Holy Matrimony
The marriage and blessing of two people is a holy union; a lifelong, spiritual commitment. It begins with your desire to form a lasting, life-long partnership with another in God’s love, and continues throughout your lives as a process of intentional living and growing together. In this holy union, each of you as an individual, and together as a couple, gradually transform and mature in God’s presence and image. The celebration and blessing of a marriage is usually held in the church, normally within the context of Holy Eucharist. At least one member of the couple being married must be a baptized Christian.
Couples contemplating Marriage or the Blessing of a Civil Union at St. Paul’s should consult with the Rector 860-628-8486 prior to setting a date. Allow time for at least four to six sessions of counseling and instruction. A minimum of 60 days notice must be given in all cases. For those who have been divorced or have previously dissolved a civil union, a longer time is necessary, as permission of a bishop is required.
A valid license for marriage or a civil union is available from the town clerk or city clerk in the town or city in which either member of the couple resides, and must be obtained before a wedding or civil union can take place in the State of Connecticut.
