In the current world around us there are many who suffer and face grave challenges.
This morning, the students and faculty members from Assumption Catholic School, a Ukrainian Catholic school, and Perth Amboy Catholic School, a Roman Catholic school, gathered together  in  friendship   and in solidarity to pray for peace in Ukraine and  for brave Ukrainians risking their lives in defense of their freedoms, liberty, and their democratic way of life. Most Rev. James F. Checchio  the Bishop of the Diocese of Metuchen was present at the Liturgy and expressed  his support for the Ukrainian people. Bishop James also has asked parishes in the diocese to participate in a special Collection to Aid the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, which will allow the faithful to provide assistance to the victims of war in Ukraine and many other projects the Collection supports in the region.
