News - Diocesan Ministries Appeal RSS Feed

The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is now known as the Diocesan Ministries Appeal and this past weekend, the Appeal kicked off at Masses in parishes throughout the Diocese, giving the faithful once again the opportunity to support the good works of the Church of Paterson. Under the theme, “Love Thy Neighbor,” the Appeal invites parishioners to help fund ministries in the Diocese of Paterson.

Often called the “jewel of the Paterson Diocese” — the agencies of Diocesan Catholic Charities are the Church of Paterson’s visible example of being Christ to those most in need — the poor, the addicted and the disabled. The Catholic Charities network is vast, serving across three counties, and the scope of its ministries serve tens of thousands of people each year through its three agencies — Catholic Family and Community Services, Straight and Narrow and Department of Persons with Disabilities.
