As the Catholic Church marks the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday on Oct. 18, The Monitor Magazine presents a special section highlighting the Diocese of Trenton’s commitment to supporting the Church’s missionary work around the world.
Centered on the theme “One in Christ, United in Mission,” the section features a message from Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., reflecting on the importance of sharing Christ’s message and supporting missionaries serving communities in need.
Father Peter James Alindogan, diocesan missions director, offers a personal reflection on the missionary legacy of Blessed Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen and the significance of this year’s centennial celebration. Photos from a diocesan mission visit to Madagascar provide a glimpse into the Church’s outreach abroad.
Readers will also find the Diocese’s 2026 Office of Missions donation report, an annual financial summary, recognition of Catholic schools and parish religious education programs for their generous contributions, and information about the Oct. 18 diocesan World Mission Sunday Mass.
The special section invites Catholics throughout the Diocese to reflect on their shared responsibility to support the Church’s mission through prayer and generosity.
