First "Parish Conversation" set for Tuesday, Oct. 13

This year, through Zoom (until further notice), we will have a series of "parish conversations" on various topics, the second Tuesday of each month beginning at 6:30 lasting an hour. Ordinarily, there will be an article or two to peruse to prepare for the discussion. In light of the upcoming election on November 3rd, our first "conversation" will be on "Faithful Citizenship" and how to form our conscience. It will NOT promote one candidate over another. Please take the time to read the attached document in preparation for the discussion from the US Bishops. In November, we will begin our "conversation" on racism. Please keep you calendar free on the second Tuesday of the month. Also, feel free to submit suggestions for upcoming "conversations." Here is the information to attend the Zoom session: Meeting ID: 813 1709 5410

Descanse en paz, Diácono Felix "Tito" Miranda

El 26 de julio, el diácono Feliz Miranda recibió su última tarea del Señor, una invitación para reunirse al banquete celestial para siempre. Damos gracias a nuestro Señor y la familia del Tito: su esposa Luisa, sus cinco hijos, los nietos y bisnietos por compartirlo con nosotros en sus deberes diaconales. Clique aquí por su obituario incluyendo una presentación muy linda de fotos y aquí por la homilia ofrecida a su Misa el 1 de agosto. Descanso eterno concede a él, oh Señor, y deja que tu luz perpetua brille sobre él.

Resources for Racism

Unfortunately, we are well aware that we are still a racist society. It begins with the individual and then with the community. Click here for a series of articles, books and videos to enlighten us on this issue. Hopefully, it will move our hearts into action. We offer some summer reading here as well. When the "school year" commences, we will announce dates for "parish conversations" on the topic of racism. I ask all parishioners to first read Fr. Bryan Massingale's powerful article now, entitled “The assumptions of white privilege and what we can do about it."

Camden's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception reopens with caution, prayer

We got a little "ink" in an article in the National Catholic Reporter online version on the "reopening" of liturgy. Check it out here. Did you view the virtual tour in the top right hand corner of the homepage?

Catholic leaders support LGBTQ Catholics with video

Prominent Catholic leaders sent messages of video support to the LGBTQ community for Pride Month after Outreach 2020, a Catholic LGBTQ conference hosted by Fordham University, was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Please check the link.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
Jesús mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como ahora no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amén.

Pope Francis' Prayer to Blessed Virgin on the Coronavirus

O Mary, you always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

Oh María, siempre brillas en nuestro camino como señal de salvación y de esperanza. Nos confiamos a ti, Salud de los enfermos, quien en la cruz participó en el dolor de Jesús, manteniendo su fe firme. Tú, salvación del pueblo Romano, sabes lo que necesitamos y estamos seguros de que proveerás para que, como en Caná de Galilea, podemos volver a la alegría y al banquete después de este tiempo de tribulación. Ayúdanos, Madre del Amor Divino, para conformarnos a la voluntad del Padre y hacer lo que nos dice Jesús, quien ha asumido nuestros sufrimientos y llevó nuestras penas para guiarnos, a través de la cruz, a la alegría de la resurrección. Amén.

Bajo tu protección acudimos, Santa Madre de Dios. No desprecies las súplicas que te dirigimos en nuestras necesidades, antes bien, líbranos de todo peligro, oh Virgen gloriosa y bendita.
