The Black Madonna of Perpetual Help

WHY

You have found each other, and you want God at the center of your life together. I want to help you begin it well. Every couple who comes seeking God’s blessing is welcome here. Queer, straight, divorced — we are all made in God’s image.

WHAT

A ceremony written with you, in English, Spanish, or both, and celebrated wherever you choose. Vow renewals and blessings of unions.

Premarital and couples counseling, so you walk into your marriage ready for it.

WHO

I would be honored to stand with you on your day, to know your story before I tell it, and to keep praying for you long after the last dance.

Rev. Dr. Tony Rivera, Pastor of The Black Madonna of Perpetual Help Ministries, officiates weddings.

Premarital and couples counseling is provided by Rev. Dr. Rivera, a trained SYMBIS and Prepare/Enrich facilitator, as Director of Kindling Resilience, who offers volunteer hours to The Black Madonna of Perpetual Help Ministries.
