JOSEPH HOUSE CASSEROLE PROGRAM - UPDATE
We would like to again thank everyone who donated a casserole(s) to Joseph House in April. Through your kind generosity we were able to donate 40 casseroles to help Joseph House feed the homeless during the last week of April. For those who signed up for our casserole donation program, and anyone else who would like to contribute a casserole to help feed the homeless during the last week in May we will be collecting them on Thursday May 17th between 2:00 2:30pm on Camden Avenue at 48th Street. If this date/time is not convenient for you or you have any questions, please call Maryanne Hanger at 609-560-4437 or 856-541-6225 to make other pickup arrangements.

LITURGICAL MINISTRIES!
I invite all parishioners to consider being involved in one of the liturgical ministries during our masses. We are in need of Lectors and Eucharistic
Ministers. Please consider being more involved in our Eucharistic celebrations.
If you would like more information please contact Father Ed at the Rectory.

STEWARDSHIP

Stewards of Gifts
"The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own…"ACTS 4:32

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your talents, your abilities and your money - these are all gifts from God! We aren't really owners of anything, we are merely "Stewards" of the gifts God has blessed us with.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Religious Education registration forms are at the Parish House from 9:00am to 4:00pm during the week or by calling the Religious Education Office at 661-9489.

FISHES & LOAVES FOOD PANTRY
As the cold weather takes hold our food pantry could use donations of canned soup, stews, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal and also jelly. We accept all non-perishable items and donations can be left in the pantry box at the church
entrance.

Ongoing Activities:

NEED SACRAMENTS OR INTERESTED IN THE CATHOLIC FAITH?
Perhaps you have been coming to Mass with a relative or friend and have considered becoming Catholic. Perhaps you did not receive all of your Sacraments as a child in the normal course. Perhaps you know someone like this that is spiritually searching? We have just the right program for you! It is called the Rite of Christian for Adults (R.C.I.A.).

Any adult can investigate and proceed to prepare for the reception of the Sacraments in the Catholic Church in a personal and relaxed manner through this program. Please call the rectory for more information.

INCREASED CONFESSION HOURS
Confessions in both English and Spanish are offered Saturdays, after the 4:30pm Mass until the 6:30pm Mass and again after the 6:30pm. Confessions are also offered in English as usual from 3:30pm until 4:30pm Mass.
