A word to our readers ....

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, and the many ways it is impacting life as we all have known it, the standard content that would have been published in this April issue of The Monitor Magazine is being set aside. Instead, we have dedicated nearly all of this issue to the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on our faith lives as we head into the most holy season of the Christian year.

Please note that this SPECIAL EDITION has been produced by our editorial and graphics staff and freelance partners, all of whom have been working from home since March 16, when much of the Chancery building was shut down. Coordinating a publishing project like this is not easy when we are not together in the same office, and I would like to thank our team for their sense of professionalism and mission.

We are also deeply grateful to the Diocese’s Computer Services Department for making sure we were all functional at home. We also thank the many good people of the Diocese who contacted us or responded to us with information and resources that helped us in our reporting. 

The understanding and accommodation that was shown to us by Evergreen Printing during these challenging days must also be mentioned.

We are facing a very worrisome threat, but this is by no means a grim or mournful collection of stories.  It has been our aim to inform you and give you practical resources, but also to lift you up, as you read about all the good things that are being done to stay close to God, to minister to others and to help those in need. 

The print edition of this magazine is being sent to all subscribers, but because of its special content, we are sending this digitally to all registered members of the Diocese for whom we have an email. If you are a new reader, we welcome you and invite you to find out more about this magazine.

To all our readers, please know that our regular reporting – especially now as Holy Week and Easter have arrived – continues on our news site: TrentonMonitor.com. We are committed to bringing you these stories in real time and invite you to come back every day to see what has been updated or added.

Stay safe and well, and let’s keep in touch!  May God bless us all.
