It is one of over 200 Coptic Orthodox Churches in the United States. History Coptic Orthodox Christians, who adhere to an ancient Christian faith rooted in Egypt in the first century, have established a stronghold throughout New Jersey over the last several decades. The first Coptic Orthodox Church in the United States was St. Mark’s in Jersey City, which was founded in 1970 by Egyptian immigrants, and the congregations have since grown in allowing 15 other parishes in New Jersey alone, including St. Mark's Church in the same region of Jersey City. The large influx of Copts in New Jersey can be attributed to their persecution in Egypt, in addition to those who emigrate seeking education and financial opportunities. Currently, there are more than 30,000 Copts in Jersey City specifically. St. George & St. Shenouda Church was first founded in 1973, although the actual date of incorporation was January 1974. Priests Fr. David Bebawy - (201) 332-8369 Fr. Makarius Sawirus - (201) 332-8369 Fr. Anthony Basily - (201) 332-8369 Fr. Thomas Nashed - (201) 332-8369 Fr. David Habib - (201) 332-8369 Fr. John Ibrahim - (201) 332-8369 Expansion The year 1977 marked the first pastoral visit by Pope Shenouda III to the US and Canada, including both of Jersey City's two oldest churches (the only ones at the time). There are currently about 1500 Coptic families served by St. George & St. Shenouda Church alone with several others belonging to different church congregations throughout northern New Jersey in particular.

St. Henry's Church (Bayonne, New Jersey)

St. Henry's Church is a Roman Catholic church on Avenue C between 28th.and 29th. Street in Bayonne, New Jersey. The parish was founded in 1889 by 50 German immigrant families from Bavaria and was named after Emperor Henry II of the Holy Roman Empire. It is one of the first Catholic parishes in Bayonne and is part of the Archdiocese of Newark. Description The first building of the church, a wooden structure, was built in 1890 on the northeast corner of Avenue D (now Broadway) and 26th Street (site of the current Bayonne Post Office). The first pastor was the Reverend Alois Heller. St. Henry's merged with St. Thomas' Church when St. Thomas's Church closed in 1892. This caused a controversy in Bayonne over what language should be spoken at masses to the congregation. It was decided by Bishop Wigger in favor of the German-Catholics. Construction of the current English Gothic style church, designed by architect Thomas Henry Poole, began in 1911, and was patterned after Durham Cathedral in England. The design of the church is cruciform or cross-shaped similar to most medieval churches of Europe. The building exterior is made of limestone from Bedford, Indiana. The ground was broken for the new church by Fr. Peter E. Reilly on June 17, 1911, and the cornerstone was laid by Bishop O'Connor on September 15, 1912. The new church was dedicated on May 30, 1915. After the death of Fr. Reilly in 1919, Fr. Michael Mulligan took over the parish. He bought a pulpit of carrara marble for $4,000. Later, he bought an old school building from Bayonne and opened the St. Henry's Grammar School (since closed). Monsignor Mulligan (he had been elevated to the Monsignorate in 1954) retired in 1966 and died the following year (1967). Fr. Charles J. Covert took over the parish and immediately modernized the facility at a cost of $550,000 with an additional $150,000 for the school. Fr. Covert died in 1979. The interior of St. Henry's includes a Botticino marble main altar which was imported from Pietrasanta, Italy, a pulpit of carrara marble and the 28 foot high baldachino made of oak from the Balkans, lindenwood from Bavaria and local pine which, along with the screen behind the altar, were made in Urtijëi, Italy. Over 30,000 pieces of goldleaf were used in the gilding. During the church renovations done from 1968 to 1969, the plain windows were replaced with stained glass windows, done in 11th century Byzantine style, including one of Pope John XXIII. These were created by Simon Berasaluce, who has been called "a modern master with a medieval touch". The current pastor of St. Henry's Church is Rev. Raul Gaviola.

St. James Catholic Church (Woodbridge, New Jersey)

St. James Catholic Church is located in Woodbridge, New Jersey. With approximately 4,000 registered families, St. James is one of the largest parishes in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. History St. James was founded in the village of Woodbridge in 1860, however Mass was celebrated in households. In 1865, the a small wooden chapel was built on the south side of Main Street. St. James soon became a mission of St. Mary's in Perth Amboy. In 1877, Woodbridge received its first resident pastor, Fr. Stephen Berteloni, who served until his death four years later. Fr. James F. Devine was appointed the new pastor of St. James. Fr. Devine laid the cornerstone of a new wooden church in 1887. The church was consecrated in 1888, and on this occasion, the church was officially dedicated to St. James the Less. Fr. Devine also invited the Sisters of Mercy from Bordentown, New Jersey to start St. James School, which was to be housed in the old converted chapel. In 1918, Fr. Richard Farrell was appointed pastor. Fr Farrell made many changes to St. James, the largest of which was the moving of the church building by tractor to Amboy Avenue. Fr. Charles McCorristin was appointed pastor in 1937, and Monsignor in 1948. Due to the continuous growth of the parish, Msgr McCorristin oversaw an addition to the school as well as a campaign to build a new church. After the death of Msgr McCorristin in 1966, Msgr. Maurice Griffin held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new church. The old church was demolished April 1968 and the new church was dedicated June 23, 1968. The new St. James was built of Pennsylvania limestone, in the Neo-Romanesque style. The church can seat 1,200 people, nearly twice that of the second parish church. The imposing edifice is at the corner of Main Street and Amboy Avenue (Route 25) and is the most imposing structure in downtown Woodbridge. Throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s the New Parish Building underwent many changes. The simple sanctuary was repainted and new fixtures introduced. In 1995, St. James welcomed a community of Vietnamese immigrants into the parish. This community was active in the parish and ministers to about 400 families. The Vietnamese community was asked to move to a smaller church, Our Lady of Czestochowa Church in South Plainfield, NJ. The Parish community celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2010 and will celebrate its 165th in 2025. Along with the Church, the parish operates an elementary school, food pantry and a cemetery.

St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church Rectory and School

St. Joseph Plaza is an event venue in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, which formerly served St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, a parish of the Archdiocese of Newark of the Roman Catholic Church. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 1980, for its significance in architecture and religion. Architecture The church was a traditional Gothic Revival brownstone church, with a tall central nave flanked by lower aisles and transepts, oriented with the apse facing east and the three entrance doors facing west, one for each aisle and another along the nave. The nave has a steep slate gable roof. The front façade is asymmetrical, with a square bell tower with flat top on one side. The interior was extensively renovated in the early 1980s, but the exterior, having been registered as a landmark, remained unchanged. History The congregation was established in 1859 by James Roosevelt Bayley, first bishop of Newark. The construction of the Morris Canal had bisected the parish of St. Patrick's Pro-Cathedral, and also attracted Catholic immigrant workers to the area, necessitating a new worship space. A two-story brick building was built to serve as the parish's church and school. Fr. James F. Dalton was named its first pastor in 1868, and a stone he had brought back from Glendalough, Ireland was laid as the cornerstone for a new stone church on Thanksgiving Day in 1872. Irish-American architect Jeremiah O'Rourke designed the new church in the Gothic Revival style. Construction was repeatedly delayed, and it was not dedicated until April 18, 1880. A 3-story brick rectory was built in 1885. St. Joseph's School, a 4-story brick building, was constructed north of the church in 1894. The neighborhood was depopulated by urban renewal projects which cleared out residential areas and saw the expansion of neighboring university campuses, and by white flight after the 1967 Newark riots, accelerating a post-World War II decline in enrollments as parishioners decamped for the suburbs. The congregation had declined to about 30 when the archdiocese closed the parish in 1980, the same year the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places. A local housing non-profit, the New Community Corporation, acquired the complex for $105,000 shortly thereafter and began redeveloping it. The church was converted into a restaurant, offices, and performance space, and the rectory into commercial offices; the school building was demolished for parking. It was New Community's first commercial office venture. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Essex County, New Jersey References

St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral (Camden, New Jersey)

St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral is a Catholic parish located on the east side of Camden, New Jersey, United States. It serves as the pro-cathedral of the Diocese of Camden. It is one of two parishes in the city of Camden to be named St. Joseph. The other one is St. Joseph Polish Catholic Church, which was established in 1891. History The parish began as a mission station in the early 1890s and was served by the Franciscans from Sts. Peter and Paul Church. The mission was started in what was known as the Boyce residence on Cooper Street, now 27th Street, in the town of Stockton. The first Mass was celebrated on February 7, 1892 in Wright’s Hall on Marlton Pike, near Federal Street. The parish itself was established the following year. The resolution to build a new church was passed on April 20, 1893 and John D’Arcy of Camden was chosen as the architect. It was built on the corner of North 25th and Howell Streets and was dedicated on December 16, 1893. The Rev. Alphonse Lehrscholl was assigned to be the first pastor. The church was damaged in a fire in October 1915 and was repaired. The building was abandoned in 1929 when the present school building was erected on Westfield Avenue, and it was torn down ten years later after it was declared a fire hazard. The present church was built in the Modern architectural style in 1952. The property had been the site of St. Patrick’s Cemetery. It was declared a pro-cathedral as the main cathedral downtown, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, is rather small in size. On March 24, 1998 Romero Center Ministries was founded in the former convent. The founding date was the 18th anniversary of the assassination of El Salvador’s Archbishop Óscar Romero. It serves as an urban retreat center that focuses on service to the poor. Bishop Joseph Galante announced on April 4, 2008 that St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral would merge with St. Cecilia Parish in Pennsauken and St. Veronica Parish in Delair. St. Joseph's would have been the main worship site. However, the proposed merger did not take place and Saint Joseph Pro-Cathedral remained a "stand alone" parish.
