The impact and success of the Catholic Center at Rutgers is relational outreach to students, a distinct approach for college campus ministry. The staff includes religious from the Sisters of Jesus Our Hope and the Brotherhood of Hope, as well as, the Associate Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Metuchen and several interns. They are out on-campus meeting and interacting with students where they live their lives and also reach them using the tools of technology. Thanks to your gift to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, the Catholic Center offers a safe haven where students are able to grow in their knowledge and practice of the faith, experience a meaningful sense of service to the community, and come to a deeper understanding of their call to discipleship. To date, the diocese has received pledges totaling $162,655 (43.7%) and payments of $148,142 (39.8%) toward our $372,000 goal. Thank you for your support!
