St. Vincent's prides itself on the care and attention it gives to couples contemplating marriage. The parish offers engaged couples a very highly regarded Marriage Preparation Program (Pre-Cana) that is designed to meet the needs of each couple. Parish Couples along with our priests and pastoral staff, direct this program, which takes place in the parish center. Couples preparing for marriage are helped to deepen their relationship with one another, to strengthen their communication skills, to grow in their understanding of married life, and to strengthen their relationship with Christ and His Church.

Couples wishing to enter the Sacrament of Marriage should contact or email Maribeth Kenworthy at 973 377 4000 ext 106 prior to the wedding.

There are two programs that can help you prepare for your marriage within the Catholic Church.

Pre Cana:

St Vincent Martyr offers  God's Plan for a Joy-filled Marriage and Life Skills for a Joyfilled Marriage for engaged couples twice a year in the Fall and in the Spring.  The session is held over a weekend and registration is required.

Our Pre-Cana Dates - 2019-2020

We are happy to work with you to help you prepare for this important sacrament in your life and the life of the Church.
