April issue of The Monitor Magazine

How was your Holy Week and Easter?

Judging by the hundreds of images captured by Monitor photographers from across the Diocese, it was nothing short of momentous.

The April issue of The Monitor Magazine presents a photographic collection of some of the most beautiful and dramatic moments of this most sacred time in the life of our Church. We featured Holy Week events from more than 20 different parish communities this year, with a focus on ceremonies and celebrations that many of the faithful don’t typically experience, such as the Chrism Mass and the Easter Vigil.

We especially recommend a compilation of excerpts from the homilies given by Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., (see page 8) as he spent Holy Week visiting with several parishes.

Please remember that we’ve posted many more photos from this special coverage to our website at trentonmonitor.smugmug.com.

This month’s IN FOCUS is no less momentous: Divine Invitation is a dedicated section offering information and inspiration on the latest developments in the National Eucharistic Revival, including the upcoming pilgrimage in May and the Congress coming up in July.

In another of those extraordinary moments that have happened in our Diocese, this month’s magazine cover depicts the annual Blue Mass, or Celebration of Law Enforcement, which took place April 4. To see nearly 1,000 law enforcement representatives and their supporters come together in prayer with the Bishop and many local priests is a rare opportunity and one worth your time as you page through this new issue.
