The Eucharistic Christ is present in the tabernacle at Perth Amboy Catholic School, and children young and old are making room in their hearts for him this Christmas.
On a cold, wintry December day, the warm sun shone in on a humble chapel inside a Catholic school. The gleaming light rested on a golden tabernacle placed carefully at the center of the altar. Children sat quietly, waiting for Mass to begin, while voices rang out in polyphony as the choir practiced for their first Mass inside the chapel just weeks after the chapel was blessed by the bishop.
As Father Ron Machado said during the homily: “You have the privilege to go and talk to Jesus. Once the Blessed Sacrament is in the building, it’s surrounded, protected by Jesus. The heart will be happy. Jesus will be happy when you come to meet him.”
A Eucharistic revival is taking place inside this small pre-K-8 Catholic school a stone’s throw from Staten Island in the small harbor town of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Led by a faithful and passionate principal, Anacelina Diaz, Perth Amboy Catholic School (PACS) is now the only one in the Diocese of Metuchen to have its own chapel and tabernacle. And Principal Diaz is devoted to keeping the light burning.
