February 21
As the bishop of the Diocese of Metuchen, I have been blessed to travel throughout the four counties of our diocese, often meeting and praying with so many faithful disciples of Christ, each facing their own circumstances in life. Though my travels have been lessened by the pandemic, among those in the diocese whom I have been fortunate to meet on regular past visits are the women housed at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility in Clinton, situated in Hunterdon County.Read More

A Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.I love you above all things
and I desire to receive you in my soul.Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.Amen ---------------------------
Year of St. Joseph,
Patron of the Universal Church
Dec. 8, 2020 - Dec 8, 2021Pope Francis begins his Apostolic Letter Patris Corde inaugurating the year of St Joseph with the following words: "WITH A FATHER'S HEART: that is how Joseph loves Jesus,". The Holy Father closes the Letter with the following words and prayer: We need only ask St. Joseph for the grace of graces: our conversion. Let us now make our prayer to him:
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted his only Son;
in you Mary placed her trust;
with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.The full Apostolic Letter can be found at http://www.vatican.va -

Lighting Hearts on Fire
A Diocesan Consecration for a New Evangelization
On December 12, 2019, the Diocese of Metuchen was consecrated to Jesus under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The intention for this consecration was to ask for the graces needed for a New Evangelization. By this consecration, Bishop James F. Checchio's prayer is that it will stir up an increased holiness of life, a renewed commitment to living the Gospel message to the full, and the enthusiastic willingness to share that message with others among the faithful.
