Baptism 

“On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him.” (Mc. 1:10)
 
When you are baptized, an alliance, covenant or contract with God is established. In other words, you enter into a more beautiful and profound relationship that the human being can have with God the Father. If you have children not baptized yet, below you will find our schedule and requirements so that they can receive such a powerful sacrament.

 
If you are an adult, then your way to receiving the Holy Baptism is through the R.C.I.A process. 

Reconciliation (Confession)

“And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ and given us the ministry of reconciliation”  (2 Cor. 5:18)

What is reconciliation?

It is the way that God uses to restore us, if for any reason, we have decided to be away from his love.

If you cannot come to Confession on the hours listed, please call the Parish Office to make an appointment 973 538 0874

The Eucharist 

 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven” (Jn. 6:51)
 

The Eucharist is the sacrament where the Church takes strength to fulfill its mission on Earth. Jesus himself becomes present for us in the bread and wine. The Holy Spirt, through the priest, transforms them into the body and blood of Christ. 

Therefore, here at Saint Margaret, the Eucharist is the center of our life.

First Communion

Our preparation for the First Communion program is for children between first through eighth grade. Please note that our program begins in September and ends in May. If you have any questions, please call or email the parish office.

Confirmation (7th, 8th & 9th grade)

“And they were all filled with the holy Spirit” (Ac. 2:4)
 
We are convinced that the Holy Spirit grants us all the ability to respond to the challenges that arise within our faith. Through the sacrament of Confirmation you will receive God’s power to become his witness.

 
Our Confirmation classes are on Saturdays for 2 School years. Our program begins in September and ends in June. Registrations are in July and August. We will announce enrollment time at the Masses or call the Office 973 538 0874
