The Murray House
Murray House is the longest running group home in the state of New Jersey. In the 1800's it served as a doctor's home/office and in 1925 it was taken over by the Diocese and run by Franciscans and became Anthony's Guild which moved go Marshall Street in 1938. In 1944 it was acquired by the Diocese of Paterson. In 1971 it became the Murray House named after Jimmy Murray who was a beloved boy with disabilities and the brother of Joseph A. Murray. In 1992, it moved from Patterson to Clifton where it provides care for people with developmental disabilities. Jimmy's name on the Murray House reminds and teaches all what love means and the limits to which love sometimes calls us. It teaches us too that the greatest service we could give to our family here is the gift that made Jimmie's life happy and full - the gift he received from his Mom and Dad - selfless love.
