Bishop Gregory J. Studerus, who spent decades serving Hudson County as its episcopal vicar and as a pastor at parishes in Jersey City and West New York, was honored for his longtime commitment to supporting education during the Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children’s fourth annual Irish American Leadership Breakfast on March 12. The event also raised a record-breaking $150,000 for its partial tuition assistance scholarships, which benefit underprivileged students attending archdiocesan Catholic schools.

Economically-disadvantaged students from Hudson Catholic Regional High School and St. Peterâ€s Preparatory School in Jersey City were among 13 teens who received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend the U.S. Space Camp in Alabama thanks to an extraordinary scholarship program from the Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children.
