PASTORAL COUNCIL PASTOR’S REPORT
10 NOVEMEBR, 2014
As reported last month, I met with our parishioners who
attended the workshop last May conducted by the authors
of the book Rebuilt. We are reviewing the minutes from
this last meeting to consider our next steps in providing
recommendations for the Pastoral Council as we work
together to enable our parish to grow.
Deacon Bob has begun to minister to the residents at
Vineland Developmental Center. He reports that there
were approximately 20 residents in attendance along with
their caregivers. The service consisted of a brief Liturgy of
the Word including a homily and a blessing with holy
water. The facility cafeteria provided cookies and drinks
and the Hoffman’s of Pancoast Funeral Home provided
prayer cards for the occasion.
Many thanks to Deacon Frank for his excellent leadership
of the Parish Wine Tasting. Thanks as well go to the
excellent committee who has worked to prepare for yet
another spectacular wine tasting event. This year’s event
will be held at the Greenview Inn on Friday, 21 November
from 6-10 PM. This is one of the social highlights of the
parish’s year. I hope to see as many parishioners there as
possible.
Preparatory conversations continue with several of our
parish nurses. They are exploring possibilities and needs
to help us develop a strong program of parish nursing here
at Christ the Good Shepherd.
I have confirmed the dates of 22-25 March for a Lenten
Mission with Sister Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S. Sister
is the Director of the Institute of Liturgical Ministry in
Dayton, Ohio. She is nationally recognized and a highly
respected liturgist, author, professor of liturgy and
workshop facilitator. The title of the mission is Journey to
New Life. I have asked our Staff to be mindful of this
special moment in the life of the parish, and to avoid all
conflicts of schedule during these days of mission so that
all of us can enjoy Sr. Joyce’s presentations with as little
distraction as possible.

sponsoring the Vineland Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service on
Wednesday, November 26, at 7:00 pm at Christ the Good
Shepherd Parish at St. Isidore the Farmer Church. Please
join members of the Vineland Faith Community as we give
thanks to God for all that he has given us and pray for those in
need in our community.
To prepare for the celebration, we need volunteers to make
desserts … cakes, pies, or whatever your specialty is … for the
fellowship in the Parish Hall after the service. If you would like to
help by making a dessert, please sign up on the sheets in the
Gathering Space at St. Isidore’s or the tables at the doors at
Sacred Heart Church. Also, if you would like to help in the
kitchen on the night of the Service, please call Carol Bassetti at

THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31
An encomium for a good and worthy wife, this passage from
Proverbs extols all the virtues which a worthy wife possesses –
fidelity, industriousness, skill, charity to the poor, and fear of the
Lord.
Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6
Once again, Paul reassures the Thessalonians, who are anxious
about the coming of Christ, that they need not fear being
unprepared because they are “children of light.”
Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30
Jesus narrates the parable of the talents – in the story, the silver
pieces given to the three men. Two of the men invest their coins
and double their worth, but the third buries his coins in the
ground and earns no return. The message of Jesus is that we
must use to the fullest the talents we have received.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were

us to waste or hoard the gifts He has given us; He expects us to
grow our gifts, use them wisely and be generous with them.

parish totaled:
