The Blessing of Same-gender Unions

---

With the Bishop’s permission and by resolution of the vestry, St. Andrew’s is now a parish where the blessing of same-gender relationships may take place.  Blessings are available to active members of the parish, and will use the liturgy provided by the diocese. Couples who are interested in seeking a blessing should contact the rector.

Many thanks to the vestry task force who guided our discernment process, and to all those who told their stories and offered their views during this time.  This is an important milestone in the life of our community and we look forward to celebrating the first of these blessings in the Fall of 2011.
