Heritage
tour aims to highlight beauty of Archdiocesan churches
How
often have we gone to Mass and wondered about a particular figure
or symbol in a stained-glass window, a biblical scene depicted
in a mosaic, or an element of a church’s architectural style
and design?
From narthex to sanctuary, transepts to nave, from copper roofs
to bronze doors, the churches of the Archdiocese of Newark are filled
with artistic splendors that we might nary notice.

A
journey toward the priesthood
By Matthew Dooley
“Seminary in September”… sounds like a movie or
song title—and a good one at that. However, there is no movie
script or song lyric to this title, just some thoughts from a 38-year-old

Filipino
Apostolate meets pastoral needs while preserving traditions of deeply
Catholic country
 |
Communion
at St. Aedan's |
By Liesl Fores
With more than 200,000 Asians living in the Archdiocese of Newark,
a large percentage of which are Filipino and overwhelmingly Catholic,
an apostolate to serve specific needs of the Filipino community
is essential.
Referring to canon law, Msgr. Jeremias R. Rebanal, J.C.D., Ph.D.,
coordinator of the Filipino Apostolate and pastor of St. Aedan Parish,
Jersey City, a hub for the Filipino community, remarked that the
apostolate is “the practical response of the Archbishop of
Newark to the pastoral needs of the Filipinos in the Archdiocese.”
He stressed that it is not a “separate entity,” but
an integral part of Church of Newark.
