About Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark

Tracing its roots to 1903, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark (CCAN) is the non-sectarian, not-for-profit social service corporation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey. The agency’s mission statement is as follows: Catholic Charities as a ministry of the Archdiocese of Newark participates in the Church’s social mission by recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of all people and responding with sincere Christian compassion to the corporeal needs of the poor and marginalized. The service of Catholic Charities is inspired by faith in Jesus Christ, Sacred Scripture, and the continuing exposition of Catholic social teaching. Through these activities, Catholic Charities strives to assist individuals in need, strengthen families, and provide those it serves with an experience of God’s mercy. This mission inspires us to pursue critical social goals: 1) To help feed the hungry and house the homeless; 2) To reach the isolated, the lonely and those with special needs; 3) To nurture the development of the young and strengthen relationships within families; 4) To assist the poor and the disabled to achieve economic participation; 5) To help immigrants attain the benefits of liberty in a new land; and, 6) To guide those in need to helpful community resources.
