How Shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me? Psalm 116:12

Each year millions of Americans support their favorite chaities with a donation. In today’s environment, these gifts are even more critical in helping fund the spiritual and charitable work of our parishes, Catholic Charities agencies and other ministries found within the Diocese of Paterson as well as to help continue the tradition of excellence in education that is offered through our Catholic schools. Many have found that time spent considering the best ways to structure their gifts can help them make meaningful contributions to help their fellow brothers and sisters in need while meeting personal planning goals as well.
