FAQs

 

I'd like to have my wedding at Holy Trinity. What do I need to know?

A person desiring to be married in this parish must be (for at least one year prior to the wedding) a member who is a communicant in good standing, the child of a member who is a communicant in good standing, or transferring in as a communicant in good standing from another parish. It is possible for persons who are not communicants in good standing to be married at Holy Trinity when express permission is granted by the rector.

How do I become a member?

We are always delighted to welcome new members into our parish! As you get acquainted, we hope you will consider joining Holy Trinity. Such a commitment is a joyful decision, but before you make it, take some time to reflect on the meaning of membership. Christianity may be a personal faith, but it is not a private one. We are meant to be individual parts of one body, the body of the Christ, and our relationships with one another - in worship, giving, friendship and service - are a witness to our faith.

If you are a baptized member of another church, becoming a member of Holy Trinity is as simple as requesting that a letter of transfer be sent to us from your former place of worship. If you have not been baptized, or if you are interested in the deeper commitment of confirmation, please contact a member of the clergy, who can apprise you of the best course for your particular situation.

How do I plan a funeral at Holy Trinity?

If you are planning a funeral for a loved one who has already passed away, or whose passing is imminent, please contact a member of the clergy as soon as possible. After meeting with the family, final plans will be made and a date for the service set. Learn more about pre-planning your funeral service.
