The Msgr. William Noé Field Archives & Special Collections Center is the repository for the sacramental records for many of the closed parishes in the Archdiocese of Newark comprising Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union Counties.
If the church in the Archdiocese of Newark is still open, you must contact that church to obtain your certificate. Please see the Archdiocese of Newark's Find a Parish page.
If the church where you received a sacrament has closed, it may have been merged with another parish, or the records may be housed at the Msgr. William Noé Field Archives and Special Collections Center. Please view the Closed Parishes tab to find the location of the records. If they are conserved at the Msgr. William Noé Field Archives and Special Collections Center, please visit the Submit a Request page.
