FORWARD IN FAITH TOGETHER seeks to ensure that we will thrive as a community of missionary disciples, companions of our Risen Lord.

“Serving God's People"

As missionary disciples, we seek to answer the Lord's call each day. Christian stewardship is one way we can respond to the Lord's call, as well as, assist our local Church in serving those entrusted to her physical and spiritual care. Through the Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal, the Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Newark comes together in support of ministries and programs which provide social, educational, and spiritual support throughout Essex, Bergen, Hudson, and Union counties.

We hope you will join us again in support of this important effort.

Peace & Blessing, Fr. Leo
