On October 24th we held our Annual Outdoor Memorial Mass remembering those who we have recently lost at the Department for Persons with Disabilities Wiegand Farm in Oak Ridge.

The Catholic Climate Covenant recently awarded 2 grants for Catholic Charities Food Pantries to purchase reusable shopping bags and carts. We thank them for all they do for humanity and the environment.

We have launched a new program to help our homeless find permanent housing. The Travel Benefit Initiative is a collaboration with multiple agencies to transport our homeless to their new homes.

On behalf of Bishop Kevin Sweeney, the Catholic Charities Board of Trustees, and the Catholic Charities Executive Team, we would like to thank all of our dedicated employees who have gone above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Their kindness, bravery, and love have allowed us to assist more people than any time in our history.

Over 1,000,000 people are food insecure in New Jersey. Nonprofit organizations like Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson, are there to answer the call of those in need.
