PARISH MISSION

T o be a community of love, a family, that joyfully proclaims and bears witness to the Gospel, and that serves the poor and one another.


PARISH VISION

Christ the Redeemer Parish in Manville, N.J., is one in faith, mission, and spirit. We are home to a diverse, yet tightly knit, Catholic community, including a special apostolate for area Catholics of Polish descent. Following the example of Christ the Redeemer, we welcome everyone who seeks love, comfort and healing especially the poor, sick, lonely, and needy in our area.

Nourished by the Holy Eucharist and the Word of God, we foster Catholic education and formation through parish religious education programs.

In the spirit of the New Evangelization, we honor the rich traditions and unique histories that have brought us together, reaching out to our brothers and sisters with renewed structure, methods, expression, and dialogue.

Certain that all we have is from God, we embrace the values of Catholic Stewardship and encourage the ongoing exchanges of God’s gifts and talents to ensure a healthy, strong, multi-faceted, and fiscally thriving community.

Above all, we serve as one body, in Jesus Christ the Redeemer, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and guided by the Holy Spirit.
