For over 30 years, The Beacon has upheld the cherished tradition of its Christmas Sharing Fund, rallying readers to support those in need throughout the Diocese of Paterson.
This effort directly benefits Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Paterson, including programs at Straight & Narrow, Catholic Family and Community Services, and the Department for Persons with Disabilities. These organizations provide critical programs such as shelter and support for people experiencing homelessness, addiction recovery and healing, and services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
As one of the largest Catholic Charities in the United States, this trusted nonprofit has served the community for over 80 years. The Christmas Sharing Fund ensures struggling families celebrate the holidays with dignity and joy.
