Matrimony is a covenant and partnership of life which is ordered to the well-being of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of children. When validly contracted between two baptized people, marriage is also a sacrament.
At least one of the parties must be registered and a practicing member of the parish. Please contact the Parish Office at (732)-329-2893 a minimum of one year prior to the proposed date of the wedding. This will provide time for the engaged couple to successfully complete an engaged encounter weekend or Pre-Cana session.
Typically, weddings are celebrated on Saturdays or Friday evenings. Because of the need to prepare the church and parking lot to celebrate our regular Saturday evening Mass at 5:00PM, weddings cannot be scheduled to start later than 2:30PM
Because of the special nature of Sunday as the Lord's Day, we do not celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage on Sundays at St. Cecilia Church.
