For over a decade, the Alleluia Fund for Outreach has been helping some of the most vulnerable among us. Thanks to the generous financial support of many individuals across the diocese, as well as congregational support and funds specifically allocated to outreach in the diocesan budget, this year the Alleluia Fund was able to make grants totaling $155,000 to 30 nonprofits across northern New Jersey and internationally.
With these funds, our Alleluia Fund partners will assist many of the most vulnerable of God's people in our diocese, all year long.
