Weddings & Blessings at St. John's Lafayette

The Book of Common Prayer—the form of our church’s worship—presumes that those seeking marriage in the Church have a relationship with the local congregation where they wish to have their marriage blessed. Preparation includes consideration of the ceremony but also the Church’s hope for the couple’s life together as expressed in the prayers of the service and the ways that life might be lived out.

St. John’s is an open and affirming parish and welcomes queer and genderqueer couples looking to honor their relationship within Christian community. In addition, couples who have experienced divorce are also welcome to explore marriage within the Episcopal Church.

Persons seeking marriage preparation should contact Bradley Pace.  You may also contact St. John's by EMAIL or at 765.742.4079.
