Hope House Supporters Receive 2011 Vivere Christus Award

His Excellency The Most Reverend Arthur Joseph  Serratelli established the  honor  of The Vivere Christus Award to recognize the contributions of the laity to the mission of Christ and the Church. "Essential to the work of the Church are the many dedicated lay women and men of the Diocese of Paterson who continually live as faithful stewards of God's grace and generosity," Bishop Serratelli said. "The goal of this recognition is to acknowledge the value and importance of the laity and to express gratitude and appreciation to those who unselfishly give of their time, talent and treasure for the building up of God's Kingdom."

On May 22, 2001 several Hope House friends , supporters and stakeholders were recognized with this award. We congratulate and thank them and  all the  honorees:
