Although private sacramental confessions are not required for admission to worship or reception of communion within the Episcopal Church, many individuals have found this sacrament a comfort during times when their consciences were troubled. Individuals desiring to have their confession heard should contact a member of the clergy staff and make an appointment. Holy Matrimony is the sacrament of the union between husband and wife. Weddings are performed for members of the church only. Marriage is understood to be a sacrament entered into within the context of Christian community and therefore requires active participation in that community.
Some restrictions exist for individuals who are divorced.
Individuals interested in being married should contact the office. Healing is the sacrament of the sick involving the laying on of hands and application of oil. The sacrament of healing is available to any person desiring it at our Wednesday morning service or on an appointment basis. Individuals unable to attend the Wednesday morning service who would like to receive the sacrament of healing should contact a member of the clergy staff and make an appointment. Burial of the Dead is a pastoral rather than sacramental service.
