Bishop Hughes will rely primarily on the recommendation of the priests of our diocese in making judgments under the provisions of Title I, Canon 19, Section 3.
At least 30 days before the wedding, complete and submit an online request.
After the wedding, please complete and return the Solemnization of Remarriage of Persons Previously Married (“View Document” button) to the Bishop’s executive assistant, Chloe Caprice, by mail to the Episcopal House of Newark.
In situations where one or both persons have been divorced two or more times, unless the priest is a trained counselor or therapist, Bishop Hughes asks that you refer the couple to such trained persons for pre-marital counseling.
