Weddings

These days, in spite of all the hype from the wedding industry, it's amazing that people are still willing to stand up in front of God and everyone they know and say, "I'll be with you until we are parted by death". At its best, it's a way of life that is life-giving and life-changing, not only for the couple, but for their families, friends, and the wider community. It matters that we make these commitments to each other - and we would feel honoured to be part of your special day.

Our aim is to make your wedding as memorable and worry-free as possible. We have two volunteers from the parish (Judy Jupp and Liz Smith) who act as Wedding Co-ordinators. One of them will meet with you for a conversation about what you are looking for and how we can help. If you are unfamiliar with St. Christopher's, they will give you a mini-tour of our clean, modern facility and outline what we can offer in terms of clergy care, music, flowers, candles, service leaflets, and details of the service itself. They will also explain our requirements in terms of marriage preparation, a wedding rehearsal, and fees.

For more information, please contact the Parish Office at Staff or 905-634-1809.

A note from the Rector
At this point, my clergy colleagues and I are not authorized to preside at the weddings of same-sex couples, but we may preside at a church service to celebrate the civil marriage of a gay or lesbian couple - and I would be honoured to do so. If you want to explore this possibility, please call me, Steve Hopkins, at Staff or 905-634-1809.
