Human dignity, concern for others at heart of Mass for Life celebration in Trenton

Bishops, priests, and parishioners from across New Jersey gathered at St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral in Trenton on Oct. 8 for the third annual Mass for Life. The liturgy, led by Bishop David M. O'Connell, preceded the New Jersey March for Life.

During his homily, auxiliary bishop Pedro Bismarck Chau of the Archdiocese of Newark told the congregation that the death of Jesus Christ demonstrates the value of every human person. He noted that the crucifix represents the price paid for every individual.

Attendees from various dioceses joined the clergy for the prayer service before participating in the subsequent rally and march.
