General Information
Baptism
Baptism arrangements for dates and times are made through the rectory office and should be made well in advance. Sponsors are required to obtain a testimonial letter from their pastors indicating they are participating Catholics and have received the sacrament of Confirmation.
First Communion
Children in the 2nd grade Religious Education Program (both parish and public schools) celebrate First Eucharist during the Easter season. The children celebrate First Reconciliation in January/February. In as much as this is such an important step in the religious growth of our children, parents of children receiving First Holy Communion are asked to attend a sacramental preparation program that is presented by our Director of Religious Education.
Confirmation
The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the fall for children in the 8th grade Religious Education Program (both parish and public schools).
Marriage
According to the policy of the Diocese of Trenton, couples are requested to notify the rectory office at least one year in advance of their intent to marry. Couples are also required to attend a Pre-Cana Conference. Details will be provided by the rectory. IMPORTANT: weddings are celebrated Monday through Saturday only.
Anointing of the Sick
The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is meant not only for those who are at the point of death, but also for anyone who is seriously ill. To request the celebration of this sacrament, please contact the rectory office.
