Sacrament of Marriage

The common policy for marriage in all Catholic parishes of New Jersey requires couples to begin preparation at least 1 year prior to the planned wedding date. It is advisable for couples to contact the parish before any other arrangements are made for the wedding day.

Anointing of the Sick/
Visitation of the Sick

The Anointing of the Sick is available to seriously ill members of our parish at home or in hospital. Please call the Rectory to make arrangements. For legal reasons, many hospitals no longer inform parishes when a member is hospitalized; so please inform the Rectory that a hospitalized paritioner would like a parish visit.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is the Church’s process for adults and children 7 and older to prepare to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
