The seven sacraments are encounters with Christ that mark the most important moments of our lives. Through these sacred signs, we receive the grace of God and are drawn deeper into the life of the Church.
Baptism celebrates a baby’s entrance into the Church, becoming adopted children of the God, our Father. Our faith community and parents make a commitment to care for and teach this child as they are raised in the Catholic faith.
Please call our receptionist, Marielena Bula at 908-232-1214, to set up a call with our Baptism Coordinator - Tracey Sowa, to discuss Baptism for your child.

Confirmation deepens our the gift of grace we received when we were baptized. Through Confirmation our personal relationship with Jesus Christ grows. During Confirmation, we are blessed by the Holy Spirit with 7 gifts: wisdom, understanding, knowledge, right judgement, courage, reverence and wonder and awe, to help us become the best versions of ourselves and help bring Christ's message to the world.
Adults seeking Confirmation are invited to join OCIA.
The Vocation of Marriage is the divine call to show the love of God for the world in the love of husband and wife for each other. The bride and the groom at the wedding are themselves the “ministers” of this sacrament. For Roman Catholics, a priest or deacon must witness the marriage with two other witnesses.
The couple should contact the church office one year before the proposed date of the wedding, and before finalizing plans for their wedding reception to ensure the church is available on their desired date. This will also allow enough time for the marriage preparation program.
For more information contact Marielle Brown the parish office at (908) 232-1214 x114.
The Catholic Church is blessed to have the service of numerous dedicated priests. The Sacrament of Holy Orders celebrates the ordination of men as bishops, priests, and deacons.
To speak to someone about a vocation to the Priesthood, Diaconate or Religious Life, please call the Vocations Office at (973) 313-6190, visit the Vocations Website or speak to any of the parish staff.
Sickness of the body affects our emotional and spiritual well being. Through the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, one of the two Sacraments of Healing, Jesus Christ brings healing – physical and spiritual – to those who are seriously ill. A Mass of Anointing is held at Saint Helen in the Fall each year.
For additional information, please contact our Parish Center (908) 232-1214
