Dear members of our faith community, The Archdiocese of Newark has announced the release of our Synod on Synodality Synthesis Report, which captures the voices of more than 15,000 people across northern New Jersey. This effort is the local phase of Pope Francis’ two-year Synod on Synodality, a worldwide effort to discern how the Catholic Church can better engage with today’s faith communities. The archdiocesan report will be part of a consolidated U.S. report submitted to the Vatican for the Synod of Bishops in Rome in October.

WHY REGISTER?
Every Catholic should be registered in a parish. Beside the active support and involvement that the registration enables, the parish registration is also a mandatory condition for many sacraments including Baptism and Matrimony. *It is therefore important to register at your local parish as soon as you start worshiping there regularly.
You may request verification letters to sponsor individuals for sacraments,
receive sacraments yourself or your child (i.e. marriage, baptism).
You will receive end-of-the-year tax contribution statements.
The Archdiocese will know that our parish has a healthy base of registered,
supportive parishioners.
To register in the parish, please visit the Rectory or print out the
on our website, fill it out and return it to the rectory.
*You are not automatically registered if you made your Sacraments here as a child or went to the school.
While every attempt has been made to keep the new website menu the same & to keep content on familiar pages some things have moved.
Mass & Confession Schedule & Rectory Hours have been moved to the bottom of each page.
Have a suggestion for changes? Send email to webmaster@olpnp.com
As with any construction project, the site is being built a page at a time. If you are looking for something that is not yet on the new site, you can use the feedback form on the homepage - which will appear when you close this popup.
