Hello, this is Fr. Jay Toborowsky posting from Orlando, where I’m praying for our diocese, our people, and especially for our next bishop, as we prepare for the Mass of Consecration of the United States of America to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Diocesan Administrator Father Jay Toborowsky is in Orlando for the Spring meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Though the Diocese of Metuchen is currently without a bishop, the diocese is entitled to representation and a vote on the issues before the USCCB, and so the Administrator attends as a voting member.

Catholic Bishop Osório Citora Afonso in Mozambique, was shot and assissinated inside his home today.

Pope Leo XIV mourns the loss of his brother bishop.

On this feast of Corpus Christi, our dear Sister Eileen passed the veil from this life to her eternal reward... We love her, and we will miss her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
