St Teresa of Avila Parish is a welcoming Catholic Church that has been serving the Summit community for over 160 years.

In a 5-part bulletin series released weekly, Fr Bob shares his thoughts and reflections on the essential role of local parishes in the future of our Church - in light of the We Are His Witnesses process here in the Archdiocese of Newark.  First, a look at statistics and realities, followed by practical advice and pastoral insights on a strong path forward.  The series continues with a frank look at what keeps people away and ends with sharing concerns of the priests who serve.  Take a moment and read it ... and feel free to share your thoughts and reactions.
