Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson provides services to people in need, advocates for justice in social structures and calls the entire church and other people of good will to do the same.

We operate over 70 programs for people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the Diocese of Paterson and beyond and provide help and create hope for thousands of people each day.  

Staff and volunteers from our 3 agencies: Straight and Narrow, the Department for Persons with Disabilities, and Catholic Family and Community Services work tirelessly to help those most in need.

We have made the difficult decision to cancel all of our major in-person, indoor events throughout the rest of 2021, including our Caritas Gala. The safety of our service recipients, staff members, and benefactors is of our utmost priority.

In 2021, we have shifted our beloved Caritas Gala to a virtual event, which will consist of a video production highlighting our history, important ministry and Caritas Samaritans. We are looking forward to bringing this event back live in 2022.
