Life Celebrations
In The Episcopal Church, we mark the celebrations of special moments in each life sacramentally, meaning we use the liturgies of the Book of Common Prayer and physical elements like water, oil, bread, and wine as outward and visible signs of God’s invisible and spiritual grace at work in our lives.
The two primary sacraments we celebrate are Holy Baptism (CTA) and Holy Eucharist(CTA). Other sacramental rites include Confirmation, Marriage, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Unction of the Sick, and Ordination. While Christian Burial is not a sacramental rite, it is one of the most important and profound liturgies of the Church.
Holy Baptism
Holy Baptism is often called the gateway to all other Sacraments and Sacramental Rites of the Church. Baptism takes place within the context of public worship and is a community celebration. The application of cleansing, life-giving water in the name of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and anointing with oil are the outward and visible signs of the inward grace of God: forgiveness of sins, full inclusion into the Body of Christ, and eternal connection to the resurrection of Christ into a life characterized by God’s reign.
Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist is “the principal act of Christian worship” (BCP 13). It is our regular—at least weekly—gathering for nourishment for our pilgrim journey as disciples of Jesus Christ. The Liturgy (from the Greek, leiturgia, meaning a public service provided at a private cost) teaches us of the price that Jesus paid for the sin of the world in his Body and Blood. Our liturgy is a celebration of praise and thanksgiving, a work of all the people presided over by our priests. Together, we gather to remember that in Christ, we are all one Body, because we all share one bread and one cup.
Confirmation
Confirmation is a mature affirmation of faith and commitment to ministry in Christ’s church according to the gifts of the Holy Spirit for each follower of Jesus. Confirmation takes place during the diocesan bishop’s biennial visitation to Holy Trinity or at a regional celebration.
Marriage
Marriage is the celebration and blessing of the life-long commitment of two adults to faithful, exclusive intimacy and mutual support. A couple seeking this sacramental rite must commit to pre-marital counseling with a priest of the parish or another cleric or counselor appointed by the rector.
Burial
Christian burial is both a celebration of Easter hope and a pastoral recognition of the grief that comes with loss. Families should speak with one of our priests before meeting with a funeral home in order to avoid scheduling complications. Parishioners and family members are eligible for burial in Holy Trinity’s memorial garden (ashes only) or in St. Paul’s churchyard (casket or ashes).
