I hereby certify that to the best of my belief the answers to the above questions are correct. I agree that the information contained in the form may be used as described below.
For the purposes of data protection law, the data controller is the Minister of the parish, The Reverend (Fr) Benjamin Thompson, and the PCCs of St Michael's Workington and St John's Workington (“PCC”), who will use the information on this form to ensure that the legal requirements relating to the marriage are complied with and to make arrangements for your banns to be called. The Minister and PCC will only share the information with those who need to see it for those purposes. Your data may be stored on behalf of the Minister, or the PCC either on systems owned by the Archbishops’ Council of the Church of England or other software. After your wedding, your church would love to keep in touch with you on anniversaries and to let you know about services and events that may interest you. If you are happy for the church to keep in touch with you in this way, please tick this box
*
I am happy for the church to keep in touch in this way.
NOTES
*
If either of you will not be 18 by the proposed date of the wedding, the priest will need to know whether the consent of parents or guardians has been obtained.
**
If you aren't sure which Church of England parish you live in, please enter your postcode into the search box on www.achurchnearyou.com and look for the church flagged “This is the parish church”. If either or both of you live in a different parish from the church you’re getting married at, you’ll need to arrange for the banns to be read there, too.
A least seven days’ notice is required before the first reading of banns.
A member of the church community will let you know when your banns will need to be read. You might want to come to church to hear them read and you’d be very welcome.
The reading of banns and production of a banns certificate are both subject to statuatory charges. The cost of these will be communicated at the same time as the dates that banns will bill be read.
