“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have

From the Pastor’s Desk Del Escritorio del Pastor

Dear parishioners and friends:

The Beautification of our Parish Shrine

One of my goals as pastor of the parish is to enhance

awareness throughout our community and throughout

the region that our parish is an officially designated

Shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. We may be

the only “officially” designated Diocesan Shrine in the

Camden Diocese and at times I think we are the best

kept secret in South Jersey. Our Lady of Guadalupe is

the Patroness of all the Americas and the Patroness of

Life. God knows we need the intersession and

protection of our Blessed Mother. I am a frequent

visitor to the Shrines of Philadelphia, particularly The

Shrine of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal and St.

John Neumann. Every week hundreds of pilgrims travel

to these shrines to pray. When I visit those Shrines I am

struck by their beauty. One’s souls is lifted up to God

because you know you are in a place of prayer. With

these thoughts in mind, I seek to beautify our Shrine and

to enhance awareness and publicity. As you remember,

last year we had the unfortunate vandalism incident.

Generous parishioners and others donated money for the

Shrine and that money has been kept in a restricted

parish account, to be used only for the upkeep and

beautification of the Shrine. This helped us better our

sound system at St. Lawrence, and now some money

from this account will be used to beautify the Church. A

statue of St. Juan Diego, so integral to the story of Our

Lady of Guadalupe, has already been donated. Artisans

who worked on the Philadelphia Shrines I mentioned

above will help us. I ask for your patience as we

gradually, as money allows, beautify our Parish Shrine

of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I dream of hundreds of

pilgrims from all nationalities coming to our Shrine and

placing their petitions of prayer and thanksgiving before

Our Lady. As always, we appreciate and need your

prayers and support. I am confident that Mary will

continue to wrap us in her mantle of love, and lead us

and all pilgrims to her Beloved Son, Our Savior, Jesus

Christ our Lord.

God Bless you and your family, Father Vince

Queridos feligreses y amigos:

El enbellecimiento de nuestra Parroquia Unas de mis metas como párroco de nuestra parroquia es

crear conciencia a traves de nuestra comunidad y de la

región de que nuestra parroquia ha sido designada

oficialmente como el Santuario dedicado a Nuestra Señora

de Guadalupe. Puede ser que nosotros seamos oficialmente

el único Santuario Diocesano en la Diócesis de Camden y

a veces pienso que nosotros somos el secreto mejor

guardado en el Sur de Nueva Jersey. Nuestra Señora de

Guadalupe es la Patrona de todas las Américas y la

Patrona de la Vida. Dios sabe que necesitamos la

intercesión de nuestra Santísima Madre. Yo soy un

visitante frecuente de los Santuarios de Filadelfia,

particularmente del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la

Medalla Milagrosa. Y el de Juan Neumann. Cada semana

cientos de pelegrinos viajan a estos santuarios para orar.

Nuestras almas son elevadas a Dios porque sabemos que

estamos en un lugar de oración. Con estos pensamientos

en mente, yo quiero embellecer nuestro santuario y

aumentar el conocimiento y publicidad. Como podrán

recordar, el año pasado desafortunadamente tuvimos un

acto de vandalismo en nuestro Santuario. Nuestros

generosos feligreses y otras personas donaron dinero para

el Santuario y ese dinero ha sido mantenido en una cuenta

especial de nuestra parroquia para ser usado solamente

para las mejoras y el embellecimiento del Santuario. Esto

nos ha permitido hacer mejorar al sistema de sonido de la

Iglesia de San Lorenzo y parte de este dinero de esta

cuenta será usado ahora para el embellecimiento de

nuestra Iglesia. Una estatua de San Juan Diego, tan

importante en la historia de Nuestra Señora Guadalupe, ya

ha sido donada. Artesanos que han trabajado en los

Santuarios de Filadelfia, como les mencione

anteriormente, nos ayudaran con este proyecto. Yo les pido

que tengan un poco paciencia, hasta que el dinero nos

permita, mientras gradualmente embellecemos el Santuario

de nuestra parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Yo

sueño con cientos de pelegrinos de todas las

nacionalidades que vengan a visitar nuestro Santuario y

coloquen sus oraciones de petición y de acción de gracia

ante Nuestra Señora. Como siempre, les agradezco y

necesitamos de sus oraciones y apoyo. Yo estoy seguro que

María nos continuará cubriéndonos con su manto de amor

y nos encaminará a nosotros y a todos los pelegrinos a su

queridísimo Hijo, Nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo, Nuestro

Señor.

Que Dios te bendiga ti y a tu familia. Padre Vicente

Stewards Open Hearts “But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, ‘Behold,

half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor, and if I

extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times

over.’” Luke 19:8 We are all called to graciously give back to the Lord in proportion

to the blessings we have been given. This means everyone isn’t

called to give the same amount, but is called to give equal

sacrifice. No amount is insignificant for good Stewardship. Open

your heart, how is God calling you?

Diaper Drive

Please bring diapers (larger sizes preferred) and baby wipes

to the baskets provided at both churches.

(Luvs diapers are preferred due to their absorbency.)

be accepting donations until the first weekend of November.

This effort is sponsored by Nativity Council of the Knights of

Columbus and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish

Respect Life Ministry.

The New Jersey Assembly voted to pass the Aid in Dying

for the Terminally Ill Act during its session on October 20

and sent the bill to the Senate. This bill is set up to

allow terminally ill people the right to get drugs to end

their life. Despite the nice name, it is an assisted suicide

bill, and as such, it communicates that some lives are not

worth living. Consider what Dr. Janet Smith, a professor

of Moral Theology and full-time caretaker for her mother

with dementia over the last year said recently:

The wisdom of leaving death in God's hands is so right. If

we were to be the ones who decide, we would likely do one

of two things, both wrong. For those who suffer and whose

lives seem without value to them or others, we would likely

kill them out of a sense of mercy. There would also be

those who would keep their loved ones alive way past when

their " time had come" if they could, just to have one

more day, hour, minute to hold their hands or caress their

brow. God has reserved the time of death for Himself and

that is so clearly right to me now: that deep within the per-

son who seems to be nearly a " mere vegetable" there

may well be powerful things going on -- sorting things out,

talking with God. It is best for us not to disturb or short

circuit that process. I think all the hymns I sang and

prayers I said aloud and my talking to my mother about

Jesus (she

wanted me to talk with her about Jesus when she could

indicate her desires - I wish I had done more of that) -- and

of heaven, were very valuable and blessed moments.

I believe they helped her " transition." (10/10/16)

Please take a moment and call Governor Christie and

ask him to veto Bill A2451/S2474.

Holy Hour for Vocations

First Thursdays is a monthly Holy Hour for Vocations hosted by

different parishes throughout the diocese. For young men

thinking about the priesthood, it is a chance to spend time in

prayer before the Blessed Sacrament asking the Lord to make

one’s calling clear. For others, it is an opportunity to come

together and beg the Lord to bless our diocese with more priests

in the near future.

Please join us December 1:

Holy Hour for Vocations: 7-8 p.m. @ St. Luke
