    I dont know if she is looking for someone to come to her, but our Priest, who is at St. Clement, Father Ramil, was awesome. I felt like he was really in touch with the world today (sounds strange, but I think you know some arent:) ) and he was great. A bunch of people actually commented on how great he was after the ceremony. We have been to a lot of weddings where I have no idea what the Priest is even talking about!

    We got married at St. Pat's in Joliet and our priest was great!  We got married in August and we actually had people commenting over the weekend on how relaxed and cool our priest was.

    Does your friend want to be married within the church? There are married Catholic priests that may be more liberal. But, since they official left the church they cannot marry within the church. If your friend is open to getting married at a different venue - this may work well.

    Fr. Phil at Holy Innocents is fantastic.
