple getting married in the Chicago/NW Indiana area. He made us feel very relaxed and brought a warm sense of humor to the ceremony as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We truly enjoyed having Father John officiate our ceremony. He was kind enough to offer his time for some pre-marital sessions, and we absolutely appreciated our time with him. He personalized our ceremony and made it everything we could have possibly wanted. We cannot thank you enough!
