The Diocese’s first Young Adult Mass series of the year featured music and faith, focusing on knowing God.
Held Feb. 7 in St. Mary Church, Middletown, Father Richard Osborn, parochial vicar, said, “Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a powerful reminder for us of the infinite and burning love God has for his people. God yearns for us to embrace him so that our hearts can be transformed by his grace. When we rest in his love, we are transformed by him and become strong yet gentle, subtle yet passionate disciples who can sincerely bring the Good News to others, even those who are not receptive to Christ.”
Sponsored by the diocesan Department of Evangelization and Family Life, the Young Adult Masses have been offered once a month throughout the Diocese’s four counties since July 2016. The series is part of a broader effort to bring together young Catholics in Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean counties.
