Welcome to our Parish Website
May we be of help to you, as you check our website for information about our parish community. The data and information that you will find are not indicative of who or what we are. Technology may have lessened somehow our physical interactions, but has added a different layer to our personal relationships, as followers of Jesus, our Savior.
So, come and visit our Church here in Howell, New Jersey. Join us for our liturgies and sacraments. Say a prayer to St. Veronica, our Patroness. And, express your faith and your love as you use your time, develop your talent, and generously share from your resources.
God loves you always and in all ways! Rev. Peter James R. Alindogan
St. Veronica Parish Mission Statement
We, the Parish Family of Saint Veronica,
are called through Baptism to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in faith, hope and love.
We strive toward deeper conversion by active participation in the Eucharist
and by being good stewards to one another.
Through vibrant evangelization, a welcoming community and Spirit-led service
we continually challenge ourselves to bear the face of Jesus
like our patroness did as we journey together in unity,
to the glory and honor of God.
