"Christ is the reason for this school, the unseen but ever present teacher in its classes, the model of its faculty, the inspiration of its students."
The three key dimensions in the process of building our faith community at Newark Catholic are theology, spirituality, and service.
Theology - teaching the importance of learning about God and the things of God.
Spirituality - nurturing the experience and expression of an interpersonal relationship with God through liturgy, retreats, and prayer.
Service - promoting the loving response to other's needs. Service is part of the Junior year experience. Recycling, food and clothing drives are part of the school year service.
