Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and
let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul,
and all the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Thank you to ourPalm Bearers |
In announcing the Jubilee Year 2025, Pope Francis invited the faithful to “fan the flame of hope that has been given to us” by becoming “pilgrims of hope.” Here in the Diocese of Trenton, we joyfully embrace this call through our support of the Annual Catholic Appeal.
As pilgrims of hope, we journey together in faith, strengthened by the ministries that bring Christ’s love and light to our Diocese, parishes, and Catholic institutions. Through the Appeal, we fulfill the Church’s Gospel mission to share hope and serve others across our four counties, building a brighter future for all.
