Because the decision is such an important one, we at Saint Paul's are very serious about priestly and canonical responsibilities for presiding at a marriage. To be married at Saint Paul's, each couple must meet the basic requirements established by the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church, the Diocese of Pennsylvania, and the customs and practices of this parish.

At least one of the couple must be a Baptized, practicing Christian and active member of Saint Paul's. Premarital counseling with a priest is obligatory. Weddings will not be scheduled on Sundays, during Lent, Holy Week, Easter Day, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Because of the nature of Christian Marriage, a wedding is a solemn occasion and is to be celebrated with dignity and joy. With that intention in mind, an information booklet is available which explains parish policy and practice to help you in planning your wedding at Saint Paul's Church.
