Every
person’s life, from birth to death, should be celebrated for the wonderful
gift that it is. Traditionally, significant life events such as birth, marriage,
anniversaries and the death of a loved one have been celebrated in the churches
to which people belong. But what
happens to those persons who have no church affiliation?
They are often shunned from a meaningful celebration of these significant
life events.
As
a former catholic priest, and through my current (non-denominational) pastoral
charge with All Seasons Church of Canada, I possess the experience and expertise
to offer you the celebrations that others would refuse you. Whatever the
occasion, I commit to offering a personal and empathetic celebration that truly
reflects the life event being celebrated.

To celebrate the birth or adoption of a child with a ‘Naming Celebration’ or ‘Baptism’, contact ALL SEASONS PASTORAL SERVICES. They will make the arrangements with you and contact me. |
For
all other
significant life event celebrations
such as
Anniversaries or
Memorial Services for deceased loved ones that you would like me to
officiate, please telephone me at (519) 919-1559, or email me at joe@civilmarriages.ca.
I
look forward to assisting you.
An
anonymous writer has written, “Celebrate
the little things in life, appreciate tomorrow, love your neighbour, and never
condemn yourself to a life without cause to celebrate and be thankful for what
you have. Never forget the people you love and love them when you have an
occasion to do so. Celebrate their life and celebrate yours.”
