My uncle is a Catholic priest. His "title" is Father
The example wedding announcements in my local paper use "Rev." which I assume is short for "Reverend Father." Are Rev. and Father interchangeable?
Check the Churches website and copy what they have. There's a few way's it could be and it also depends on his "senority."
Fr. John Doe
Fr. John Doe C.F.R (Or T.O.R, O.S.B, etc)
Rev. John Doe (possible suffix as well).
Msgr. John Doe
There are some others but these are the most common at "local parish" level.
Spoken, a Catholic priest is referred to as "Father"
Written, it's usually "Reverend" but can vary depending on what level of priest he is (Rev, V Rev, Monsingor etc)
@jenbrandner: A priest used to sign my payroll check, he signed under Reverend.
Just to make sure, call the church and find out.
"Reverend" is the correct title. I think the full title is "Reverend Father". Maybe check the paper to see how they listed other Catholic announcements?
I would check with the church about the specific priest as each priest can have a different title. Go to the church website or grab your bulletin from Sunday. He'll be listed on both just as he would like to be "formally"
@jenbrandner: I just checked my church's website. The priests are all Reverends.
Unfortunately, the priest who presided for us actually resides in Mexico, and I highly doubt the church he's staying at has a website. I have his "business card" which only lists his name and mentions that he's a member of the 'Communidad de San Pablo.'
I could always email him to ask his official title, but that means I probably won't be able to finish up this blasted wedding announcement tonight...
I found a potential website (I don't speak spanish) signed with a P. Carlos Álvarez cjm
I'm assuming P is for Padre (father in spanish) CJM would potentially represent the community he's a part of.
I would go with Padre if you can't find his real stuff. I'm assuming it will most likely read; "Padre Carlos Alvarez of ___, Mexico officiated the wedding/mass."

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I'm filling out a form for our wedding announcement, and they want the name and title of the officiant. Ours was a Catholic priest. Do I put priest, pastor, father, or something else?
Thanks to anyone who can help!
