Not only is Father Jim incredibly responsive, but he is also a great professional! He made sure he had what he needed to create our beautiful Ceremony. Feeling extremely thankful to have him as our officiant!

Father Bryan was a dream come true. We consider ourselves so blessed and fortunate to have had him officiate our wedding. From the very beginning he helped us manage the stress that comes with wedding planning. He also helped us navigate the loss of my dad (who passed away one month before our wedding), and made the grief easier to manage on what was the happiest day of our lives. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Father Bryan for being as kind, supportive and wonderful as you were to us.

Being a local wedding planner who happens to be planning her own wedding means you pick from the best of the best and that's why we chose Fr. Jim. It was important to me that our ceremony had a light Catholic feel without being in church. Drafting your ceremony flow is easy with the form that Fr. Jim provides and you decide how much scripture to include, how much humor to include and whether it should be traditional, modern, or a blend of both. I knew the first time that I met Fr Jim, that he would marry us and you will too! He makes your ceremony fun, especially when your three year old nephew/ring bearer starts yelling "no, I don't want to" and Fr. Jim doesn't miss a beat and says "That's what Carmen (my now husband) was just telling me". Hilarious! You'll never regret having Fr. Jim officiate your ceremony!

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant than Father Jim for our wonderful wedding day! He brought such a bright charisma to our ceremony it was like we had known him forever! In a day where it is so tough to find a Catholic priest to be an officiant at an off-site venue (at a Golf Course), Fr. Jim did an amazing job and made us feel welcomed the entire time. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars to really show how happy he made us on the day of our wedding!

Father Connors officiated our wedding ceremony a few weeks ago. It was a fantastic experience. I had been having trouble with the Roman Catholic church down the road regarding my marriage to my Hindu husband. I won't go into the long story of it, but slowly I was feeling less and less welcome in the church and finding it to be a very difficult and unhappy experience.
I came across St. Miriam's through this website and read into the Old Catholics. From the second I emailed Father Connors, I was met with kindness, compassion, and true acceptance. He was great through the entire process from helping me pick out ceremony parts, figuring out what traditions to merge, and meeting with us after mass one day just to chat and get to know each other before the wedding day.
The day of, he gave a lovely ceremony that you honestly could not tell was not even "Catholic." It felt just like it would have in church except it was just the ceremony and could be done at the venue. It was a great blend of solemn with a few well deserved jokes that make the entire day great. Even though we had only met once and talked over email, Father Connors was genuinely happy to be presiding and added such a warmth and joy to the entire day. My very Catholic grandparents spoke to him afterwards and were beaming that "he really is a Catholic!" afterwards. So for those who are worried about Roman versus Old, don't worry. It really isn't different at all.
What struck me about the entire experience was the kindness and compassion of the entire church. We both felt welcome the second we set foot in the building and interacted with Father Connors. The day was truly about celebrating our love and not about rules and paperwork. We smile very fondly thinking back on the entire day from start to finish, and Father Connors and St. Miriam's was a huge part of that.

Words cannot begin to describe how incredible Father James ceremony service was. We were getting married out of town which increased our nerves from never meeting him, but we felt like he knew us our entire lives. He made the rehearsal and the ceremony stress free, enlightening and helped us along when our nerves set in. He even cracked some light hearted jokes which everyone always enjoys. We received numerous compliments about his services and we could not be more happy. He even helped me tie my shoe when I was unable to do so. He is a MUST HAVE at your wedding.

We were looking for a Catholic priest to celebrate our ceremony and luckily, we found Monsignor Jim St. George and the Saint Miriam Parish. We did our pre-Cana at the parish church in Flourtown. We attended mass prior to the pre-Cana and the members of the parish were very welcoming. Our pre-Cana was authentic and meaningful. Monsignor Jim focused on advising us about what could make or break a marriage. The atmoshere was relaxed and humorous
For our ceremony, Monsignor Jim gave us a list of passages from which to choose. Although we've previewed the passages, Msgr Jim's delivery at our wedding was amazing. He made everything he said truly meaningful and his message of staying in love resonated with us and our guests. He made us laugh and cry. We could not have picked a better celebrant. Thank you for a wonderful celebration, Msgr Jim!

Father James was absolutely wonderful as our officiant! Everyone loved him and loved what he did for our ceremony. He is extremely kind and was completely devoted to ensuring our day was one we will never forget. I highly recommend him as an officiant, he was always very responsive and available to me whenever I had any questions or concerns. There wasn't a dry eye during the ceremony and we felt completely at peace. Thank you so much Father James for such a beautiful ceremony and a day that we will never forget!

Father Jim officiated our wedding in July 2015. We had such a wonderful experience working with him! My husband and I are both catholic, but wanted to get married outside at our reception venue. Father Jim was previously a catholic priest, so he was a perfect fit for us! Many people commented that there was a perfect amount of religion incorporated in our ceremony, without it being too lengthly. Everyone thought his personality was great too! Father Jim made our ceremony meaningful, light-hearted, and fun. He responded to our e-mails quickly and was so accommodating with our requests! Highly recommend!

Father Jim is a wonderful, wonderful person! My husband and I are lucky enough to now call him a fast friend. He immediately brought peace and joy to our day, and eased any stressors that we had encountered. Our wedding ceremony was heartfelt, inspirational, and delivered with passion. There was not a dry eye in the audience. Father Jim added something truly special to our day, and my new husband and I are looking forward to calling on him for spiritual leadership for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend him for your wedding, and can confidently say that he will indeed bring the presence of the Lord to your special day. He is professional, reliable, and all around amazing! We could not have asked for more.

Father Jim is the best! We met with him approximately a year before our wedding. With all the good reviews I read about him, I knew he would be someone who books quickly. When we met with him, he immediately put us at ease and answered any questions we had. We are not avid church-goers-but being spiritual and growing up Catholic I knew I wanted a priest to officiate our wedding-just not in a church setting.
Father Jim had an enormous repertoire of ceremony choices from which to pick from. There were so many prayers and sayings I loved that I had a hard time choosing one for each section.
Father Jim was also always accessible via email and answered my questions very quickly. On the day of, he helped make the ceremony so memorable and special. I received so many compliments on what a beautiful and unique ceremony we had. I hope to have Father Jim perform other sacraments for us in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone!

My fiance and I had a very hard time finding someone who would perform a catholic ceremony and Monsignor Jim was absolutely amazing. He put us at ease right away, and was so nonjudgmental and was so kind and supportive. He helped us customize our ceremony so it reflected us. All of the guests agreed that it was one of the best ceremonies they had been too. He is so personable and really works to make a connection with the couple, and the guests as well.

I felt like I have known Father St. George forever, yet the first time I met him was at the Rehearsal Dinner. He was always responsive from the beginning to end and was very thorough on the ceremony details. He even held a special mass for my Mom when she found out she was sick a couple of weeks before the wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to respect their religion without having to get married in a church!
