Our council has obtained authorization from Norwood Mayor & Council to do a 1 day fund drive at the street corner of Broadway and Livingston St. on Sat. April 29th (rain date May 6th). Many other councils do their drive in this manner and are very successful in collecting thousands of dollars !!
Most important I want every member to know that no one will stand in the street during our drive. Members will stand on the sidewalk at the street corner and only collect from passenger windows while cars are stopped at red lights – so it will be completely safe for any member to help in this worthy cause. We are using the collection baskets.
Our hope is to work from 8am — 6pm, if we have enough volunteers. We can use up to 4 men per shift, so even if you can only help for 1 hour, please try to help us make this a success!!
Meeting starts at 8pm
Refreshments at 6:30 PM.

VIVAT JESUS!
In conjunction with the schedule of His Eminence Cardinal Tobin and finding a venue where we can all meet comfortably, a solid date for the Archdiocesan PIP dinner is set for October 11, 2023, at “The Grove”, located in Cedar Grove, NJ. Yes, this is a change of venue, but I fully expect a similar positive response from all of you! It is Columbus Day so there is another reason to be proactive in securing a table that evening.
It is a great honor to invite you, your local priests and Chaplains, and your council members to our Fifteenth Annual Pride in Our Priest Dinner.
Please join us on:
Venue: The Grove
691 Pompton Ave.
Cedar Grove New Jersey 07009
Time: 6:00 PM – Cocktail Hour; 7:00PM – Dinner
Cost: $70.00 per person
Please start planning now to join Cardinal Tobin, Bishops Cruz, Saporito, Studerus and Lorenzo, Flesey, and all our archdiocesan priests and the State Officers (who pay for the evening) at our dinner. As always, family and friends are certainly welcome. If there are any questions, please contact your county diocesan chairperson listed below.

Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Respite Care Support
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative, neurological disease that affects the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking, and behavior. Persons suffering from this devastating disease may require much supervision and assistance with daily living activities. It is not just those with the disease who suffer; the continual demand for care can create emotional and physical stress for caregivers. “Respite” (meaning a short period of rest or relief from something difficult) is for the care-giver, and “Care” is for the person with Alzheimer’s disease. This program is designed to help family caregivers learn about and experience the importance of respite care services.
The program provides families with supportive counseling and direct financial assistance to obtain some relief from the heavy demands of caring for someone 24 hours per day.
Families utilize the assistance for home health care, adult day care, and short-term residential respite.
