Description

New Jerseys Gothic churches, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offer a medieval experience right in your backyard. The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark stands out with its towering spires and massive rose window. Other notable churches include St. Marys in Wharton, Trinity Church in Asbury Park, and St. Bernards Episcopal in Bernardsville. However, dwindling membership poses challenges for their upkeep. Despite this, New Jersey is seeing a resurgence, with a surprise increase in Catholic converts. These churches serve as free historical and artistic lessons, showcasing beauty and resilience.
