Our Lady of Grace R.C. Church:

Welcome to the church of Our Lady of Grace, one of the most deeply-rooted Roman Catholic parishes in the U.S. Explore our website and get to know the modern community behind one of the oldest and largest church’s in New Jersey.

As of January 2008, the churches of Our Lady of Grace and St. Joseph merged into one parish with two sites, at this time. This joint community is here to help you find peace in the busy Hoboken and Jersey City area, and to support you locally as you live your faith in an increasingly global society. We hope that you feel a part of this Catholic family we call a parish.

Please join us at one of our masses or activities to feel the mystery and the history at Our Lady of Grace & St. Joseph, and to witness the change and strength of our community.

HCA REGISTRATION

Hoboken Catholic Academy is accepting new student applications for grades preK-3 through 8th grades for the 2012-13 school year. The forms may be obtained on the school’s website www.hobokencatholic.org or in person at the school. Parishioners need a certification letter from the pastor. To be considered a "parishioner" a family is expected to be officially registered, worship regularly, and support the parish by using envelopes for at least six months. For more information, call the school at (201) 963-9535.

MINISTERS AT MASS
We are recruiting new lectors (to proclaim the Word during Mass) and Eucharistic ministers (to assist with Communion) and visitors of the sick (to bring Communion to homebound or nursing home residents). Increasing the number of ministers means that you may be assigned one Mass per month. We assign you to the Masses you normally attend or desire. We will gather you for two preparatory sessions in the near future. If you are interested, please e-mail Fr. Santora at padrealex@yahoo.com, or call him at the rectory or see him after Mass.
