WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Woodbridge resident Thomas Calimano will be honored by the Archdiocese of Newark for his success as a business leader.

Calimano will be recognized at the Archdiocese’s 29th annual Business & Labor Reception on March 1.

Calimano is the senior vice president for Institutional Asset Management at PNC Bank. He is also a parishioner of St. Anthony of Padua Church in Port Reading.

For his job, Calimano oversees portfolio, business development and relationship management at PNC Bank. A 30-year veteran of the financial world, he serves on PNC’s New Jersey Regional Diversity & Inclusion Council and is a board member of Rutgers Community Health Foundation. Calimano, who holds an MBA from St. John’s University, also served as an executive board member and coach with the Carteret Little League and the Carteret Girls Softball League and as a coach for CYO Basketball.

John F. Capo, Director of the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Administrative District Council, will also be honored.

Both men will be recognized at the Cardinal’s 29th annual Business & Labor Recognition Reception on Tuesday, March 1 at Mayfair Farms in West Orange.

The event is attended annually by hundreds of labor and business leaders.

The annual Business & Labor Recognition Reception benefits the Archdiocese of Newark’s Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry (CYO) and St. John Paul II Youth Retreat Center in Kearny, which serves more than 35,000 young people of every race, religion and ethnic background each year. To date, the Annual Business & Labor Recognition Reception has raised more than $5 million since its inception 28 years ago. All proceeds support CYO programs such as CYO Day Camp, youth and young adult ministry events, retreats, formation, and CYO athletics.

“Mr. Calimano and Mr. Capo have shown great dedication to their employees and to the members of the communities whom they serve,” said Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin. “They join the ranks of our state’s most stellar business and labor leaders, and we look forward to honoring them at our annual event.”
