We Are Living Stones Capital Campaign

The We Are Living Stones Capital Campaign is a historic initiative that will ensure that we, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, will remain a strong, vibrant and faithful Church for years to come. We know that the greatest treasure is our Catholic faith; the source of our strength and nourishment as we journey through life. This campaign is primarily focused on just that; the spiritual growth and development of the people of this great Archdiocese. As generations past have solidified their legacy, your generosity towards the We Are Living Stones Campaign will create a legacy for this generation. This legacy of faith will be passed onto the next generation to accept, cherish, and carry into the future.

We Are Living Stones Capital Campaign Progress 

All 214 parishes have completed their efforts toward the We Are Living Stones Campaign, and God has certainly blessed the work of His People. The Campaign continues to move strongly towards its goal of $90 million, with nearly $87.6 million in pledge commitments to date.  Parishes throughout the Archdiocese have broken ground on various capital projects with over $24 million already distributed to qualifying parishes.
