For us, Christ is everything. We begin in each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the needs of those who ask our help, with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him!
