compassionate living out of the Gospel in our daily lives.

Father’s Day Memorial

Remembrance Card/Envelopes

Father’s Day cards/envelopes are available in

the pews, Gathering Space, & Parish office.

Each name (living or deceased) will be

remembered at the Intercessions during a

Mass during the month of June. You may

drop your donation off in the collection

basket during the weekend Masses or at the

Parish office.

We were created for community. Human beings are

not meant to be alone. As each of us grows in our

relationship with Jesus, we find ourselves drawn

further into community. Our stewardship never

reflects just on us, but on the Body of Christ to

which we belong.

When speaking to his Father, Jesus always spoke

about all of us as a whole. Jesus has a unique

relationship with each and every one of us, but

he also sees us collectively as one.

...the Holy Spirit ... ascended upon a multitude,

not just one person at a time.

We are called to live a fruitful stewardship way of

life. It is by that fruit that we can tell if we are really

giving of ourselves in a generous manner. However,

the fruits that result from my stewardship and your

stewardship will never amount to more than what we

can produce together.

As you try ever harder to cultivate what God has

given you and offer it back to Him with an increase,

what does your relationship with your parish

community look like? How has your stewardship

helped enable your community to become a clearer

reflection of God? It is important to reflect on these

things because we can sometimes find ourselves

drifting away from community if we are not careful.

We are always stronger together.

PRAYER TO

THE HOLY

SPIRIT

O Lord Jesus Christ, Who,

before ascending into heaven,

didst promise to send the Holy Spirit

to finish Thy work in the souls

of Thy Apostles and Disciples,

deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to me,

that He may perfect in my soul

the work of Thy grace and Thy love.

Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom

that I may despise the perishable things of this

world and aspire only after the things that are

eternal,

the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my

mind with the light of Thy divine truth,

the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the

surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven,

the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross

with Thee, and that I may overcome with

courage all the obstacles that oppose my salvation,

the Spirit of Knowledge

that I may know God and know myself and grow

perfect in the science of the Saints,

the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service

of God sweet and amiable,

the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a loving

reverence towards God, and may dread in any way

to displease Him. Mark me, dear Lord, with the

sign of thy true disciples and animate me in all

things with Thy Spirit. Amen.

Hey ST. MARY,

GRADUATING

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

CONNECTED TO THE

CATHOLIC CHURCH.

The Newman Connection

High School Outreach

The Newman Center (Connection) would

like to stay in contact with your high school

graduate while he/she is at college. Many

of our high school students can easily “fall

away” from their Catholic faith during

Camden & the Newman Connection wants

to change that! The Newman Connection is

a non-profit organization that works with

Catholic Campus Ministries using a referral

system of connecting graduating high

school students to their Catholic campus

ministry. This allows campus ministers to

contact their incoming students, inviting

them to events or Mass before they arrive

on campus. If you would like the Newman

Connection to reach out to your graduating

high school student this upcoming fall,

please contact Stan Thompson with your

graduating student’s name, email address

and name of campus/college that they will

be attending at (856) 424-0955 or sthomp-

soniii@aol.com.
