Baptism & Marriage Preparation
Baptisms are each Sunday of the month at 12:00 noon. The Parish Office must
be contacted in advance.
The common policy for all the Dioceses of New Jersey requires a period of
preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage, which includes sessions with the
parish priest and attendance at either the Pre-Cana conferences or the
Engaged Encounter Weekend. Therefore, arrangements are to be made at the
Parish Office one year in advance, and before any social plans are
finalized.

Questions on the Faith Box
The goal of this Apostolate is to give parishioners and
adorers the opportunity to have their questions on the faith answered
anonymously and in an accurate manner. The answers are written by one of our
parishioners and reviewed by several priests. They are displayed on our
bulletin board in the back of the church. They are also placed in the
“Questions on the Faith Folder” by the Question box which is in the back of
the Church.
