"With the passage of this law (New Jersey Assisted Suicide Law) by the Legislature and the signing by our governor, we are facing dark times," wrote Bishop Checchio in his July 29 letter. "As a church, we will not stop from advocating for the sanctity of human life, in all stages, and we will continue to educate our legislators, our fellow Catholics and the general public about the dangers of legalized physician-assisted suicide."  Bishop James Checchio, 7.29.19 America Magazine online.
