“Political identity is never more important than my identity in Christ.”

The Church’s contribution to the public life of a nation is not a political or partisan program. It reflects our commitment to the dignity of every person, who is created in the image and likeness of God. Bishop Robert Boxie, III, Auxiliary Bishop of Archdiocese of Washington, reflects on why our faith should inform our politics and how, as members of the Body of Christ, we have a duty to help build a political system that works for everyone and upholds the dignity of every human life.

A valid identification card is the first document an employer asks to see. It is required to complete an I-9, open a bank account, sign a lease, fill a prescription, enroll in Medicaid or SNAP, and board a flight. A driver’s license expands the range of jobs a person can accept, particularly in construction, logistics, healthcare, and the trades, where shifts start early and job sites are not served by public transit.

For men and women returning home from incarceration, identification is often lost, expired, or never issued. For veterans in transition, an expired license or registration can stall access to benefits and employment. Without ID, every other step toward stability is delayed.

The New Jersey Reentry Corporation is hosting the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission Mobile Unit at our Elizabeth site to remove that barrier for court-involved individuals, veterans, and active NJRC participants.

Services available on site:
Driver’s license renewals; vehicle registration renewals; non-driver identification cards; examination permit applications; license plate surrender; and placards. REAL ID appointments are limited.

Appointments are required. Scan the QR code on the flyer to register. Please bring the documents required under the MVC’s 6 Points of ID verification. For more information or help scheduling, contact Karlicia Thomas at [email protected] or Robyn Brown at [email protected].

We are grateful to Chief Administrator Rosalie Johnson, New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and Chris Hillmann of the NJMVC for their leadership in bringing these essential services directly to the NJRC community. Their commitment ensures that returning citizens and veterans can secure the identification they need to work, heal, and rebuild their lives.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary ♱ ♡

💙 August’s dedication to the Immaculate Heart of Mary focuses on honoring the interior spiritual reality of who Mary was. The “Immaculate Heart” refers to Mary’s profound interior life: her perfect love for God, her unwavering faith, her complete surrender of her will to His purpose. It expresses the beauty of her soul: her “yes” at the Annunciation, her faithfulness at the Cross, her deepest devotion to God.

⚜️ When Catholics honor the Immaculate Heart in August, they recognize that Mary possessed an extraordinary spiritual beauty and alignment with God’s will. She stands as the most perfect human example of what it means to love God completely and to cooperate with His grace.

✝️ Anyone who believes Jesus was truly God incarnate should appreciate this: the woman who bore the Son of God had to be spiritually remarkable.

🕯️ The veneration of Mary in Catholic practice follows a specific principle. Veneration (dulia) is the honor given to Mary as a saint; worship (latria) belongs to God alone. When Catholics pray to Mary, they ask her to intercede for them with her Son, the same way a person might ask a living friend to pray on their behalf.

🪽 Mary does not answer prayers or grant favors; Christ does. Mary brings our requests to Him, and her closeness to Christ gives her intercession spiritual weight. If you respected a friend’s mother and asked her to speak to your friend on your behalf, you would be honoring her relationship with someone you love.

❤️‍🔥 August’s focus on the Immaculate Heart celebrates Mary’s interior holiness and her role as our spiritual mother, without crossing into idolatry.
