The Chaplain is always glad to receive enquiries from couples about Weddings or Baptisms. These are wonderful Sacraments, and always joyful family occasions and it is a privilege to be able to welcome you to St. George’s to celebrate them.

You will find that his first question is, “What is your connection with Venice? Why would you like to come to St. George’s for your special celebration?”

On these moving occasions a couple dedicate themselves, or their child, to God. This is a serious commitment and it needs the full support of Family and Friends to help you carry it out.

The normal context of these celebrations is in your Home Parish (or in the case of a Wedding, one of the couple’s home parishes) where Family, Friends and neighbours can all support you. For couples intending to travel to Venice for their special celebration, the Chaplain wants to be sure that you will have the presence of your Families and the support of your parish priest at home.
