Let us help you plan your ceremony!
Gentle Shepherd is an independent catholic church, fully sacramental and with apostolic succession!
We believe that two people who wish to express their love for each other in a marriage or other commitment ceremony should have that right without judgment on our part, or anyone else’s part.
There is no room in our theology for restrictions due to divorce or interdenominational questions.
You do not have to be a member of our church, or any church to
be joined with your loved one!
We can also perform wedding ceremonies in French, German, or Dutch. Please
email us for further information.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions of comments you may have!
