Faith Formation

Faith formation is a lifelong journey, and on this page you will find ways to engage that journey within the Catholic Church, right here in Jersey City and Hudson County. We have resources offered at St. Aedan's as well as resources, links, and updates from the Archdiocese of Newark's Office for Lifelong Faith Formation.

If you have general inquiries about any of the resources below, you can contact our Parish Center team during our business hours (Tues - Friday 10am - 4pm) at (201) 433-6800, via email at Office@StAedans.org, or by stopping by to speak with one of our team members. Otherwise, please reach out directly to our team members directly, using the information and links below.
