Bishop's Annual Appeal

Stepping Forward in Faith: Grace in Action

Through your support of the Bishop’s Annual Appeal you help those in our diocese whose needs are the greatest  — the poor, the homeless, and those struggling with illness or grief.

Among other needed pastoral ministries, your gift also supports the formation of seminarians and enhances the work of campus ministry through the Catholic Center at Rutgers University.  

The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is a way to combine our resources to accomplish great things. Each person of our Diocese is invited to join us as we journey together with confidence and a renewed spirit, under the guidance of Our Virgin Mother of Guadalupe.

The many pastoral, educational and charitable ministries of the Diocese of Metuchen would not be possible without a generous contribution from every household.  Please be as generous as your means allow.

Your gift to the Bishop's Annual Appeal helps to ensure the continuation of our evangelization and catechesis programs.  Among many other vital needs, funds from the Appeal also help to form our seminarians, assist couples preparing for marriage, and provide basic necessities and counseling services for the poor and vulnerable.
