Weddings, Baptisms & Funerals

Over its long history, St Saviour’s Cathedral has seen thousands of weddings, Baptisms and commemorative services. It performs an important function in the wider Diocese and the immediate Goulburn community as a “church of choice” for many people and organisations when thinking of such events.

Preparation for Marriage and Baptism, as well as arrangements for commemorative services, can be initiated by contacting the Cathedral office.

Baptism

Baptism is an important point in any person’s journey with God – adult or child. At St Saviour’s we are keen to be involved in this journey. Baptism is an important function of St Saviour’s, and such services are conducted in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where children and families are particularly catered for.

As Jesus himself said: “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them.”

Infant Baptism, rightly entered into, is a sign that your child has become a member of Christ, a child of God and an inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven.
