The Diocese will welcome hundreds of community members to its first major event of the summer: “Evangelization: A Call to Mercy.”
Set for June 25 in the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish complex, Freehold, the day-long, bilingual event will engage attendees in learning, prayer and reflection on the New Evangelization and its context in this, the Year of Mercy proclaimed by Pope Francis. Running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the gathering will include a noonday Mass celebrated by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., as well as two keynote presentations given by nationally known speakers Paulist Father Frank DeSiano and Dr. Hosffman Ospino, both of whom will address the relationship between mercy and evangelization in the context of Catholic living and ministry.
