Pope sets canonizations of Blessed Acutis, Frassati, Bishop announces Diocesan Mass

June 13, 2025
by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M.
IN RESPONSE TO THE CANONIZATION NEWS, Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., announced that the Diocese of Trenton will celebrate a Mass Sunday, September 7 at 10:30 am at St. Dominic Church in Brick, home of the Diocesan Shrine of Carlo Acutis.

Bishop O’Connell stated, “I was delighted to learn that our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV has announced September 7 as the date for the canonizations of Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Both have a special meaning for the Diocese of Trenton. I established Blessed Carlo as diocesan patron of Catholic youth and school and Religious Ed children in 2022 and Blessed Pier Giorgio as a patron for vocations. As we celebrate this wonderful event, let’s all continue to pray for their intercession.”
