Let’s Put Our Faith into Action

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we share God’s mission of reconciliation, compelling us to change whatever causes the oppression.

Significant challenges and inequities have grown more obvious against the backdrop of COVID-19:

– 1.2 + million people are food insecure in NJ.
– Almost 400,000 of them are children.
– 300,000 + NJ residents are facing evictions at the end of the moratorium.

Your generous support will guarantee our Diocese the ability to expand our ministries across New Jersey in order to better address the needs of society. With your support, we will stand up for social justice and overcome the bonds of racism.

All this is possible if we work together! ECS-NJ will strengthen our ability to focus in a united and coordinated way. Become a Founding Member today by making a sacrificial gift or pledge.
