Join Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney and Communications Director Jai Agnish for episode 24 of Beyond The Beacon, a podcast of the Diocese of Paterson, N.J. They welcome the pastor and a principal from Assumption School in Morristown — one of the Catholic schools of the diocese. Msgr. John E. Hart and Sister Merris Larkin, S.C., joyfully discuss the life of a successful elementary school and how they work together to make learning effective and fun. Listen on any major podcast platform or watch the episode on the bishop’s YouTube channel.
The community of St. Mary’s Abbey and Delbarton School, both in Morristown, joined together to mark the opening of the 2023–24 academic year on Sept. 12 with a Mass celebrated by Bishop Sweeney.
Ryan Fish, 14, of Assumption Parish in Morristown, considers being an altar server “a unique experience because I’m so close to Jesus on the altar.” On Sept. 16, Fish and nearly 90 altar servers from parishes across the diocese gained a greater understanding of the Eucharist and their role at Mass at Altar Servers Day at St. Paul Inside the Walls in Madison.
