Does anyone have any recommendations for a Priest to do an interfaith ceremony?  We want the marriage to be valid in the catholic church, but we have already decided to raise our kids jewish, but still want both religions represented at our ceremony.

    Not gonna happen.  We went that route - I'm Jewish, he's Catholic.  His marriage won't be considered valid in the Catholic church because it won't be a sacrament because (assuming that YOU are Jewish) you're not baptized.  It won't be recognized by the Catholic church because of that.  You can do other things - pre cana, an interfaith wedding, etc., but unless you convert it will never be a sacrament.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

    However, you can STILL have a beautiful interfaith ceremony.  We did that and everyone said that it was such a meaningful ceremony.  We had readings from the torah and the bible, we did the wine ceremony, read both the Catholic and Jewish vows, broke the glass, had a chuppah...I would recommend starting with either your rabbi or his priest for guidance.  Good luck!
