Next Sunday is the in-pew pledge for the Bishops Annual Appeal. You will be

asked to make a pledge to the appeal. The appeal reaches all aspects of the

society of our diocese. Catholic Charities receives the largest portion of the

appeal. The branches of Catholic Charities are Hope House located in Dover,

which provides counseling, a repair service for seniors, food pantry, mothering

courses, cooking and inculturalization classes, Veteran Services, and housing

information. The site in Franklin offers counseling, a food pantry and thrift

shop, rent assistance, Veteran services and other programs. Paterson has three

pre-schools, a thrift shop, a food pantry, rent assistance, Senior Citizen Programs,

and ESL Legal Immigration assistance. Straight and Narrow located in Paterson

is the Drug and Alcohol abuse program offering rehab and housing. The Hispanic

Center in Passaic provides a combination of after school programs, food pantry,

counseling, Veterans Services and other family related programs. Then there is

the Department for Persons with Disabilities located in Oak Ridge which has

various satellite sites and group homes in the diocese.

Other programs that benefit from the appeal are seminary education, which is

graduate school level tuition. There is a need to educate a new level of cannon

lawyers and other specialized priests to serve in diocese as priests age. Another

is Nazareth Village the retirement home for the priests of the diocese and their

continued healthcare. And finally the Chancellery office which is the smallest

program funded, from which we benefit as a parish because the pastor has

diocesan duties.

Please help us in making our goal of $9,350, everything over that amount; the

parish receives 50% back. Thank you for your prayerful contribution.

God Bless, Fr. Rich
