Thanks, again, to The Beacon!

Once again, we are grateful to everyone at The Beacon, the award-winning newspaper of the Diocese of Paterson, NJ, for its coverage of the Passaic Neighborhood Center for Women.  This article by Cecile Pagliarulo in the April 20 edition is a reminder of the debt of gratitude we owe to the Partners in Faith donors.  Without your generosity, our ministry could not exist.  Thank you!

Happy Easter

We hope that your Easter season has been a blessed one thus far.  In the spirit of the season, we are sharing with you an article by Sister Ann Marie from Global Sisters Report, "Turning Toward Jesus with Mary of Magdala."  Click here to access the article.

The Garden's Fourth Season Begins!

We are happy to announce that we have received a grant to begin our fourth season of gardening.  We are so grateful to everyone at City Green and to the Passaic County Board of Chosen Freeholders for continuing the DigIn! program which provides our grants.  We are proud to continue as a member of the DigIn! Community Garden Network.  Here are some photos from last evening's grant presentation ceremony:

Women's Conference in the Beacon

Once again we are grateful to The Beacon, the award-winning newspaper of the Diocese of Paterson, NJ, for its coverage of last Saturday's Women's Conference at St. Paul Inside the Walls. Click here to access Michael Wojcik's  article on the Conference in this week's Beacon.

Women's Conference

We are grateful to everyone at St. Paul Inside the Walls for their efforts in bringing us a wonderful Diocesan Women's Conference, attended by about 250 women.  As you know, we were also able to offer our women's handcrafted items for sale at the conference.  Here are some photos to mark the occasion.

Sister Elaine Maguire, FSP, Associate Director of the Center
and Sister Eleanor Goekler, longtime supporter and Monday
English teacher, await the crowds who will buy our women's quilted
and crocheted items.

The crowd of over 250 women listens attentively to one of the speakers.
