NCC Founder Monsignor William J. Linder is a dreamer and a doer. One of his dreams is “to see the return of Newark’s glory,” according to Sister June Favata, Administrative Director of Saint Vincent Academy. One way Monsignor has pursued that goal is by supporting the four-year, Catholic, college preparatory school in Newark by providing scholarships to individual students.

Over the years, Monsignor and New Community have committed large sums of money for scholarships to enable young women from low income families to attend SVA, which was founded in 1869 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth. For his longtime support, Saint Vincent Academy honored Monsignor with the 2014 Pelican Award on October 16.

The room was thick with anticipation.

With cameras rolling and standing room only, New Community officials announced the kickoff of its rejuvenated job training program conducted in partnership with ShopRite and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s administration, which is designed to put more than 200 job seekers to work.

The press conference, hosted at New Community Workforce Development Center, drew civic leaders and corporate partners to highlight what NCC Director of Workforce Development Rodney Brutton said was the common goal of everyone in attendance.

NCC To Open Its Fourth New On-Site Clinic In Senior, Disabled Residence

As part of its mission to provide quality, accessible health care to low income residents, New Community will be opening a new on-site clinic at NCC Commons Senior using grant funding recently awarded by The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey.

Commons Senior, NCC’s largest residence for seniors and disabled adults located at 140 South Orange Ave. in Newark, will soon boast a 300-square-foot clinic where residents will have unfettered access to primary care services and the medical expertise of a physician and nurse as part of the Visiting Physician Program.
