Reverend Michael F. Callahan

During almost 25 years of officiating at religious, civil and interfaith wedding ceremonies, I have always told each couple that it is "your day, your moment and your wedding". I will provide you with guidance and suggestions in selecting readings, vows and prayers so that the ceremony will be personalized to the extent that you wish. Or, if you prefer, I will select and prepare these parts of the ceremony for you. This is a pivotal moment in your life, even if you've known each other for a long time, and the celebration which you have with your family and friends will be meaningful, beautiful and full of love.

I am an interfaith minister and I officiate at religious, civil and interfaith ceremonies.  I was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1980 and since 1983 my ministry is no longer affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church.  I am affiliated with three religious organizations:  C.I.T.I. (an organization of active, married Catholic priests), the Federation of Christian Ministries and the Old Catholic Church of North America. Many of the ceremonies at which I officiate are from the Catholic tradition for Catholics who, for a variety of reasons, cannot or choose not to be married in the Roman Catholic Church.  I also officiate at many interfaith ceremonies including Jewish/Catholic ceremonies where I co-officiate with a Rabbi or Cantor.  Along with my associates, I officiate at wedding ceremonies all over Long Island, in New York City and beyond.
