We’re thrilled to share some truly amazing news with you all. The Mental Health Association in New Jersey’s (MHANJ) contribution to the New Jersey Hope and Healing Crisis Counseling program has introduced new services, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable.🙌
This initiative has introduced a range of new resources that are aimed at providing immediate and lasting aid to individuals struggling with mental health crises. And we’re proud to announce that these services have already had a profound impact.
To date, 444 participants have been aided through the work of MHANJ, receiving the help they needed when they needed it the most. These individuals were able to access crucial support and begin their journey toward healing.
As we celebrate this achievement, we also look forward to continuing our work supporting MHANJ and 10 other partner agencies at the Holiday Fund. There are many more people who need support, and we’re committed to reaching them. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and bring hope to those in crisis.

A Celebration of Community and Service: The Annual Gala
Recently, Catholic Charities held its Annual Gala, a celebration of community, service, and the power of giving. The event was a resounding success, thanks to the contributions of sponsors, supporters, and attendees. The gala served as a reminder of the profound impact that Catholic Charities has on individuals and families across New Jersey.
During the evening, several partners were honored for their dedication and contributions to the organization. Among them was Scott Fields from Daybreak Express, SPRUCE Industries, Catholic Cemeteries, Ecclesia Ministries, and Holiday Express. Recognition was also given to Pierre Moreau, posthumously, with the Lifetime Achievement Award presented to his family. Patricia Tully and William Markey III were the recipients of the Spirit of the Heart Award. The night was made even more special with a fantastic performance by Chris Pinnella.
