Preparing For Pentecost Sunday

Next Sunday the Church celebrates Pentecost Sunday, the coming of the Holy Spirit and the Birthday of the Church. Together let’s celebrate the great gift of the Holy Spirit and continue to evangelize and share the joy of the Gospel. Here are some suggestions: Wear something Red on Pentecost Sunday: Red is the color of the Holy Spirit. Our priests and deacons will wear red vestments next weekend and I encourage you to also wear red. Allow your outer garments to be a sign of the work of the Holy Spirit within you. Let’s turn the parish red for Pentecost! Invite someone to Mass next weekend: All of us know someone who has fallen away from the faith and for one reason or another has stopped coming to Mass. All of us know someone, perhaps they are not Catholic, who do not have God in their life at all. Call upon the Holy Spirit for the courage to invite someone to Mass with you next weekend. Allow the Lord to work through you. What a gift that is, to lead a person to encounter the love and mercy of Jesus the Lord. Speakers from the Convocation of Catholic Leaders: At all our Masses next week I invited parishioners who attended the Convocation of Catholic Leaders to speak briefly at our Masses. They will share with you the joy they felt and the call to become more involved in our parish and to encourage others also to become more involved in the life of our parish. How can you serve? Pray to the Holy Spirit for the grace to serve our parish in some way. There are many opportunities to serve the Lord at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Shrine. Join us for the Anointing of the Sick Mass: Next Sunday, June 9th, we will also celebrate a Mass for the Anointing of the Sick at 2:30 in St. Lawrence Church. Please join us and invite a neighbor or family member who has a need of this Healing Sacrament. God Bless you and your family, Come Holy Spirit,

enlighten our hearts, Father Vince

Preparando para el Domingo de Pentecostés El próximo domingo la Iglesia celebra el domingo de Pentecostés, la venida del Espíritu Santo y el cumpleaños de la Iglesia. Juntos, celebremos el gran don del Espíritu Santo y continuemos evangelizando y compartiendo la alegría del Evangelio. Aquí hay algunas sugerencias: Usar algo rojo el domingo de Pentecostés: el rojo es el color del Espíritu Santo. Nuestros sacerdotes y diáconos llevarán vestimentas rojas el próximo fin de semana y les animo a que también usen algo rojo. Permita que sus vestiduras exteriores sean un signo de la obra del Espíritu Santo dentro de usted. ¡Vistamos la parroquia roja para Pentecostés! Invite a alguien a misa el próximo fin de semana: todos conocemos a alguien que se ha alejado de la fe y por una razón u otra ha dejado de asistir a misa. Todos conocemos a alguien, quizás no es un católico, que no tienen a Dios en sus vidas, pídale al Espíritu Santo el valor de invitar a alguien a misa junto a usted el próximo fin de semana. Permite que el Señor actué a través de usted. Qué regalo es eso, de llevar a una persona a encontrar el amor y la misericordia de Jesús el Señor. Conferenciante de la Convocación de Líderes Católicos: En todas nuestras Misas, la próxima semana invité a los feligreses que asistieron a la Convocación de Líderes Católicos a hablar brevemente en nuestras Misas. Ellos compartirán con ustedes la alegría que sintieron y el llamado a involucrarse más en nuestra parroquia y animar a otros a envolverse más en la vida de nuestra parroquia. ¿Cómo pueden servir? Ore al Espíritu Santo por la gracia de servir a nuestra parroquia de alguna manera. Hay muchas oportunidades para servir al Señor en el Santuario Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Únase a nosotros para la Misa de la Unción de los Enfermos: el próximo domingo 9 de junio, también celebraremos una Misa por la Unción de los Enfermos a las 2:30 en la iglesia de San Lorenzo. Únase a nosotros e invite a un vecino o familiar que necesite este Sacramento de sanación.

Dios le bendiga a usted y su familia, Espíritu Santo,

ilumina nuestros corazones, Padre Vicente

Our Lady of Guadalupe Mass of the Anointing of the Sick

Our Parish will have a Mass of the Anointing of the Sick on

Pentecost Sunday, June 9, at St. Lawrence Church, at 2:30 pm. Please inform family members and friends. The Sacrament of

Anointing is appropriate for those whose health is seriously impaired by sickness or advanced age.

Nuestra Señora De Guadalupe Misa de Unción de los Enfermos

Tendrá en Nuestra parroquia una misa de Unción de los

Enfermos, el domingo de Pentecostés, el 9 de junio, en la iglesia de St. Lawrence, a las 2:30 pm. Por favor, dígale a familiares y

amigos. El Sacramento de la Unción es adecuado para aquellos cuya salud se ve seriamente en condición grave sea por

enfermedad o edad avanzada.

PENTECOST SUNDAY – WEAR YOUR RED – INVITE SOMEONE TO MASS

Pentecost Sunday is the weekend of June 8th and 9th, and we

celebrate the birthday of the Church and the fire of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. Pentecost is a special time to once again

recognize that the Holy Spirit IS with you and inspires you to continue the work of the first disciples. We do this by our

involvement in the church and by sharing the Joy of the Gospel and our faith in Jesus as Our Lord and Savior. The diocese is seeking “to turn the diocese red” by wearing something red to

Mass on Pentecost Sunday. (I suppose even a Phillies shirt will work if it is worn with a faithful spirit). Also, Pentecost is

wonderful opportunity to invite a family member, friend, or neighbor to Mass with you. I pray we can fill our churches on

Pentecost Sunday with a sea of red. Come, Holy Spirit!

HELP WANTED – YOUTH MINISTER

A goal of our Catholic Strong Campaign, and our Joy of the Gospel Team, was to promote youth ministry. With this goal in mine, and thanks to the parishioner’s generosity, the parish now seeks to hire a Part-Time Youth Minister. The applicant must be

an active member of the Roman Catholic Church, with experience in youth ministry and/or certificate or degree in youth ministry.

The position requires recruitment of youth from our school, faith formation program, and large community and the ability to work flexible hours. If you are interested please call the parish office

and ask for our pastor, Father Vince Guest, at 856-627-2222.

10th ANNIVERSARY PARISH CHARM BRACELET

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Our Lady of

Guadalupe Parish, we had designed a Unity Bracelet, consisting of medals representing the churches that make up our

parish. On the bracelet are medals of St. Lawrence, Our Lady of Grace, St. Luke, and Our Lady of Guadalupe. This is not a

fundraiser as we are offering the bracelets essentially at cost, for only $15.00 each. This is a wonderful way to show we are One Parish Family, united in prayer through the intercession of our

Blessed Mother and the Saints. Bracelets may be purchased at the Parish Office.

DOMINGO DEL PENTECOSTÉS - USE ALGO ROJO – INVITA A ALGUIEN A LA MASA

El domingo de Pentecostés es el fin de semana del 8 y 9 de junio, y celebramos el cumpleaños de la Iglesia y el fuego del Espíritu Santo sobre los discípulos. Pentecostés es un momento especial

para reconocer una vez más que el Espíritu Santo ESTÁ con nosotros y nos inspire a continuar el trabajo de los primeros discípulos. Hacemos esto al involucrarnos en la iglesia y al

compartir la alegría del Evangelio y nuestra fe en Jesús como nuestro Señor y Salvador. La diócesis está buscando "volver roja a

la diócesis" vistiendo algo rojo para ir a misa el domingo de Pentecostés. (Supongo que incluso una camisa de los Filis

funcionará si se usa con un espíritu fiel). Además, el Pentecostés es una oportunidad maravillosa para invitar a un miembro de la

familia, amigo o vecino a misa con usted. Ruego para que en este domingo del pentecostés nuestras iglesias se llenen como el mar

rojo. ¡Ven Espíritu Santo!

SE BUSCA AYUDA – MINISTRO DE JÓVENES

Uno de los objetivos de nuestra Campaña Católicos Fuertes, y nuestro Equipo de la Alegría del Evangelio, era de promover el

ministerio juvenil. Con este objetivo y el mío, y gracias a la generosidad de los feligreses, la parroquia ahora busca contratar a

un joven ministro a medio tiempo. El solicitante debe ser un miembro activo de la Iglesia Católica Romana, con experiencia en

el ministerio juvenil y / o certificado o título en el ministerio juvenil. El puesto requiere el reclutamiento de jóvenes de nuestra escuela, el programa de formación en la fe y la gran comunidad y la capacidad de trabajar en horarios flexibles. Si está interesado,

llame a la oficina parroquia y pregunte por nuestro pastor, el Padre Vicente Guest, al 856-627-2222.

PULSERA CON EL ATRACTIVO PARROQUIAL DEL

10º ANIVERSARIO

Para celebrar el décimo aniversario de la parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, diseñamos una pulsera Unidad, que

consiste en medallas que representan a las iglesias que conforman nuestra parroquia. En el brazalete están las medallas de San

Lorenzo, Nuestra Señora de Gracia, San Lucas y Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Esto no es una recaudación de fondos ya que

estamos ofreciendo las pulseras al costo considerable por solo $15.00 cada una. Esta es una manera maravillosa de demostrar

que somos una Familia Parroquial, unidos en oración a través de la intercesión de nuestra Santísima Madre y los Santos. Las

Brazaletes se pueden comprar en la oficina parroquial.

The Parish Gospel Challenge / El Desafío del Evangelio Parroquial

The Acts of the Apostles Reflection Questions for Week 4;

Acts of the Apostles, Chapters 22-28 Chapter 22: When Paul was called, Jesus said: “Why are you persecuting me?” Do you recognize the person of Christ in all you meet? Paul shared his life’s mission with the people. Have you thought about your life’s mission in relation to your faith? Chapter 23: This chapter reads like an adventure novel, as the Jews seek to kill Paul, and some Romans seek to protect him. Do you see that the events of Paul’s life might be a positive influence upon the highest levels of the Roman Empire? How and where can your life be a positive influence in the world today? Chapter 24: Here we learn that Paul spent over two years in prison for preaching about The Way of Jesus. Have you ever been falsely accused by others because of your beliefs? What can Paul teach you? Chapter 25: As an attorney I admire Paul’s defense, do you see that he asserts he is both a faithful Jew and good citizen of the Roman Empire? What do you find most inspiring and motivating about the travels, speeches, and adventures of Paul? Chapter 26: Paul continues to defend himself, this time before King Agrippa. Even at trial, Paul gives witness to Christ. How can you give witness to the Lord in the midst of life’s struggles? If you were on trial for being a Christian would there be sufficient evidence to convict you? Chapter 27: This chapter tells of Paul’s dangerous journey and shipwreck (near present day Malta) as they sail for Rome. Like Jesus, Paul assures all on the ship to have courage, that they will all be safe. Like Jesus, Paul takes bread, gives thanks to God, and share it. Think of your fears and worries and place them in the hand of Jesus, as Paul did. Chapter 28: Paul’s journey is complete as he reaches Rome, the capital of the world at the time. Although a prisoner he is allowed to preach about Jesus to the Jews and all who would listen. The ending of the Acts of the Apostles leaves us hanging because now it is our turn to follow the example of Paul and to call on the Holy Spirit and bravely live our faith in our family and community. What have you learned from reading this book of the Bible? How has the Acts of the Apostles inspired you? Pray to the Holy Spirit, and to Saints Peter and Paul, for faith and courage to proclaim the name of Jesus in our world today.

(Note some of these questions were written with assistance from the Threshold Bible Study: Acts of the Apostles, Part

Two, Chapters 15-28, by Stephen J. Binz.)

Los hechos de los apóstoles Preguntas de reflexiones para la semana 4; Hechos

de los apóstoles, capítulos 22-28

Capítulo 22: Cuando Pablo fue llamado, Jesús dijo: “¿Por qué me persigues?” ¿Reconoces a la persona de Cristo en todo lo que te encuentras? Pablo compartió la misión de su vida con la gente. ¿Han pensado en la misión de sus vidas en relación con tu fe? Capítulo 23: Este capítulo se lee como una historia de aventuras, cuando los judíos buscan matar a Pablo, y algunos romanos buscan protegerlo. ¿Ven que los eventos de la vida de Pablo podrían ser una influencia positiva en los niveles más altos del Imperio Romano? ¿Cómo y dónde puede sus vidas ser una influencia positiva en el mundo de hoy? Capítulo 24: Aquí aprendemos que Pablo pasó más de dos años en prisión por predicar sobre El Camino de Jesús. ¿Alguna vez le han acusado falsamente otros por tus creencias? ¿Qué puede enseñarle Pablo? Capítulo 25: Como abogado admiro la defensa de Pablo, ¿ve que afirma que es un judío fiel y un buen ciudadano del Imperio Romano? ¿Qué es lo que más le inspira y motiva de los viajes, discursos y aventuras de Pablo? Capítulo 26: Pablo continúa defendiéndose, esta vez ante el rey Agripa. Incluso en el juicio, Pablo da testimonio de Cristo. ¿Cómo puedes dar testimonio del Señor en medio de las luchas de la vida? Si fueras a juicio por ser cristiano, ¿habría pruebas suficientes para condenarte? Capítulo 27: Este capítulo habla sobre el peligroso viaje y el naufragio de Pablo (cerca de la actual Malta) mientras navegan hacia Roma. Como Jesús, Pablo asegura a todos en el barco que tengan valor, que todos estarán a salvo. Como Jesús, Pablo toma pan, da gracias a Dios y lo comparte. Piensen en sus temores y preocupaciones y colóquelos en la mano de Jesús, como lo hizo Pablo. Capítulo 28: El viaje de Pablo está completo cuando llega a Roma, la capital del mundo en ese momento. Aunque es un prisionero, se le permite predicar sobre Jesús a los judíos y a todos los que escuchan. El final de los Hechos de los Apóstoles nos deja en suspenso porque ahora es nuestro turno de seguir el ejemplo de Pablo y de invocar al Espíritu Santo y vivir con valentía nuestra fe en nuestra familia y comunidad. ¿Qué han aprendido al leer este libro de la Biblia? ¿Cómo lo han inspirado los Hechos de los Apóstoles? Oremos al Espíritu Santo y a los santos Pedro y Pablo por la fe y la valentía para proclamar el nombre de Jesús en nuestro mundo de hoy.

(Note que algunas de estas preguntas fueron escritas con la

ayuda del Estudio Bíblico de Umbral: Hechos de los Apóstoles, Parte Dos, Capítulos 15-28, por Stephen J.

Another Great Track and Field Season!

Our Track and Field Team had its Championship Meet last Saturday. Girls

fought hard for third place and Boys took fifth place. Coaches are really proud of all the hard

work they put in to the season and the sportsmanship they showed

throughout the season as well. The team also honored our 8th Grade students and wished them well as they head to high school in the

fall. They will be missed!

Students in the Middle School Zoology exploratory discussed and worked with arthropods this week. Arthropods include insects, spiders, and scorpions. They used preserved specimens for labeling and drawing and did research on ipads. It generated some great class discussions. Students also walked away with knowledge of how arthropods are an essential component of creation and their functions in creation.
