The parish is an important focus of Church because it is where Catholic families gather to witness to their faith and to build a community of believers who recognize that God acts in their parish. Since the time when our churches and schools were established, much has changed in our localities, our diocese and in our world.
As good stewards of God's gifts, it is vital that we follow the advice of Blessed John XXIII when he called Vatican Council II to read the "signs of the times." In the Church of South Jersey we continue to seek ways to be ever more fully a people of God, revealing the mind and heart of Jesus and developing the structures needed to do this.
