Welcome to St. Edward Parish!
 
On behalf of all the parishioners, staff, teachers, and priests of St. Edward parish and school, I welcome you to our web page and parish.  We are located in the city of Newark, California, in the Diocese of Oakland.  We are a multicultural parish near Silicon Valley in the southern East Bay.
 
We strive to be a welcoming and growing community of disciples of the Gospel.  In these challenging times, our mission has not changed.  We labor to make Christ visible both in our prayer life and our witness within our families and community.  Our parish school hosts grades TK through 8th and we are always accepting new applications from families.  If you would like to visit the school or need more information please contact their office at 510-793-7242.

If you are new to our area, seeking a spiritual home, or maybe even curious about the Catholic Church, I invite you to visit our parish.  All are welcome!  Personally, if I can be of any assistance to you on your spiritual path, please do not hesitate to contact me at our parish office.
 
I wish you God’s blessings,
​
Fr. Mark Amaral, Pastor
