The Monitor

MAGAZINE AND DIGITAL NEWS SITE 
OF THE DIOCESE OF TRENTON,
serving the Catholic community in
Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The cover image of Our Lady of the Rosary leads the October issue of The Monitor Magazine. At 72 pages, this new package is filled with in-depth content about the special events and observances taking place this month. Look for messages from Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., covering such topics as Respect Life Month; forming our consciences to exercise faithful citizenship in the coming election, and the need to pray for the healing of a burdened nation.

This new issue also features several special sections you won’t want to miss:

• IN FOCUS:  Celebrating religious orders and their members serving in the Diocese
• HIGH SCHOOL SHOWCASE:  A convenient round-up of all that the Catholic high schools in the Diocese have to offer
• WORLD MISSION SUNDAY: Raising awareness about the Church’s missionary outreach around the globe

Our standing Spanish-language package, El Anzuelo, along with lots of local stories and spiritual insight round out this unique issue of the diocesan magazine.

We also are happy to recognize that this marks the first anniversary of this publication, and what a year it has been!  Being able to reach this milestone despite the pandemic and the many ways it has impacted the diocesan family is something for which we are profoundly grateful. I hope you will check our READERS’ CORNER page, where we properly thank some of the many folks who have helped us along the way. But we must extend here a very special thank-you to our many readers who have been so generous in their affirmation of our work.  Every email, letter and phone call has been so greatly appreciated during this past year.

Because The Monitor Magazine cannot be distributed in our churches at this time, we are providing free and open digital access to all members of our diocesan community and visitors to our websites. You can view a digital copy HERE.
