James Kerney Foundation
James Kerney
(1873-1934)
“He was always looking after the unfortunate. Even those who had fallen into evil ways always found in him a helping hand. No one ever fell so low but that Kerney was willing to aid and uplift. He was Christ-like in his ministration to God’s people. It is only as individuals such as Jim Kerney are allowed to work out their own careers that this land will remain a land of the free and a home of the happy.” NJ Governor Edward Stokes
