Good Shepherd American Catholic Church

My husband and I were torn on where we would find an officiant. I was raised Catholic, he was raised Muslim, and together we wanted a meaningful ceremony that would reflect both of our cultures. Fr. Mike at Good Shepherd American Catholic Church was recommended to us, and he didn’t disappoint! We had a personally tailored Catholic ceremony atop a mountain in Malibu, and we incorporated the Nikkah (the Muslim «ceremony») into the middle of our ceremony. Fr. Mike was not only open to letting us craft our own version of the wedding that reflected both of our histories and cultures, but he seemed genuinely excited and interested in learning more about my husband’s faith and traditions. Both of our families commented on how open-​minded and loving Fr. Mike was, and how incredibly touching and eloquent his ceremony was. Definitely recommend him for anyone looking to have a ceremony that doesn’t fit any one particular tradition.
