MILESTONES

Baptism
Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into the Body of Christ. Persons of any age are able to be baptized.
Confirmation and Reception
Those baptized at an early age may make a mature public affirmation of their baptism through the
rite of confirmation. Those who have made such an affirmation in another Christian tradition may
be received as members of the Episcopal Church. Both confirmation and reception include prayer
and the laying on of hands by the bishop.
Weddings
A wedding celebrated at the cathedral is an affirmation of a couple’s commitment to each other
and to God through Jesus Christ.
Remarriage of the divorced is permitted with the consent of the
bishop. Weddings are open to both same and opposite sex couples. The planning and celebration
of weddings is undertaken in consultation with the clergy.
Funerals
It is an honor for our cathedral staff to help plan a funeral or memorial service in a time of loss.
Please contact the cathedral office [LINK mailto: cathpaul@cathedralofstpaul.org] to inquire
about these services.
