Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals

At the Parish of Great Yarmouth—serving Great Yarmouth Minster, St Paul’s, and St Mary’s—we are privileged to be part of your life’s most significant moments. Whether you’re celebrating new life, making lifelong promises, or saying farewell to a loved one, we are here to offer support, guidance and prayer.

Baptisms

Baptism marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with God and is a joyful occasion for candidates of all ages. You may be seeking baptism for your child or considering it for yourself. We’re delighted to welcome you into the Christian family.

Baptisms typically take place during our Sunday services so that the whole church family can be part of this special moment. Preparation is provided to help you understand the meaning of baptism and the promises made.

To enquire about baptism, please get in touch with the Parish Office.

Weddings

A church wedding is more than a legal ceremony—it is a sacred vow made before God. The beauty and history of our churches provide a wonderful setting to begin your married life together.

Whether you’re just starting to think about marriage or you’re ready to set a date, we’d love to help you plan your day. We offer support throughout your preparations, including guidance on the service, readings, music, and the legal aspects.

If you’d like to marry at one of our churches, please contact us to begin the conversation.

Funerals

We are here to support you through the pain of loss. A church funeral offers a space to remember, grieve, and give thanks for a person’s life in the hope of the resurrection.

Our clergy and pastoral team will meet with you to help plan a service that reflects the life of your loved one and brings comfort to those who gather. Funerals can be held in church, at the crematorium, or at a graveside, and we continue to offer support beyond the service itself.

If you need to arrange a funeral, either directly or through a funeral director, please reach out to us—we are here for you.
