Two
lay chaplains are part of the
congregation at Capital. They
are available to perform
ceremonies including weddings,
same sex marriages, naming
ceremonies, funerals, and
celebrations of life.
Each service is
custom designed and can be
held where the participants
want. The services are fully
recognized in Canadian law.
People need not be members of
our Unitarian Fellowship, nor
Unitarians, to arrange for any
of the Unitarian Chaplain's
services. They also need not
abandon their personal faith.
While these rites of passage
are free for members of our
Unitarian Fellowship, there is
a fee for non-members.
Same Sex Marriages
On July 8th, 2003, British
Columbia became the second
province to legalize same-sex
marriage. Before then our lay
chaplains had been joyfully
blessing same-sex partnerships by
performing "services of union".
The lay
chaplains have developed a
same-sex wedding booklet to help
with the planning. Please get in
touch with us through the contacts
below, for more information.
Memorial
Services - Funerals
Our lay
chaplains conduct funeral and
memorial services and
celebrations of life with
sensitivity and grace.
Infant Naming
Our lay chaplains have a lot of
experience conducting naming
services.
Other Rites of Passage
Our lay chaplains can help you
to arrange meaningful services
to mark life's milestones such
as adolescent coming of age,
house blessings, still birth,
croning (reaching elderhood) and
many others.
