Ted Baker, co-chair of the Catholic Strong campaign at Saint Simon Stock Parish, Berlin, speaks at the Catholic Strong Kick-Off Event Sept. 11 at Saint Mary of Mount Carmel Parish, Saint Anthony Church, Hammonton. The primary goal of the campaign is to provide the necessary resources that will strengthen parishes and their ministries. Seventy percent of the funds raised at each parish will remain at that parish in order to address local needs. These funds will provide each parish the ability to grow ministries, increase evangelization efforts, complete capital improvements, reduce debt, and focus on other critical concerns. Because each parish is unique, parishes will determine for themselves how best to utilize their share of the funds raised. Photo by Mike Walsh
