LIFE EVENTS
BAPTISM
The Episcopal Church recognizes and provides for infant baptism and for baptism of any person who desires to become a Christian. At Epiphany we keep with the traditional dates in the life of the church through the centuries - Easter, the day of Pentecost, All Saint's Day or the Sunday after All Saint's Day, the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord (the first Sunday after the Epiphany).

CONFIRMATION
Confirmation into the Episcopal Church is a rite in which one expresses a “mature commitment to Christ” and receives “strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop.” Those interested in confirmation can be instructed in the Christian faith through an Inquirer’s Class. Confirmation by the Bishop takes place several times a year at the Cathedral. For more information on confirmation, please contact the parish office.
​
​
FUNERALS AND MEMORIAL SERVICES
A death in the family can be reported to any of the clergy, or the parish office. Members may choose to have their ashes interred in the Memorial Garden.
​
We strongly encourage members of the Parish to make their funeral arrangements in advance. This information is kept on file in our office. All information is confidential.
​
WEDDINGS
The celebration of Christian Marriage is an occasion of great joy and our clergy and staff look forward to supporting you and celebrating with you on your wedding day. Our church is not a venue but a sacred space where the making of solemn vows in the presence of the parish community binds them together by the grace of God. Our expectation is that couples getting married at Epiphany are and will continue to be involved in the life of the church. One should be an active, pledging member before scheduling a wedding at Epiphany.
Members interested in having their marriage blessed by entering into this sacrament are asked to speak with the clergy at least six months prior to their marriage to arrange a suitable date and schedule premarital counseling. Please contact the parish office for a copy of our Wedding Policy.
