Welcome to the parish church of Bodmin: St Petroc in the Anglican Diocese of Truro and county of Cornwall England.
St Petroc's feature's as one of the thirty churches in the Songs of Praise Book, 'The Nations Favourite Churches' as the book testifies, visitors are given a very warm welcome.

St Petroc's is one of four churches in the Bodmin Team Ministry the others being St Hydroc's, Lanhydrock, Lanivet [dedication unknown] and St Stephen's, Nanstallon

MARRIAGES are held in each of the churches in the Team.

Most weddings take place on Saturdays. Couples are encouraged to make arrangements for weddings at our weekly surgery, which takes place every Thursday between 6.00 pm and 7.00 pm at the Team Office, St Petroc’s Rectory, Priory Road, Bodmin. No appointment is necessary.

The Team arranges an evening of marriage preparation which couples are encouraged to attend. Additionally the priest taking the service will conduct a rehearsal with the couple and if required meet to discuss additional details of the wedding.

There are legal restrictions as to whom we may marry. Either one or both persons must reside in the parish, or at least one of their parents must reside in the parish, or they must convince the Archbishop of Canterbury's Registrar that they have sufficiently strong connections with the parish for him to give permission. Alternatively one of the couple has to be registered on the Church Electoral Roll. These options can be discussed with the Team Rector either on a Thursday evening or by making an appointment through the Team Office to meet at a mutually convenient time.

It is possible to arrange for a church service of thanksgiving and dedication of a civil marriage, when permission for a church wedding is not granted.

Where some-one is divorced and their former partner is still living, then the Team Rector is happy to meet and discuss the circumstances, advising accordingly.

For further details, either come to the Team Office, St Petroc’s Rectory, Priory Road, Bodmin on any Thursday between 6.00 pm amd 7.00 pm or telephone 0120873867 or email: Bodmin.teamministry@gmail.com to make an appointment to see the Team Rector, The Revd Canon Graham Minors.
