Baptisms
Baptism is one of the two great sacraments of the Christian church (the other being the Holy Eucharist). By Baptism, we become part of the Christian community, and are empowered to be Christ’s ministers in the world. In our Baptismal Covenant we take on promises and vows to help God do God’s work in the world. Parents and godparents (sponsors) take on the The Baptismal Covenant for children who are too young to do so for themselves. A period of preparation including pre-Baptismal instruction is required prior to Baptism. For more information on how to prepare your child or yourself for Baptism, please contact the clergy through the parish office.
Confirmation
Confirmation is the sacramental rite by which baptized Christians take on for themselves promises and vows of Baptism that were taken on for them by parents and sponsors. It is an affirmation of the Baptismal Covenant and a mature dedication of oneself to God’s work in the church. The Bishop confirms those who have completed a program of preparation for Confirmation, and decided to make this mature commitment to Christian life and ministry. For more information on how to prepare your child or yourself for Confirmation, please contact the clergy through the parish office.
Marriage
Congratulations on your pending nuptials! Pre-marital instruction is required in the Episcopal Church. The Episcopal Church requires that the couple have pre-marriage counseling. Please coordinate with the clergy-person at Trinity at least 6 month prior to the wedding date. It is advisable to speak with the clergy-person prior to setting a date to ensure the church and they are available on the date you request. Please contact the church office to schedule a meeting with a member of the clergy about a wedding at Trinity.
