A Year of Spiritual Awakening Lighting Hearts on Fire is a campaign of spiritual renewal within the Diocese of Metuchen that seeks to bring about a renewed zeal for evangelization among the faithful. It entails a year of preparation beginning on December 12, 2018, culminating in the consecration of the Diocese to Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12, 2019. “In his apostolic letter The Joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis has told us, “We strive to light a fire in the heart of the world” (n. 271). As your bishop and your fellow Catholic, I am inviting and counting on you to light a fire with me in the heart of our part of the world. I want us — the laity, religious, deacons, and priests of the Diocese of Metuchen — to be kindling that is set aflame by the Holy Spirit, allowing God’s love and power to burn more brightly here in Central New Jersey.­­” -Bishop James F.
