To provide a safe and accessible space where issues related to social justice and elimination of poverty in NJ can be seriously and respectfully considered.

Our Vision

Provide an engaging forum grounded in scripture that will educate, inspire and energize all stakeholders for active engagement of building and equipping the Beloved Community by addressing the root causes of poverty and injustice.

Our Values

A network of parishioners, concerned citizens, religious and civic leaders meeting together, sharing ideas, information, and best
