Today, the Diocese of Trenton rejoices and gives thanks to God for the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. This momentous occasion marks the beginning of a new chapter in the life of the Church, filled with hope and renewed commitment to our faith.
Pope Leo XIV has been chosen to lead us with wisdom, compassion, fidelity and holiness. We are confident that under his leadership, the Church will continue to grow in unity, love, and service to all humanity.
As we welcome Pope Leo XIV, let us pray for his strength and guidance as he undertakes the sacred responsibility of shepherding the global Catholic community. May the Holy Spirit inspire him in his mission to bring peace, justice and the light of Christ to every corner of the world.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Pope Leo XIV and pledge our unwavering support and prayers as he begins his papacy. Together, let us move forward in faith and hope, embracing the teachings of Christ and working towards a brighter future for all.

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.
