Memorial Donations

During the period of mourning the death of a friend or family member, our need to express feelings of loss and sorrow is enormous - sometimes overwhelming. 

If it is in keeping with your personal feelings and customs, may we suggest a memorial donation to Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson, in the name of someone you loved?

When you give a memorial gift, you’ll be asked to provide the name and address for the person you’d like notified about your gift, as well as the name, city, and state of the person being honored.

An announcement will be sent to the person you request to be notified when you give a memorial gift using our safe and secure online form below.

With the help of kind people like you, we are able to help thousands of people in need each day.   

To give a tribute gift in honor of a special occasion, such as a birthday, wedding or anniversary please visit Tribute Giving.

Your memorial gift honors those who have died and continues the work of mercy of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson in their names.

All memorial donations are 100% tax-deductible and all family members of the deceased will be invited to an outdoor memorial mass in the fall. 

For more information about making a memorial donation please contact our Development Office at 973-944-5992. or at info@ccpaterson.org.
