Gratefully Remembering the Past
"This year dedicated to consecrated life has been prepared in the context of the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council and, more specifically, on the 50th anniversary of the publication of the conciliar decree on the renewal of consecrated life 'Perfectae caritatis'. ...Because we recognize these 50 years that separate us from the Council as a moment of grace for consecrated life, as marked by the presence of the Spirit that leads us to live even our weaknesses and infidelities as an experience of God's mercy and love, we want this Year to be an occasion for 'gratefully remembering' this recent past.
This is the first objective of the Year for Consecrated Life."
(Cardinal Joao Braz de Aviz, prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life)
Since its founding in 1853, the Archdiocese of Newark has been home to a myriad of Religious orders and congregations of men and women who have served with love, commitment, and selflessness. In this section, we look back at the founders and foundresses of the communities now serving in our Archdiocese. We also take a look at the history of religious life in the Archdiocese.
