"What God has joined, let no man put asunder" ˜Mark 10:9

THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY MATRIMONY

"The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament. ˜Catechism of the Catholic Church "

Arrangements must be made one year prior to the marriage date. To set the date couples must first meet with a parish priest or deacon. The Camden Diocese requires all couples attend a Pre-Cana seminar and complete a premarital survey called FOCCUS . Other requirements will be discussed with the clergy preparing the couple for the sacrament. Please call the Rectory at 856-456-0052 .
