MARRIAGE
PREPARATION​

We share the delight of couples who announce their intention to marry and we warmly congratulate them.  We therefore aim to give every couple marrying in the parish some knowledge and skills that will help make their marriage the best possible. We aim to establish the concept of lifelong relationship education, recognising that the transition from single life or a cohabiting relationship is only the first of many exciting changes which will occur over the lifespan of a marriage.  If you are preparing for a second time marriage there are specific issues you will be facing.  An experienced couple can work with you in your marriage preparation to address these issues - contact the Parish Office holytrinity.wgtn@xtra.co.nz or 04 388 6953​ to start this process

WEDDINGS

We have three churches in the parish for your special day - contact the Parish Office holytrinity.wgtn@xtra.co.nz or 04 388 6953​ to make a booking and arrange a time to discuss your wedding plans with one of our priests

YOUTH
BAPTISM​

Picture
Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as a son or daughter of God. In Baptism we become members of Christ and are incorporated into the Church, becoming sharers in her mission. While it is an important event in the life of a family, it is more than just a private family celebration. When a child becomes a member of God’s family through Baptism, the Church community commits to supporting the parents and the child in their faith journeys - contact the Parish Office holytrinity.wgtn@xtra.co.nz or 04 388 6953​ to arrange your child's baptism
