The Office of Development supports the mission of the Diocese of Metuchen by actively seeking the financial resources and funding opportunities needed to support and advance the Church’s pastoral, educational, and charitable ministries.
The Office plans and implements major diocesan appeals, builds relationships with donors, and provides ongoing guidance, education, resources, and leadership training to clergy and laity in the areas of charitable giving, fundraising, and stewardship.
The mission of the Office of Stewardship is to foster stewardship as a “way of life,” wherein individuals more fully live their baptismal call to discipleship. This is a year-round effort which challenges all Catholics to a radical conversion, taken one step at a time, to put God first in their lives.
This Office promotes Stewardship through on-going education, motivation and invitation, and by providing practical support and tools to assist the clergy and laity as they invite active stewardship in the local parish church through thesharing of time, talent and financial resources.
