AINTS &
SOULS
November is with us with its
melancholy call to re-member
all those who have died. It
begins with the Feast of All
Saints and All Souls basically
and delightfully calling us to
honor in our remembrance our
favorite saints, our favorite
loved ones, and all who have
gone before us. Today is a holy,
holy day, honoring all who have
gone before us, the saints well
known and the unknown, the
countless millions whose dust
sanctifies the earth we walk on,
the land and water that feed our
lives. Saved let each one be!
Blessed may each one be!
Let us all rejoice in God and
keep a festival in honor of all
the saints. Let us join with the
angels in joyful praise to God.

THE “WE REMEMBER” BOOK
This memorial book, bearing the
names of people buried from
Sacred Heart in recent years, is
being carried to the shrine altar
these Sundays in November in
memory of loved ones who have
died this past year. Today, at the
8:30 Mass, Irene Paxson is carrying forward the book in memory of her mother, Mary Lou
Kraemer (she made the cover
of the book) who died on December 15, 2013; and at the
10:30 Mass, Margaret O’Donnell in memory of her spouse,
Jimmy O’Donnell who died on
April 20, 2014. May they rest in
peace! Tis lovely and holy!
NOVEMBER IS CERTAINLY HIS MONTH
With his grandfather’s and his own
birth on November 3rd,
(TOMORROW!) his baptism on
November 4th, his beloved sister’s
(Anna Mae Doyle) death on
November 6th, his mother’s (Rosetta
Creegan Doyle) birth on November 9th, Michael
Doyle will also celebrate 40 years at Sacred
Heart next week, November 11th! May God be
with you, Michael, as you journey through this
holy time!
ANNA MAE DOYLE
Sister Mary Concepta in religious life...a
nurse, a Sister of Mercy, the daughter of
Rosetta Creegan and John Doyle, the sister of Michael Doyle, died on November
6, 1975...39 years ago on Thursday!
Struck while walking by a car driving in the rain
with only one windshield wiper! “Where this is no
vision, the people perish!” We all think we know
her well. Her sweet smile and Michael’s memories keep her alive in all our hearts. May she rest
in peace!
NEW GRANGE IN CAMDEN 2014!
We saw the morning sun shine down
Ferry Avenue through the front doors of
the church and onto the altar this week!
GLORIOUS on Monday and Tuesday! (Phyllis
and Johnny O’Reilly witnessed it before leaving
for Ireland!) AWESOME on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! RAIN Saturday (Sean Dougherty
arrived stating: It’s a terrible day, thanks be to
God!) This year we certainly praise God and say:
O God, How Great Thou Art!
INSPITE OF HEAVY RAIN
30 people gathered for Mass yesterday morning to
celebrate All Saints Day! We remembered Tom
Gough on his 14th anniversary. Judy Gough
Volpe, and Tom’s sister and her daughter came a
distance to be with us! May he rest in peace!
RICHARD “DICK” MCCARTHY ( 1917 - 2014)
A husband, a father, a deacon. He was born at
home in the Bronx on January 10, 1917, an important day because Alice Paul of Moorestown led
her first picket of the White House demanding the
right to vote for women. He and Dorothy were
married in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York
City by Fr. George Guilfoyle who in 1976,
(Bishop George Guilfoyle) ordained Richard as a
deacon for the Camden Diocese. Dorothy and
Dick were blessed with six children. He was a
most faithful Catholic, and a great Vincent de Paul
man. Service was his middle name. A friend of
Michael Doyle for 50 years. Eternal rest to him!
