Catholic Community Services (CCS) is the multi-service agency of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark serving the people of Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Union counties. CCS was created as a witness to the scriptural commands to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and give hope to those in need, "When you did for the least of these..., you did for me." (Mt. 25:40) CCS provides help and creates hope through quality programs, innovative projects and advocacy for families, children, men and women through behavioral, educational and social services within the limits of our fiscal and human resources.

“Catholic Charities as a ministry of the Archdiocese of Newark participates in the Church's social mission by recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of all people and responding with sincere Christian compassion to the corporeal needs of the poor and marginalized. The service of Catholic Charities is inspired by faith in Jesus Christ, Sacred Scripture, and the continuing exposition of Catholic social teaching. Through these activities, Catholic Charities strives to assist individuals in need, strengthen families, and provide those it serves with an experience of God's mercy.”
