Letter From the Parochial Vicar
Dear Friends,
It really is unbelievable how fast our journey through Lent has gone. It seems just like yesterday that we all got
our ashes on Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent and now we are holding Palms on Palm Sunday,
which remind us we are entering into Holy Week. Time really flies.
Of course we know that in addition to the ashes and palms we received on Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday,
our Lent has been marked by a lot of prayer, fasting and almsgiving – three disciplines that helped guide us
through this season and hopefully helped us turn our hearts back to God.
So Palm Sunday leads us into Holy Week and all its celebrations that prepare us for the holiest day of the year
– Easter.
Let’s finish our Lenten journey strong and make this a Holy Week that we really get ourselves ready for Easter.
We have so many opportunities this upcoming week to experience the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Here is the schedule of events we have here at St. Charles for the Triduum:
On Holy Thursday we have the Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 7:00pm followed by adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament.
We will begin Good Friday with Morning Prayer in the Church at 9:00am. This year we will have a priest
available in the Church throughout the day to hear confessions – confession is a great way to prepare our souls
for Easter. We will have an outdoor Stations of the Cross at 12:00pm and our Good Friday Services – the
Celebration of the Lord’s Passion - will begin at 3:00pm. We will then conclude our Good Friday with a
Tenebrae at 7:00pm.
On Holy Saturday we will have Morning Prayer with blessing of Easter food baskets at 9:00am.
And then of course all our Easter celebrations begin with the Easter Vigil at 8:00pm on Saturday night and our
schedule of Easter masses on Sunday morning.
Please come out and join us throughout the week at all these solemn liturgies.
opportunities for us to learn more about the love God has for us.
They are really great
God Bless,
Fr. Chris

We Are Called To Sanctify
ADORATION CHAPEL Come and receive the special outpouring of God’s grace that many of our parishioners have
already experienced by spending time with Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Come and be blessed at your
own convenience. The chapel is open from 6AM until Midnight every day except Sunday: Noon to midnight. If you
would like any information, please contact Marge at 786-0407; Patty at 786-2749 or Bill Gallagher at 609-760-9555.
VOCATION PRAYER CHALICE
Nearly 150 families, including singles and couples have taken the Blessed Chalice into their
homes to pray for vocations once a day for one week. The prayer is furnished. We had one
vocation from our parish in 2014. Several have taken it more than once for a special occasion
in their home. Each weekend, at a Mass of your choice, a parishioner or parish family is called to the sanctuary after
communion to accept the Chalice (or you may take it privately after Mass). The following Saturday the Chalice is
returned to the chapel in Marsh Hall and placed on the altar.
Please find it in your heart to call or volunteer. Thank you.
Please call Pamela and Don Grimme at 856-829-6488
WEEKDAY COMMUNION ANTIPHONS
Monday: Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress. Turn your ear towards me; on the day when I call,
speedily answer me.
Tuesday: God did not spare his own Son, but handed him over for us all.
Wednesday: The Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Holy Thursday: This is the Body that will be given up for you; this is the Chalice of the new covenant in my Blood, says
the Lord; do this, whenever you receive it, in memory of me.

World Meeting of Families
March 2015: Creating the Future
Marriage is meant to be fertile and welcome new
life. Children shape the future, just as they
themselves are shaped in their families. Without
children, there can be no future. Children reared
with love and guidance are the foundation for a
loving future. Wounded children portend a
wounded future. Families are the bedrock for all
larger communities. Families are domestic
churches, places where parents help children
discover that God loves them and has a plan for
each child's life.

We Are Called to Educate
Spotlight on 1B
By Lisa Fonseca
As we welcome the season of spring, our first graders have made great strides, and have
come a long way since the beginning of the school year. We continue on our journey
together and work hard each day, as we get closer and closer to becoming 2nd graders!
In Language Arts, many of us have advanced on to reading chapter books. Some of our
class favorites include The Magic Tree House and Junie B. Jones series. We have also
been working in our reading response notebooks, where we’ve been answering
comprehension questions and answering them in complete sentences. We are writing
summaries of each story we read. In addition, penmanship continues to be a focus, and
our progress really shows as we look through our writing portfolios, which capture our
writing for each month! Each day, we also have a student guest reader, who sits in the
rocking chair and reads a story of their choice to the class.
In Math, our developing reading skills have helped us to tackle word problems. We have
also been learning our addition and subtraction math facts to 20. Currently, we are
starting our chapter on geometry. Each day, part of our morning routine starts with a
student lead the class in our calendar math, where we count and exchange money,
regroup straws, and read an analog clock to the minute.
In Religion, we have been learning all about the liturgical season of Lent and how to
prepare our hearts and minds for Jesus. We have also been learning about the seven
sacraments. So far, we have focused on Baptism and First Penance. We have also
learned many bible stories and how to apply Jesus’ teachings
