VOTF-NNJ began in August, 2002 with its first meeting at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany. Since that time VOTF-NJ has expanded with affiliates under the VOTF-NNJ umbrella.  VOTF-NNJ holds meetings throughout the Paterson Diocese and Newark Archdiocese hosting fine speakers, including some with national reputations.  Since our inception we have taken minutes of our meetings and the educational programs offered within them to share our work and these valuable learning opportunities with our members and website readers.  Click on meetings to explore topics of interest to you.
