A Holy Union is the spiritual joining together of two persons in a holy covenant. It is a Rite in the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC) administered by licensed clergy. At this time a Holy Union has no legal significance and is not considered a marriage in the State of Florida, however we believe it has great significance to God.

You will be issued a certificate signed by the clergy officiating, the parties joining together and two witnesses. Should either or both parties wish to discontinue the covenant relationship, it will require a Dissolution of Holy Union through UFMCC.

A sample of a standard ceremony is available for your review. The ceremony can be modified to accommodate special requests, or you may submit a ceremony of your choice to the clergy officiating at your service. The ceremony can be performed at a variety of places. There is a building usage fee if you wish to have it at Holy Cross MCC and a separate honorarium for the clergy performing the service. Music can be live, CD, or DVD. To view the Holy Cross MCC Function and Building Usage document, click here.
