Sacraments
Communion
If you have followed Jesus through the waters of baptism, it matters not which denomination, for baptism makes us one in Christ Jesus. Nor does it matter your martial status, sexual orientation, political opinions, etc. Communion is not a reward for any accomplishment of our own, but a gift freely given to help embrace and share the Christian life. All are welcome to share in the graces of the Eucharistic meal.
Sacramental Marriage
The Sacrament of Marriage for relationships of same or mixed genders are celebrated. All of the marriages that we perform are sacraments that have religious significance and we consider them to be marriages that are blessed by a loving and caring God. Ceremonies between a woman and a man are recognized by the State of Arizona and have all the legal rights of a married couple. Same gender marriages are not recognized by the State of Arizona and do not have the legal rights of a married couple, however, they are given equal respect and treatment within the Ecumenical Catholic Communion.
For those not wanting a Sacrament of Marriage, a Spiritual Commitment celebration witnessed by family and friends can be arranged.
