Emmy Award-Winning Priest Weds Actress Who Was His Parishioner

Terrance A. Sweeney, 42, and Pamela Susan Shoop, 38, a television and film actress, were married at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Pacific Palisades by three Episcopal priests.

Sweeney met Shoop in 1985 when she was a prospective parishioner at the Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, where Sweeney said Mass. At the time, his brother and her father were both dying of cancer, they said. And discussions about those deaths drew them closer.

A story in Monday's editions of The Times on the marriage of Catholic priest Terrance A. Sweeney incorrectly reported that his bride, Pamela Shoop, was a member of the Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Beverly Hills when she met Sweeney, who had been assigned to the church part time. In fact, they met when she was considering converting to Catholicism and joining the Good Shepherd parish.
