Welcome to the Catholic Community of Saint Charles Borromeo.

     It has been my privilege to serve as pastor of this parish since 1989. Our parish, which was founded in 1982, was the first parish formed in the Diocese of Metuchen when it was created. In the years since, our parish has grown from a small rural community to a suburban parish of nearly 2000 families.

      Our community of faith embraces its Catholic identity, and while embracing the great traditions of the Church, find new and vibrant ways to live our faith. Our weekly celebration of the Eucharist is the center of who we are; for that reason we are committed to gathering each week prayerfully and joyfully. Our programs and ministries of formation, justice and peace, spiritual and community life seek to help members of our parish grow in their Catholic identity.

      All are welcome here at St. Charles Borromeo. We want to know your story as you get to know ours.

     Our Welcome Ministry personally reaches out to new parishioners, not only letting them know about the parish, but inviting new parishioners to share their gifts and talents. And our staff is always ready to answer your questions or stand with you in your need.

      Saint Charles Borromeo was a significant saint of the 16^th century. As Archbishop of Milan he stood with the sick and poor, had a deep spiritual life and was dedicated to the religious formation of young people. He once wrote that followers of Christ should live in such a way, that “all you do will become a work of love.”

    Join us in the work of Jesus—the work of the Church—which is always the work of love.
