Matrimony

One of the Church's two "Service" Sacraments, Matrimony consecrates man and woman in a lasting bond of God's love and service to Him, one another, their children, and community.

Planning a wedding is a serious business involving much consideration for family and friends to ensure everything goes smoothly. We all want the ceremony and other aspects of the celebration to work together in harmony for all to enjoy the blessings of the day and the rich graces the Sacrament bestows on all.


Marriage is a Sacrament and must be celebrated within a Mass or a marriage ceremony in a Catholic Church or designated sacred space, officiated by a priest or deacon. To help ensure there is as little stress as possible and that the Sacrament of Matrimony is celebrated in the most respectful ways, arrangements with the parish are to be made at least ONE YEAR before the intended date. To schedule a church wedding, the bride or the groom must be a registered parish member.

Pre-Cana or Engaged Encounter requires an educational and inspirational experience for the engaged couple. Contact the pastor or any of the deacons for more information. You may also contact the office at 732-566-9334 or email us. [email protected]
