The Sacred Journey

Welcome to Sacred Presence! In these pages, you’ll find a ministry that works with you as you are, for whatever you need now.

Working with your ceremony officiant is an important component of any celebration, and having the right person in that position can make beautiful memories that last a lifetime. Your officiant shouldn’t be a random stranger who helps you “seal the deal” and pronounces you a married couple, or someone who simply recites the facts of your loved one’s life. The person you trust to join your lives, memorialize your loved one, or bless the life of your child should be caring, honest, and value the weight of responsibility of their chosen path. As an Interfaith minister and ceremony officiant, I will see you as you are and create the ceremony of your dreams.

Located in Toledo, Ohio and able to serve throughout the world virtually, Sacred Presence serves your spiritual needs through Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals, Spiritual Counseling, Classes, and Spiritual Workshops. Rev. Nicole Ritz is an Interfaith Minister, Ordained by One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in New York and a minister registered with the State of Ohio.

Rev. Nicole officiated my daughter’s wedding. I could not imagine someone doing a more conscientious, professional job. She took the time to really work with the couple, helping them through the process of preparing not only for the wedding but for married life. She masterfully integrated personal aspects to make the service such a touching tribute to their love. Her meticulous preparation was so evident as the service went perfectly. She was poised and at times funny – always striking the right chord at the right time. I could not possibly recommend her any more highly.

Rev. Nicole did a blessing ceremony for us and it was beautiful! Her tenderness and ability to adapt the ceremony to our situation was amazing. She is a very kind person who puts people at ease immediately!
