About Us

Providing Help and Creating Hope for More Than a Century

Community service remains the cornerstone of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Newark. We have a long history of reaching outside our walls to identify the needs of our community and develop services to meet those needs.

Catholic Catholic Charities traces its roots in the Archdiocese to July, 1903, when a group of lay Roman Catholics founded the Catholic Children's Aid Society of New Jersey, the predecessor of our current Family and Adoption Program. The organization was the first society for the prevention of cruelty to children established by a Catholic diocese in the United States, and it was the second to begin placing Catholic orphan children in private Catholic homes for the purpose of adoption. In 1927, 15 orphanages collaborated with the Children's Aid Society to form Associated Catholic Charities, which provided organized family services that included child welfare.
