Baptisms, Weddings, & Funerals

Baptisms

Holy Baptism, one of the two primary sacraments of the Church, is initiation into the Christian Church. As the Book of Common Prayer states, “Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble.”

Baptisms are held on the Sunday commemorating the Baptism of Jesus (the Sunday after the Epiphany), at the Easter Vigil, on Pentecost, on All Saints’ Sunday (the Sunday after November 1), and on other Sundays during the church year, please contact the Rector to plan a baptism.

Weddings

Weddings are held at St. Timothy’s for members of the parish and their families. The Canons of the Episcopal Church require at least thirty days’ notice for weddings. Planning requirements at St. Timothy’s usually require several months’ notice. Please contact the Rector for more information on preparing for weddings.

Funerals

Funerals are held at St. Timothy’s primarily for parishioners and their families. Pre-planning of funerals in consultation with the Rector is encouraged. Please see the documents below for additional guidelines.
