If only we could profile all 165 parishes in the diocese, you'd see what a wealth of energy, service, love, worship, history, and vigor there is in this place! As it is, we could only choose a small group of parishes—although in their locations, histories, emphases, and outreach each is different from the other. In sum, they will give you an idea of the richness and diversity of the Diocese of New Jersey.

Here are the questions we asked each parish rector or vicar to answer:

• Founded ?
• Current rector? 
• Number of parishioners? 
• Choose three words to describe the parish
• Why should someone visit your church? Imagine you only have three minutes to answer. 
• Accomplishment you’re proud of?
• What do you see as a key event in the parish's history? 
• Greatest challenge ?
• If you had to choose one hymn as your church's theme, what would it be? 

The responses are fascinating. Enjoy your visits!
