Social Concerns Ministry

Sacred Heart Social Concerns Ministry is dedicated to bringing assistance and friendship to those in need. This need may be a sickness, disability, family problems, loneliness, alcoholism, drug abuse, or loss of a job or a spouse.

Here at Sacred Heart, our organization discreetly helps those in need in central New Jersey and works in conjunction with Catholic Charities within the Diocese of Metuchen. Some of the programs we manage are:

Providing food and short term monetary assistance for those in need while providing guidance on securing long term assistance provided by various state or federal agencies

Providing friendship and comfort while in transition

Providing assistance to groups, such as Life Choices, F.I.S.H., Catholic Charities and CRS (Catholic Relief Services)

Advent Tree to collect gift cards for perishable food items and clothing

Poor Boxes – the primary source of funds
