MISSION STATEMENT

Guided by Christian values, the primary purpose is to benefit organizations serving the deserving and economically disadvantaged within the Paterson Diocese and specifically within the surrounding communities of the Parish.

OVERVIEW STATEMENT / DESCRIPTION

Through the generosity of a prior bequest, an initiative called “We Care/We Share” was launched in 2017 to support the Church’s current and future outreach programs. In establishing the initial “We Care/We Share” Fund, parishioners have pledged contributions which were then matched from interest generated from the bequest.
We need annual/ongoing doncations to keep this Fund operational.  Parishioners can be assured that every dollar donated will continue to be matched by the parish.

The Fund is used to serve organizations within the Paterson Diocese and particularly within the surrounding communities of the Parish. Organizations requesting funding must complete the Application for Funding Consideration. Submitted applications will be reviewed twice annually by the Outreach Endowment Advisory Board. Please reference the associated documents for details.

If you have any questions regarding this Outreach Fund and/or would like more information in order to contribute, please contact Sister Mary Joseph at the parish office at (973)539-4955 x 13.
