Together, we will face the coronavirus crisis with prayer, community and hope. Through these unprecedented times, we must not let a crisis of health lead to a crisis of faith, and so the Diocese of Metuchen is here to offer you spiritual support, digital community and resources to deepen your faith and friendship with Jesus even through these challenging times.
You may be home, but you’re not alone. Together, let’s step forward in faith, reminded that God is with us always.
“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7

Helping Moms in need
during COVID-19 CrisisAs we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord this week on March 25, we also mark the 25th anniversary of Pope St. John Paul II’s prophetic encyclical, The Gospel of Life (Evangelium vitae).
In his encyclical, Pope St. John Paul II invites each of us to ask ourselves how we are assisting women in need who are pregnant or have young children. He challenges us to open our hearts even wider, and to improve our responses where needed, especially at the local level—in short, to truly accompany each pregnant or parenting woman in need.
This is especially important now, as we deal with the COVID-19 reality. This session will introduce the US Bishops' new year-long initiative called "Walking with Moms in Need" and will discuss important resources and considerations for outreach during this pandemic.
Join Jennifer Riggiero, Secretary, Secretariat of Secretariat for Family and Pastoral Life in this discussion.
