Prior to Booking a Reception Venue: Contact the Parish Office at least one year in advance of the wedding date to allow for proper pre-marital preparation.
Parishioners: Registerd, active parishioners for at least 6 months prior to booking the Church (not prior to the wedding itself). Contact the Parish Office/Pastor at 973-827-9575 to begin the Marriage Preparation Process. If you wish to request a celebrant other than the Pastor, please have him contact the Pastor to request permission. If he is not a priest of the Paterson Diocese, a letter of good standing from his Bishop or Provincial is required. The celebrant will also be responsible for all Marriage Preparation as required by the Paterson Diocese.
Non-Parishioners: May utilize Immaculate Conception Church provided they have a priest to complete all Marriage Preparation required by the Paterson Diocese as well as officiate. Prior to booking the Church, the celebrant must confirm with Immaculate Conception Parish in writing that he will complete all preparation and officiate. He must contact the Pastor to request permission. If he is not a priest of the Paterson Diocese, a letter of good standing is required from his Bishop or Provincial. When all required documentation is received, the Church can be reserved.
