The Monitor

NEWSPAPER OF THE DIOCESE OF TRENTON,
serving the Catholic community in
Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The young face of the Catholic Church is in the spotlight as The Monitor releases its latest digital edition. 

The June 13 issue celebrates and draws inspiration from our young people, beginning with the our special Confirmation coverage, continuing with the many young people recognized in their parishes for Diocesan Youth Sunday, and wrapping up with our Catholic high school GRADUATION KEEPSAKE booklet recognizing the Class of 2019.

The latest issue includes a SPECIAL REPORT from Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., and Catholic News Service about the U.S. Bishops’ Spring Assembly during which a number of critical measures were approved to strengthen the Church’s accountability and transparency in the sexual abuse crisis. In New Jersey, the Independent Victim Compensation Program is now launching, and The Monitor includes key information for anyone who has been abused as a minor by a member of the clergy.
