OCTOBER 26, 2014 - 30TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
20TH SUNDAY OF PENTECOST
The Fall is here. The misty
turning time when we sense
ending and the change and the
coming fullness of our lives. We
will anoint the sick and the
elderly today when the leaves
are lovely on the trees and we
will salute all those who are
nearing their glory.
ANOINTING SUNDAY
Through this holy anointing
and by God’s most tender
mercy, may God save you and
raise you up through Jesus
Christ.
Amen!

November 1st. Morning Prayer

By asking “which commandment in the law is the
greatest,” the Pharisees reveal an attitude toward law
far different from that of Jesus. Instead of limiting the
demand of the law as the Pharisees do to discrete commandments that are kept or not, Jesus teaches that the
demand of the law embraces the totality of our relationships with God, self, and neighbor. Love defines
our relationships; love is the wellspring of obedience
to any commandment. Love is the greatest commandment because it truly is the whole Law of God.

MEN OF THE HEART RETREAT
30 men attended the 10th Annual Men’s

Briscoe, Mike Newell, Sean Dougherty, and Ben
Hill. Many thanks to the women who served
lunch: Edna LoMonico and Pam Coumbe.
Thanks especially to Brother Mickey McGrath!
God bless the work of his hearts and hands!
THE SHIPYARD & MARITIME MUSEUM
It is in a way miraculous that the Church of Holy
Savior was built of ballast stone borne to Philadelphia on ships that having delivered their cargo to
various ports around the world, now needed
weight to lower them more deeply and more
safely in the sea. Isn’t it amazing that this church
buildt of theses sea-giving stones would one day
be a museum devoted to shipping on the sea.
Space is being readied for the maritime artifacts
but the buildings are well worth seeing. When
Michael Lang and Michael Doyle considered the
museum, we were looking back at what was in
navigation but in time, Jim Cummings of Urban
Promise Schools in Camden, set up a basement at
the church buildings to house a shop for the building of small boats by young people. You will be
delighted to see this. Like a true Irishman, I was
looking back into the past but the museum is also
sailing into the future.
In the Church of Holy Savior at Broadway and
Viola, one block from Sacred Heart is creating
two special visitations to it on Sunday, November 16th. The congregation of 8:30 Mass will
walk down at the end of Mass at approximately 10
AM. The 10:30 congregation are invited at approximately 12 Noon. Everyone is asked to plan
on coming to this great event. This is the reason
why I am writing these segments to prepare you to
enjoy your visit.
THE SATURDAY WITH TWO WEDDINGS
We never got back to them after saying “more
next week!” On Saturday, October 4, 2014, Michael Doyle presided over two wedding:
Loretta McPheeters married Charles Daniel
Trimble at Sacred Heart Church, Camden, NJ. In
attendance there were people from: Cuba, Bangladesh, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Saudi
Arabia (mother of bride), Florida, Iowa, California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Arizona, New York, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Minnesota, Maine, Virginia,
Texas, and Connecticut. Never before seen here!
Thanh Nhan Bui married James Ryan Paz at St.
Rose of Lima in Haddon Heights. Thanh was baptized here, First Holy Communion here, graduated
from Sacred Heart School.
May God’s special blessing be on both couples all
their lives!
Camden and the world. Gathering
around God’s table every Sunday, we
celebrate that Christ is Risen and
ultimately all is well.
