The New Jersey Catholic Conference (NJCC) is the public policy voice for the Catholic Church in New Jersey and the Catholic bishops who lead each of the Garden State's seven dioceses. NJCC serves as a liaison to law makers and government agencies and institutions and coordinates communications and activities between the bishops and secular agencies. The seven Catholic bishops serve as NJCC's board of directors, or "board of bishops," which is presided over by Cardinal Joseph Tobin, the archbishop of the Archdiocese of Newark.
Founded in 1949, NJCC has proudly served New Jersey's Catholic community for nearly 75 years.
