Parish Mission Statement
What We BelieveSt. Mary’s-Stony Hill is a Roman Catholic parish that is rooted in our sacramental life and the vast traditions of the Catholic Church. First and foremost, our parish life centers on the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist. The grace received from Eucharist enables us to function in our mission as a parish community. Our mission as a parish encompasses parishioners of all ages.
We strive to be a place where our parishioners feel a sense of welcome and a place to have their faith nurtured through the various ministerial opportunities that occur throughout the year.

ServiceworX: Our Youth in Action
St. Mary-Stony Hill hosted the Center for Faith Justice’s weeklong summer middle school stewardship experience, ServiceworX, the week of June 27th. Eleven of our 7th and 8th graders attended to complete their stewardship for Confirmation preparation. The students visited service sites in the morning and then met together in the afternoon to pray and discuss Catholic Social Teaching. Among the activities the students participated in were at a food bank; made lunches and assembled meals to be cooked by the homeless; weeded giving gardens and a Church; helped clean and organized programming projects at St. Mary-Stony Hill and Renew International.

Diocese Responds to the “McCarrick” Report
Like Catholic dioceses across the nation and even around the world, the Diocese of Metuchen eagerly awaited the release of the Holy See’s findings of its investigation into disgraced former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, founding bishop of this diocese. The report has now been published by the Holy See.
The Diocese of Metuchen’s detailed response to the report, including: a letter from Bishop Checchio; the findings of the investigation into the Diocese of Metuchen’s files regarding McCarrick; and other information about the significant steps taken to ensure the protection of minors and to ensure the crimes and sins of the past cannot be repeated, can be found at: diometuchen.org/healing.
