Join us in Prayer for the Passing of Pope Francis

STATEMENT OF THE BISHOP OF CAMDEN ON THE DEATH OF POPE FRANCIS


“Together with Bishop Emeritus Dennis Sullivan, the priests, deacons, religious, and faithful of the Diocese of Camden, I join in mourning the passing of Pope Francis. We pray that after completing his 88-year pilgrimage of faith on this earth, he may return to the house of the Father.


Throughout his ministry as universal pastor, Pope Francis – born Jorge Mario Bergoglio – selflessly and untiringly served the Church with the tenderness of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

I will never forget the joy his election as the first Latin American Pope brought to the Latino people I was serving in south Minneapolis, at the time.  They were deeply touched by his simplicity and humility and saw their culture lifted up in his ascension to the See of Peter.


His writings on the joy of evangelization made my heart sing and helped to transform the parishes I served. He wanted pastors to have “the smell of the sheep” and encouraged all the faithful, by word and example, to “go out” to the peripheries of society and the Church with mercy for the troubled and abandoned.  He dreamed of a Church that was poor, transparent, listening and that “walked together.”  I believe he died having brought us closer to that dream.



In every phase of his long life, Pope Francis remained a steadfast follower of Jesus Christ.  May he now enjoy the fullness of the eternal life he so fervently hoped for.  Requiescat in pace.

Amen.

Most Reverend Joseph A. Williams, D.D.

Bishop of Camden

Divine Mercy Sunday - A Day of Great Grace Sunday, April 27 - 3pm @ St Teresa Church

Prayer Service and Confessions

      Divine Mercy Sunday is a very special Sunday when the Divine Floodgates from Heaven are opened wide. Jesus wanted to throw us a lifeline, so to say, by offering a day where we can receive a complete renewal of baptismal grace and a complete cleansing of our soul washing it clean, giving us a chance to renew within our soul all the gifts and grace of the Holy Spirit that we received at our baptism.

     So, please join us next Sunday for a special Prayer Service that will include a Reflection Talk on Divine Mercy, Chaplet of Mercy and Confession. Copies of the Chaplet Prayer will be available. You can also download the prayer on your phone or tablet.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."
 Matthew 28: 18-20 (RSV-CE)
