To Receive the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony

The Parish celebrates the Sacrament of Matrimony for a man and woman, at least one of whom is registered in the parish.

 

To allow for premarital preparation, in conformity with the Common Policy of the New Jersey Catholic Conference, arrangements should be made one year in advance of the proposed marriage date.
