"We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord!"
St. Luke’s, Church of the Presentation and Guardian Angel parishes have begun the implementation process of the New Energies Partnership Program.
Weekly, in a collaborative effort, each parish’s bulletin will publish under the “New Energies” logo shown above, events open to parishioners of all three parishes.

The New Energies Parish Transition Project for the Archdiocese of Newark is inspired by the following six goals:
- * To enhance quality parish life, both territorial and national, throughout the Archdiocese.
- * To support increased understanding of and action on the 28 principles related to quality parish life in the areas of Spiritual Life, Educational & Formational Life, Service Life, Parish Community Life, Administrative Life, and Pastoral Life;
- * To strengthen the presence and ministry of the Church in urban and suburban areas;
- * To increase collaboration between and among leaders, parishes and the whole Archdiocese of Newark;
- * To act as good stewards of all human, financial and facility resources;
- * To build a greater sense of unity within the rich ethnic, cultural and age diversity present within the local Church.
The achievement of these desired outcomes will result in significant “new energies” within the Archdiocese of Newark as well as in the capacity of Catholic parishes and individual Catholics to move forward more confidently into the future.
