  • From Bishop Kevin Sweeney:

    We hold ourselves to the highest standards in every area of life, faith and our actions. All church personnel are called to faithfully live by our Code of Conduct, handbooks and all policies that define and guide appropriate behavior in the workplace. The vast majority of people in the church: priests, religious, lay employees and volunteers, are wonderful, faithful workers for the love of God. However, it is a reflection of the times--that negative news gets emphasized and highlighted. When problems occur, we address and correct them.



    Values, Integrity,
     Accountability, Honesty
    and Ethical Behavior in All That We Do...

     

    When We Succeed - Please Report Good Things

    The Diocese of Paterson is proud of our priests, religious and lay people who conduct themselves with the utmost character and professionalism.They give of themselves selflessly to bring the love and life of Jesus to others. We are blessed with so many examples of dedication and commitment. Incredible and steady good works happen every day throughout the Diocese.

    Our parishes, schools, Catholic Charities organizations, and ministries are shining examples of doing things the right way, for the right reasons. 

    I am always happy to hear about the great things that our wonderful priests and others do. We very much appreciate reports of good works and acts of kindness that take place, often without notice. Please send a note when compliments are in order.  

    Send email to Bishop Sweeney.


    If We Fail - Please Report Negative Concerns

    I ask people to report negative concerns so we can correct problems; we strive to live by our code and values and we discipline those who violate our standards.  

    Likewise, I ask anyone who has concerns about financial matters or other areas of church stewardship to report them, so they can be fully investigated. We use a reporting system which includes telephone and web based options, as well as anonymity in bringing any concerns forward.
