Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! 

 

The Church of the Little Flower extends a sincere welcome to you as you enter into the Sacrament of Matrimony. We are privileged to be part of this sacramental occasion with you. We pray that the grace of God that has brought you to this point of engagement will continue to guide you through your preparations and each day of your married lives.

In our Catholic Christian faith, “the Sacrament of Marriage signifies the union of Christ and the Church. It gives spouses the grace to love each other with the love with which Christ has loved his Church; the grace of the sacrament thus perfects the human love of the spouses, strengthens their indissoluble unity, and sanctifies them on the way to eternal life.” (cf. Council of Trent: DS 1799)

 

Please contact the parish office to schedule a date and time for your wedding. The Catholic Church in New Jersey asks that the wedding date be set at least one full year in advance so that all necessary requirements can be fulfilled.
