**NEW**
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation into law creating a new path for people over the age of 18 to apply for a “one-day designation”, authorizing them to solemnize a single marriage on a specified day in the State of New York. Application for a One-day Marriage Officiant License along with a $25 non-refundable fee must be submitted to the City Clerk’s Office when the couple applies for their marriage license. Note: applications must be submitted to the same office where the couple will obtain their marriage license.

Records for Saint Mary's Cemetery (Town of Geneva) and Saint Patrick's Cemetery are kept at the Our Lady of Peace Parish Offices - call 315-789-7180 for information.
