  • Mental Health Sunday, Novena highlight Church’s focus on mental health ministry

    Catholics in the Diocese of Trenton and around the world are invited to pray throughout October to support mental health ministry. Pope Leo XIV designated the month for these prayers to help reduce the stigma and discrimination faced by people struggling with mental health issues. Parishes across the United States will observe National Mental Health Sunday on Oct. 11, following World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. Bishop Edward J. Burns, who leads the Diocese of Dallas and chairs a committee for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, asked the faithful to remain mindful of their own mental health and the struggles of those in their families, workplaces, and Catholic communities. Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., noted in a previous message that many people carry burdens such as depression, anxiety, and addiction silently or behind busy lives.

  • Parishioners come together to make rosaries for beatification

    More than 100 parishioners from St. Jude Catholic Parish in Allen gathered on Aug. 26 to handcraft 600 World Mission Rosaries. These rosaries are intended for people attending the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sept. 24. Paula Mattei, a parishioner and member of the Diocese of Dallas Diocesan Mission Team, helped organize the event alongside Raymond Corral. The group participated in a nationwide campaign launched by The Pontifical Mission Societies on May 1, which seeks to collect 75,000 World Mission Rosaries for the beatification ceremony. The World Mission Rosary was created by Archbishop Sheen in 1951 while he served as the national director of The Pontifical Mission Societies. The design uses five different colors for each decade to represent various regions of the world where missionaries serve. Each rosary will be blessed before the beatification ceremony.
