In recognition and appreciation of the dedication and sacrifices of Catholic school educators, the Diocese of Metuchen officially began the new academic year with the celebration of Mass Aug. 31 for those who have made, and continue to make, significant differences in the lives of students and families across the Diocese.
“This is what the Church needs so desperately now … your intercession, your consecration,” said Bishop James F. Checchio to 23 religious sisters celebrating significant anniversaries this year.
