Weddings

The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage is a reaffirmation by two people of baptismal life within the context of their commitment to a life-long relationship. Couples express this commitment in the gathered community of the Church.  We are glad to extend the ministry of presence, witness, and blessing to all by making our facilities and staff available for the assistance of couples seeking marriage in our church.  While it is not necessary to be a member of our congregation nor to be an Episcopalian in order to be married, here, our canons do require that at least one member of the couple be baptized. The liturgy for marriage will come from the Book of Common Prayer and, in most cases, be officiated by an Episcopal priest. On occasion,  another ordained minister may be invited to officiate, but the presence of our rector will always be required for the blessing of the marriage and the celebration of the Eucharist (if the Eucharist is included in the ceremony.)
