I thought I should tell you a little bit about myself, why I started this ministry and what I do it.

Hi, I am ordained a wedding officiant as well Presiding Bishop for the Restoration Connection Church and Fellowship Int,

I am the primary clergy/priest/bishop  of Divine Mercy Ministry of Central New York here in Syracuse, NY. And for those that are wondering about the group I belong to, it is compassionate but biblical in doctrine and practice, but while still being progressive in outreach and opening towards all people of faith.

I have begun to realize that there was a great need for wedding ministers.  Many couples do not have a specific church affiliation, or they do have a church affiliation and their clergy person is unable or unwilling to work with the couple on the choices they want for their own marriage ceremony. 

I believe that every couple should have the opportunity for the ceremony to be expressed within their faith as Christians. With the encouragement of friends, our family, and other clergy I am associated with, 

I have decided to start offering our ministerial services  to couples throughout Central New York  that needed a minister for their own marriage ceremony, whether they were members of local Church/Ministry or not.

I offer the wedding ministry to male and female couples that are interested in the services, I have to offer.

What do you want to say to your beloved on the day you begin your lives as marriage partners? Whatever it is, I will help you create it.

I will perform not only Christian traditional ceremonies, but contemporary ceremonies, Inter-Faith ceremonies, blending of families, Catholic, religious, civil, spiritual and secular ceremonies. You may wish to add a memorial, sand, wine, unity candle or other reflection of your relationship to your ceremony as well.  It is your ceremony.

My goal is to help couples create a memorable and beautiful beginning to their married life. Each ceremony is unique to the couple. You will participate in creating the ceremony script you want.

I will provide you both with as much or as little assistance as you desire. We do this because we believe that marriage ceremonies should reflect the personalities and beliefs of the couple and what they want to say to each other as they begin their married lives together.

Part of the unique nature of creating the ceremony you want is that we will conduct the ceremony at the place of your choosing, ie. Outdoors, in your home, in a local church, or other venue. We travel throughout the state.

If you would like to discuss your ceremony dreams and plans with us, please contact me via e-mail at cnyweddingministry@gmail.com or telephone me directly at 315-345-5877. We will be glad and honored to help in any way we can to make your day special.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. May God's blessings be upon you both? We look forward to hearing from you soon.
