Even a pandemic can't stop Alleluia Fund support

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, The Alleluia Fund for Outreach was able to make grants totaling $145,000 to 28 nonprofits across northern New Jersey and internationally.

Diocesan Council approved the grants at their December 9, 2020 meeting.
