Catholic Charities, Diocese of PatersonOne Year After a Devastating Fire, Straight and Narrow Perseveres On
August 24, 2020
Dear Friends of Catholic Charities,
One year ago today, Catholic Charities, Straight and Narrow experienced 5-alarm Fire. A year later, thanks to help from the community, Straight and Narrow continues to provide a high level of support for those in recover y.
This catastrophe could have easily become a tragedy if not for the brave response from the Paterson Fire Department and other first responders. We are so grateful to all who helped save lives on that day. We also continue to thank our working Straight and Narrow employees, who, when the alarm sounded, acted diligently and professionally.
Contributions and acts of kindness for those impacted by this fire began a year ago and haven’t stopped. Local service organizations went above and beyond in assisting with donations of clothing and needed items for the individuals impacted. Bishop Emeritus Serratelli was on the scene the day of the fire and helped raise needed funds through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. We thank Bishop Sweeney for his support and the support of the Diocesan faithful. Individuals and organizations from around the country have given to assist Straight and Narrow, showing their love and empathy for individuals in recovery. We are truly blessed.
In the past year, we have persevered through a devastating fire and the COVID-19 Pandemic. We will continue to be there for our communities during the most challenging of times.
