The pastoral offices include forms for Commitment to Christian Service, Thanksgiving for the Birth or Adoption of a Child, Ministration to the Sick, Ministration at the Time of Death, and the Burial of the Dead among others.

The sacrament of marriage is performed for parishioners who have been in regular attendance at worship services and who participate in parish life. For more information, please contact the Rector.
