St. Maria Goretti Parish was established on June 4, 2012.  The parish was created by the merger of St. Lawrence O’Toole Parish, Garfield and Immaculate Conception-Saint Joseph Parish, Bloomfield. The merger occured as a result of extensive study over several years involving local church leadership, parishioners, diocesan officials and consultative bodies. It is currently served by two church buildings: Immaculate Conception (at the site of the former St. Maria Goretti School) and St. Joseph's Church (Bloomfield).
