Rarely does a school community have the opportunity to witness the canonization of its school patron.
On a day filled with great joy, splendor and gratitude to God, Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., joined the community of St. Hedwig Parish, Trenton, April 27 to commemorate the canonization St. John Paul II.
Prayerful expectation filled St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Freehold April 26 as nearly 1,000 congregants gathered for the Diocese’s celebration of the canonization of Blessed John XXIII, which was set to take place in Rome the next day.
Three priests in the Diocese of Trenton have traveled to Rome to witness the Canonization Mass of Blessed John XXIII and Blessed John Paul II.
