Trenton’s St. Michael Church observes centenary milestone
December 8, 2021 at 11:19 p.m.
The kickoff for the centenary jubilee was April 4, Easter Sunday, when the Slovak community members within the church began a 100+ good deeds campaign, which will continue until the anniversary date, Dec. 12.
The establishment of St. Michael traces its roots back to the end of the 19th century, when Slovak immigrants began arriving in the Trenton area and built two Catholic Churches to serve the faithful: St. Michael Church and Sts. Peter and Paul Church. The latter is now closed.
“For St. Michael’s Church, the 100th anniversary is a big milestone,” said Father Peter Bujdos.
Major changes for St. Michael Parish surfaced in 2005 when it was merged with nearby St. Ann Parish, Lawrenceville.
While the clergy from St. Ann Parish was given oversight of St. Michael Parish, the church itself today continues to serve as a worship site for three communities – the English- speaking, the Slovak and members of the Church of the Korean Martyrs.
