The List of churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark covers the four counties of northeastern New Jersey: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union. As of the most recent official directory (accessed via the Archdiocese website in late 2025–early 2026), the archdiocese maintains a large number of parishes (historically around 200+, though exact current totals vary slightly due to prior mergers and ongoing planning). The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark serves as the mother church, with the Pro-Cathedral of St. Patrick also in Newark.[1]

The Archdiocese of Newark is currently engaged in the pastoral initiative "We Are His Witnesses", launched by Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., on Pentecost in June 2025. This synodal process addresses declining Mass attendance, sacramental participation, and priest availability through discernment and potential realignments (including mergers), with possible implementations beginning in 2027. As of January 2026, no final decisions on mergers or closures have been announced; the process remains in the listening and planning phase, with a unified pastoral plan expected by summer 2026. Thus, the list below reflects the structure as documented in sources up to mid-2025, but users should verify current status against the official directory, as changes may occur.[2][3]

This page organizes parishes primarily by county and city, drawing from established listings (including parish histories and merger notes). Many parishes reflect immigrant foundations (e.g., Italian, Polish, Irish, Portuguese) and have undergone mergers over time.

This is a list of churches in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. The archdiocese covers northeastern New Jersey in the United States. It includes the cities of Newark and Jersey City and the counties of Bergen, and Essex, Hudson, and Union.
