Correct way to list a Priests name

Court8181

We are finishing up our wedding programs and wanted to check....is the proper way to write out a priests name "The Reverend Father John Doe"?  I checked our parish website, and it lists him as Fr. Doe and Rev. Doe depending on the page....TIA!

Yu are correct. The formal way to refer to a priest in a written document is "The Reverend Father John Doe" Informally, you can just use Fr., but as it's a wedding programme, I'd say stick with the formal.

I agree, for the program, go with the formal "The Reverend Father John Doe." Also, make sure he's called celebrant, not presider.  But he does technically preside at Mass, but he celebrates Mass.  (I know, confusing.)
