Here are the basic steps for approval if you wish to officiate at a wedding in the Diocese of Olympia and are not licensed or canonically resident.
Requests should be made at least 60 days prior to the proposed wedding date.
- Send a letter to the Bishop requesting permission. Include in this letter the date and location of the wedding as well as the names and background of those to be married.
- Submit a letter of good standing from the diocese where the requesting officiant is canonically resident.
Any further information, correspondence or questions should be sent to the Executive Assistant to the Bishop.
