DiggWeddings
We welcome those who wish to be married at Trinity Church or St. Paul's Chapel. We require 4 month's notice prior to a wedding, and at least one of the parties must be a baptized Christian. Premarital counseling is required by the canons of the Episcopal Church. In the case of a divorced person who wishes to remarry, permission from the Bishop is required. Under no circumstances should any announcement of a wedding at Trinity Church or St. Paul's Chapel be made until the couple has had an interview with the priest, the priest consents to officiate and our Statement of Understanding is signed and a deposit has been made.

Baptisms
Baptisms of adults and children take place four times a year during the Sunday Eucharist. Parents and sponsors (Godparents) receive instruction in the Christian faith. Adults who have not received instruction in the Christian faith and adults who have not received Christian baptism with water in "the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit," will be enrolled in Commitment to Discipleship, a Christian commitment preparation course for adults.

Funerals
Christian burial is a service of blessing for the deceased and of thanksgiving to God for that person's life. As Christians, we believe that death marks not the end of life, but a new beginning as we move from earthly life to a greater Life with God. A Christian is properly buried or cremated from the Church; it is desirable that the service include a requiem Eucharist. The Pastoral Office has resource material to assist in the creation of a will (including a Living Will), and information regarding burial arrangements at Trinity Church Cemetery at 155th Street and Riverside Drive. The Cemetery Office and clergy staff are both available for consultation and pastoral care in times of need.
