Our dear family and personal friend Fr. Richard Fragomeni (S.T.B., M.A., University of Louvain; M.A., M. Music, Ph.D.) has agreed to perform the wedding ceremony for us at the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii Catholic Church where he acts as rector.

Richard's "full time gig", as he calls it, is as Associate Professor of Liturgy and Preaching at Catholic Theological Union (CTU) Graduate School of Theology and Ministry.

Richard Fragomeni is a presbyter of the Diocese of Albany, New York. His work involves him in conversation with theology, interpretation theory, and poetry. His current work is in the field of word and sacrament: the intersection of symbolic activity and language as it creates insights into the Christian proclamation of grace. Central to his work is a fascination with the power of liturgy and preaching in the transformation of consciousness.
