Our family and friends are tremendously grateful to St. John's Baptist Church, Jersey City, N.J…read more and their pastor, Dr. Frances Snelling-Teabout for the overwhelming comfort, love, prayers, repast, sermon, support and visits that they showered upon us during the illness, passing, and Homegoing Celebration for our beloved love one, Sister Mary Louise Coleman - a faithful member of this church for more than fifty years. She loved St. John's and we could see the many reasons why. We witnessed true fellowship, harmony, genuine concern, love, and a delicious, home-cooked, mouth-watering meal. Thank each of you- whether you lighten our heavy burden of sorrow with a kind word about Sister " Mary Lou," smiled a warm smile, held our hands, or hugged our necks- all that was done was to the Glory of Glory and helped our hearts feel stronger. Pastor, the eulogy/message blessed our souls. Thanks again and again for everything! Love and Prayers, Brian Coleman, Kenneth Coleman, and Beverly Rogers- Mary's young adults and the entire family from near and far.

When I moved to downtown Jersey City three years ago, I chose St. Mary's to be my parish and it has…read morenow felt like a second home to me. What attracted me to become a parishioner at St. Mary's over other Catholic churches in the neighborhood was the incredibly diverse community. At Mass, there are so many different types of people attending, and I have always thought the parishioners really represent the neighborhood in a wonderful way. In December 2014, St. Mary's celebrated its 160th anniversary. From what I've experienced in the past three years since being a parishioner, the church has gone through an evolution and is continuing to do so in a good way. It was previously a part of the "Resurrection Parish" that comprised of five different churches downtown. Most recently it has become a standalone church due to the others closing or separating. Despite the changes, I think our pastor Fr. Helber, parochial vicar Fr. Eustace, deacons, and parish staff are doing a wonderful job bringing the community together and being extremely welcoming to those who are seeking to be closer to their Catholic faith. St. Mary's has English(8am, 12pm) and Spanish(10am) Masses on Sunday and throughout the week, as well as a Tagalog(9am) Mass on the 1st Sunday of the month. I usually attend Sunday's 12:00pm English mass, which has an awesome contemporary choir. In addition to the services, there are devotional groups to join and religious education classes for children. For the past few months I've been attending a weekly adult education class to learn more about Catholicism which has been pretty great. They also host other events such as retreats, parties, and festivals as well. If you're looking for a new parish to attend, please come and check out St. Mary's... and if you see me there please feel free to say hello! I think their motto wraps up things nicely. "Come and join us and create a Christ-centered community where strangers become friends and friends become family."

I usually go to Sunday 12 pm mass and the Priests who run the mass are fantastic. Their homilies are always inspirational and non-political (which I find it hard to find sometimes now a days.) The music is good and the choir is a little off sometimes, but overall they are very warm and welcoming. They are going to be doing restorations soon, so it seems like they are putting the donations to good use. I enjoy going to Sunday mass and St. Mary's makes it even better.

This former art gallery space is being utilized to showcase area artists on a rotating monthly basis, as well as a function hall for private events. They regularly host a community arts program called "Arts Beats" which encourages people to come out and paint and listen to live music. Their services are held every Sunday at 10am. I have not partook in their religious services, but have attended a number of their art shows over the last few months. The staff is very friendly, and happy to collaborate on arts programming. I love that they are bringing more art to the Powerhouse Arts District!
