Hello on this 4th of July I would like you to know that if you are looking for a Catholic priest to do a service outside of church a married priest is your best bet. Why? First they are not under the control of the local Bishop, who most often prohibits this. 2nd I am a certified priest by CITI ministries.org that is I have presented my ordination credentials, I have allowed my self to have a criminal background check and have passed other requirements so that you know I am of good character. This group was started by Catholics in Boston, Mass. who felt the Church was not doing enough in light of the shortage of priests. Many married priests were forced to leave the priesthood because they felt a call to marry. Pope John Paul II publically stated that marriage should not be a hindrance to being a priest but the leaders of the Roman part of the Catholic Church have refused to change. By using a Citiministries priest you are taking advantage of a right given to you by the Canon Laws of the Church. These laws recognize the powers of these priests in emergency circumstances and if you are in danger of not receiving the spiritual benefits of the church because your local priest has refused to marry you, or baptize your child or come to your side at a time of serious illness then you can ask a married priest to help you. The Church will not currently recognize your wedding but it cannot deny the validity of the spiritual benefit that comes to you. Please visit my website www.askfathercarroll.com if you find yourself in such a predicament if you live in New Jersey. If you live outside of NJ please go to the Citiministries.org website click on the Find a Priest item and a directory of priests will come up for you to select someone to help you. May the peace of Christ reside with you and please offer a prayer for the Church and its leaders to restore the married priesthood to the Roman part of the Catholic Church.
If you need a priest for a wedding, baptism, funeral or a house blessing or any religious event Father Carroll can help you. Father Carroll Mrowicki is a married Catholic Priest who has a wedding ministry for those who cannot obtain a priest for their services.
