Dear Friends in Christ, I give thanks to the Lord that we had a beautiful parish mission. The number of people who attended was wonderful and I received so many messages of gratitude for the mission. Father Bill Garrott was outstanding and he gave us so much to think about with his unique musical way of sharing the message. As usual, I am so grateful to the choir for singing at the closing Mass and to all who attended some of the days, if not all. I am grateful to our Spirituality and Special Events Committees who discerned the need for a parish mission and for providing the opportunity for fellowship. In a special way, I thank Father Chris Mann for organizing and carrying out the details that allowed this parish mission to be so special. Jesus wants to give us so much and we need to be tuned in to His grace. Father Bill mentioned the noise that keeps us from listening to the quiet voice of God. May the parish mission be like fertilizer that foments spiritual growth at Infant Jesus Parish. Fidelity to Jesus through our Catholic faith is essential for true life and peace; thus, I am grateful for the many graces given to us all during the four evenings in prayer. May God reign in our hearts! God bless you, Father Szolack Family Prayer Crucifix for Vocations GOD BLESS AMERICA!

MARGARET REGIONAL SCHOOL CLASSROOM HIGHLIGHTS Mrs. Kalley Petito – Grade 1 Mrs. Petito has taught at St. Margaret Regional School for 15 years. Mrs. Petito enjoys helping her young students understand the importance of caring for others. She teaches her students that Jesus cared for those in need and those who were sick. Mrs. Petito’s class collects small personal care items and the students spend an afternoon putting the items into small decorated bags along with a handmade card. These care bags are delivered to the Ronald McDonald House in Camden. The bags are a welcome gift to the families who reside there during their child’s medical treatment. The students enjoy working on this project because they know they are helping a family in need of care and prayers. During the month of November, Mrs. Petito talks with her students about the many blessings God has given each one of them. She works with her students to make and decorate prayer cards that can be shared with their family on Thanksgiving Day. Please remember Mrs. Petito and the students of class 1A in your prayers this week. COLLEGIUM CENTER FOR FAITH AND CULTURE Located at 301 White Horse Pike, Haddon Heights, NJ 08035.
