THE DIOCESE OF TRENTON INAUGURATED THE JUBILEE YEAR 2025 with two Solemn Opening Masses celebrated by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M.
The Bishop was principal celebrant and homilist of a Dec. 28 Mass in St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton, and on Dec. 29, in St. Robert Bellarmine Co-Cathedral, Freehold.
The Masses began with the Bishop standing near the doors leading into the churches where he read a section of the Jubilee Decree, Spes Non Confundit (Hope does not disappoint). Once inside, he went to the baptismal font where he said a prayer and led the congregation in the renewal of their baptismal promises. The congregation was then sprinkled with holy water.
