"AS BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE, I TURN TO YOU IN OUR PARISHES ONCE AGAIN, asking your generosity, not for ourselves but for them. 100% of the proceeds of the Pontifical Good Friday Collection go to support Christians of the Holy Land through the agency of our Diocese.  As we recall the Lord’s passion, death and resurrection during Holy Week, we cannot and should not forget the very place where our faith and our Church was born in the blood of our Redeemer. Please be generous.  Thank you."

WITH SPRING USHERING IN A SEASON OF RENEWAL, the April issue of The Monitor Magazine offers stories that capture the fresh energy and celebrates the revitalized faith emerging across our Diocese.
This month’s In Focus feature, Recovery and Resurgence, provides an encouraging look at in-person Sunday Mass attendance. After more than two decades of decline — exacerbated by the profound challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic — parishes are now witnessing a hopeful resurgence. Across the Diocese of Trenton and throughout the country, attendance numbers are climbing, with many parishes even meeting or exceeding pre-pandemic levels, according to the Diocese’s annual Mass counts.
