Archdiocese of Newark

We, The Church in the Archdiocese of Newark,

are Catholic Christians who recognize and acknowledge in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, the expression of the Father’s gift of love for all people. Empowered by the Spirit of the risen Christ, we are called, as individuals and as a community, to be living witnesses of Christ’s presence and His ongoing mission in our society.
(1 John 4:9:11)

We find our unity, meaning and purpose through sharing in the saving mission of Jesus Christ. Faithfulness to His total mission calls us to sacrifice and risk. Our response to this call within the Archdiocese of Newark takes on a threefold character:

– to teach and to witness the Word of God;
– to build community;
– to serve.
