March 28, 2023BISHOP DAVID M, O’CONNELL, C.M., HAS SHARED the following message as the Church prepares for Holy Week. Read the complete message HERE.
During our preparations for the Synod of Bishops 2023-2024, the Catholic Church and its leaders have focused upon the idea of a “journey” through life. Holy Week is part of that journey and is, in fact, a journey of its own, following the Lord Jesus Christ.
As the Holy Season of Lent draws to a close and Holy Week begins, it is time for all Catholics to prepare deeply for the Church’s annual commemoration of the Lord Jesus’ Passion, Death and Resurrection and to “journey” with him.
BISHOP O’CONNELL WILL BE CELEBRATING HOLY WEEK AND EASTER MASSES AND SERVICES THIS YEAR AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS:

nday of the Passion of the Lord Mass at 10:30 a.m. in Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, West Trenton April 3 – Chrism Mass at 7:30 p.m. in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, Freehold
