CATHOLIC CHARITIES - DIOCESE OF PATERSON

As Catholic Charities, we labor in the streets inviting and serving those who have been left out to know and experience the tremendous and abundant love of God through Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves to break down walls of division that keep sisters and brothers separated from one another, excluded, or rendered disposable by our society. With joy, we resolve to build bridges of hope, mercy and justice toward the creation of a culture of communal care responsive to the cries of those who are poor.

NEW DESTINY FAMILY SUCCESS CENTER

Family Success Centers are “one-stop” shops that provide wrap-around resources and supports for families before they find themselves in crisis. Family Success Centers offer primary child abuse prevention services to families and bring together concerned community residents, leaders, and community agencies to address the problems that threaten the safety and stability of families and the community. There is no cost to access services provided by Family Success Centers (FSCs).

The Paterson Public Schools Full Service Community Center (FSCC) is located in the heart of Paterson’s fifth ward on the corner of Market Street and Madison Avenue. During the last two years, the center has become a relied-upon resource for the residents and parents in the area. The center attempts to support families by offering activities that increase communication between parents and teachers via English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, parenting classes, job skills training, mental health support, emergency food distribution and health clinic services. All of these efforts are based on the premise that when the family is supported, children are supported.
