Officiant needed

Michelle,

Make sure this is a good option to do. Try to find out about a prison chaplain or minister. They may be able to perform the marriage or refer someone

Here is what Bing AI says about that.

To find out about a prison chaplain or minister at your friend's prison, you can follow these steps:

1. **Contact the Facility**: Reach out to the prison where your friend is located. You can usually find contact information on the prison's official website or through a directory.

2. **Ask for the Chaplaincy Department**: Once in contact, ask to be connected to the chaplaincy department. They can provide information about the chaplain or minister assigned to the facility.

3. **Inquire About Services**: Ask about the religious services provided, how inmates can participate, and if there are any specific programs or counseling available.

4. **Request a Meeting or Message**: If you wish to send a message or request a meeting with the chaplain, inquire about the procedure to do so.

Prison chaplains typically perform a wide range of functions, from administering religious programs to providing spiritual counseling¹. Each facility may have different policies and procedures, so it's important to get the most accurate information directly from the prison.

If you need further assistance or resources, organizations like the American Correctional Chaplains Association provide valuable information and might help you understand the role and services of correctional chaplains².

K.

I was just hoping the chaplain could have recommendations. There are volunteer ministries that visit prisons and might be more prepared to help than just finding random officiants.

You can ask Bing AI this question: how can i find an officiant to marry my fiance who is in prison?

These are some people/groups that do this :
