“I have chosen and consecrated this house, says the Lord, that my name may be there forever.”
2 Chronicles 7:16
Dear Parishioners and Pilgrims to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish-Shrine,
In this week’s letter I would like to address two aspects of an important ministry within
our parish community. The ministry about which I’d like to write is our parish
Bereavement Ministry. Bereavement or grief is a natural part of the human experience
of loss. There are many types of losses that affect us: loss of a loved one through
physical death, loss of health, loss of a beloved pet or a job or having to move from our home. The list is
long and diverse because loss takes many forms. In the recent past, this ministry within our parish has
helped many of us to cope with and navigate through the many stages of grief and loss. Once again, we
will be hosting a series of small group gatherings for folks who are going through some type of loss. The
gatherings will begin on Tuesday, November 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Our Lady of Grace Chapel located
in the St. Juan Diego Parish Center in Lindenwold (former St. Lawrence School library). The meetings
will be facilitated by Mr. Bill Hughes, a parishioner who is trained for this ministry and has facilitated
past gatherings. If you may not feel the need to meet at this time, perhaps you know someone who might
benefit from this gathering. Please invite them to at least attend the first session to see what the
experience is like. Please contact Bill directly to let him know that you will be attending. He can be
reached at 856-435-2025. I urge you to prayerfully consider attending this gathering if you feel alone in
your sense of loss and grief. It is so important to realize that we are not alone in this experience and that
loss is a part of life and grief comes with loss along with many other emotions and feelings. So once
again, please reach out and seek assistance that is non-threatening, faith based, confidential and healing.
Secondly, I’d like to mention that there are many other components to assisting one another
through the process of grief and mourning that comes from loss. Perhaps you have the time and interest to
be a person who can assist a fellow parish family experiencing grief and loss. There are many other
components to bereavement ministry beyond the confidential, small group gatherings. We are seeking
folks who might be able to send a card and help us to maintain ongoing contact with a grieving family
after their loss simply to let them know that the parish is praying with and for them. You wouldn’t need
to speak or counsel, simply send a card with the quick note from the parish. Maybe you would like to
assist in planning the annual All Soul’s Mass for parishioners who have died during the current year.
These are just a few more ways that we can assist our brothers and sisters in their experience of loss.
If you would be interested in helping in this way, please give Bill Hughes a call or contact Fr. Jon or
myself and we’d be happy to discuss this need with you.
I am very convinced that real and true parish ministry doesn’t happen just because we have
programs and titles and meetings. Real and meaningful ministry occurs every time we reach out to others
within our faith community with Christ like compassion and care. We all need to face loss and grief at
some point and we all need to know that we are not alone in this experience. The great thing about
experiencing loss and grief as a Christian is knowing that when God and faith are invited into this human
experience, we are given hope and can trust that grief and loss never have the last word but Jesus Christ
does.
Thanks for being with us this weekend, you are very welcome among us and please be assured of
our thoughts and prayers now and always.
God bless you,
Fr. Joe

The saints came marching in to honor All Saints Day at St. John Paul II School! All first grade students dressed as their patron saint and
shared facts about the saint’s life with fellow the student body and parishioners. The students gained valuable research, writing, and public
speaking skills with this experience. Most importantly, they learned more about what our Catholic saints did for their faith and that we are
all called to be saints as well!
We thank our parishioners, Mrs. Junikka and Mrs. Shelley sharing their knowledge and time with our second grade students with their
Sea Shell Program. Students learned and examined what shells are and other facts as well as how to identify the shell type based on clues.
Students made fossil-like imprints of the shells to decorate and bring home.
All our students truly enjoyed this experience.

Did you know that Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish offers ministry for youth every Sunday evening,
year-round? It’s an opportunity dozens of students have used to learn more about the Catholic faith and to
enjoy the last couple of hours of the weekend with friends new and old. We meet in the gym of St. Lawrence
School on the White Horse Pike under the experienced leadership of Cathy Williams and Rob Knight from
6:30 -9 PM. Other team members include Sean Williams, Spencer Barber, and Fr. Jon.
Beginning this month, we’re offering two simultaneous tracks, one for middle school students and one for high
school students.
6:30-7 p.m. All students gather in the gym for opening prayer
7-8 p.m. Middle and high school tracks meet in different locations for
age-appropriate presentations, activities, and discussions
8-9 p.m. All students gather in the gym for a snack and large group activity
Your middle or high school student – whether attending public or Catholic school or home-schooled – is invited
to join us next Sunday at 6:30 p.m. This ministry is offered to all youth of the parish. There are no “membership”
expectations and we know that family schedules will mean that students will sometimes arrive late or leave
early. We hope students will enjoy the experience and make youth ministry part of their weekend routine, but
students are free to attend as their schedule allows.
You Lost Me Small Group
The You Lost Me small group will bring together parishioners of various ages for a conversation between generations on
Faith, Doubt, Sex, Science, Culture, and Church.
From the cover:
“Identifying a problem is not a solution. But starting a conversation is the beginning of restoration."
“In You Lost Me, the bestselling coauthor of un-Christian trained his researcher’s eye on Christians ages 18 to 29,
exposing why they leave the church and rethink their faith. With this insightful and honest DVD, you and your small group
can connect across generational lines, discuss the most pressing faith issues of our day, and begin the process of building up
the next generation of Christ followers."
“This DVD and the accompanying discussion guide will help you understand why the next generation often sees the church as
overprotective, shallow, anti-intellectual, exclusive, repressive, and intolerant of doubt. You’ll hear the voices of young people who want to be part of a community of faith but have been marginalized by the church. And you’ll
discover loving, biblical ways to reconnect to them with kindness, compassion, and humility."
“If you care about the future of the church, you don’t want to miss You Lost Me.”
The small group will meet for one hour a week over six weeks. After introductions, we’ll begin each hour with watching a 10
to 12 minute DVD presentation, then follow the discussion guide to share our reactions. The small group is meant to be transformative – for the participants and for the parish.
Sessions include
(1) Overprotective
(2) Shallow
(3) Anti-science
(4) Repressive
(5) Exclusive
(6) Doubtless
Starting on a Weeknight in January
