Everyone has a calling. Whether it is as a mother or father, as a doctor or as a teacher, our calling is the way that we bring about God's plan for our lives and the lives of those we serve. When we speak of fulfilling God's calling in our lives, we often use the word vocation. Today I want to share a bit about my vocation and how I came to discern that God was calling me to follow him as a priest.
I grew up here in South Jersey. Throughout elementary school, my family attended Mass together each Sunday and my brother and I were altar servers at our parish. During my freshman year of high school, my parish started a youth group which I began attending. It was during a youth retreat at the end of that year when I first heard a priest and seminarian talking about their vocations and I first began to think about the priesthood.
Throughout the rest of high school, my thoughts began to shift from "Maybe I could be a priest," to "I want to be a priest." So, as the time came to apply to colleges, it only felt natural for me to apply to the seminary. I was accepted for here in the Camden diocese and began my seminary formation in Fall 2009 at St. Andrew's College Seminary at Seton Hall. Eight years later, it is wonderful to see the end in sight. As many of you know, I will be ordained a deacon on September 28 and, God willing, Deacon Anthony Infanti and I will both be ordained priests next June.
I want to thank everyone for your many prayers for vocations in our diocese. Your prayers are paying off! When I entered the seminary in 2009, we had eight seminarians studying for our diocese. This weekend, our diocese welcomes two new seminarians, giving us 19 seminarians for this upcoming year. God is still calling young men to follow Him as priests! Finally, I would like to invite you all to begin praying that God will call someone from this parish to follow Him as a priest. That is a prayer I am sure He will answer. Seminarian Joshua Nevitt

Stewards Follow
“He said, “Come”. Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.”
- MATTHEW 14:29 When you hear Jesus calling, do you respond immediately and trust that He knows what He’s doing? If so, you are walking on water! When we say “yes” to Jesus, we are acting as his Stewards and feel the power of his presence in our lives. We can feel the freedom it gives us! Listen how Jesus is calling you to live the extraordinary life He has in mind for you.
August 5-6, 2017: Offertory Collection: $14,051.00
The demands of family can be so overwhelming we feel walking on water would be easier. When Jesus was pressured, He dismissed everyone, so he could be “by himself and pray.” When overwhelmed and stressed, go to a quiet place and surrender your pressured feelings to the Lord using Peter’s prayer in today’s gospel: “Lord, save me.”
ALTAR SERVER TRAINING There will be new altar server training held at St. Teresa of Avila Church from Monday, August 14 until Friday, August 18. The training will be held from 10 AM until 12:15 PM. This training session is for kids who want to serve at Immaculate Conception Church and St. Teresa of Avila Church. All new candidates MUST have their First Communion done. We also ask that ALL altar servers, new and current be present on Friday, August 18th at St. Teresa of Avila. There will be a separate training session for St. Mary’s altar servers in the fall. More information to follow…
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION RECTORY GIFT SHOP Did you know we have a gift shop at the Immaculate Conception Church rectory? It’s open almost every day from 9 AM to 6 PM. We have bibles, rosaries, prayer books, statues, medals and chains, candles and holy water and many other items at very reasonable prices. Any of the priests and staff will be very happy to help you.

KEEP ON DONATING YOUR SHOP RITE REGISTER
TAPES! Thank you for continuing to donate your Shop Rite register tapes. Remember that every week, the Parish of the Holy Cross receives a check from Shop Rite for 1% of the total dollar amount of these tapes (minus sales tax). Recently, the Parish has been receiving an average of $200 a week from these receipts and the more receipts you donate, more money will be donated to the Parish, so keep them coming! We are collecting only tapes from Bottino’s Shop Rites (Shop Rite of Upper Deerfield, Millville and Delsea). Tapes must total a minimum of $10.00; tobacco items, gift cards and prescriptions are excluded. Tapes may be put in the collection basket or they can be dropped off at the parish office.

CENTENNIAL OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA 1917-2017: THE STORY OF THE MIRACLES...
This is the sixteenth part of a series that chronicles the story of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima to remind our parishioners to
celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the miracles at Fatima. Our Lady warned that WWI would end, but unless people did not stop offending God, a worse one would break out during the pontificate of Pius XI. “When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that this is the great sign given to you by God that He is about to punish the world for its crimes, by means of war, famine and persecutions of the Church and of the Holy Father (This sign is now known to be an aurora borealis which was so great that it illuminated the skies of Europe on January 25-26, 1938).” To prevent this, She asked for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the first Saturday of every month. “If my request is not heeded, Russia shall spread her errors throughout the earth, causing wars and persecutions of the Church.” To be continued… Mark your Calendar: Rosary Rally, Oct. 14 at noon

LA ESQUINA DEL PASTOR
Todos tienen una vocación. Sea como una madre o un padre, como un doctor o como maestro(a), nuestra vocación es la manera en la que nosotros ocasionamos el plan de Dios para nuestras vidas y las vidas de aquellos que servimos. Cuando hablamos de cumplir el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas, seguido usamos la palabra “vocación.” Hoy, me gustaría compartir con ustedes sobre mi vocación y como llegue a discernir que Dios me estaba llamando para seguirlo como sacerdote.
Me crie aquí en el sur de Nueva Jersey. Durante mis años de educación primaria, mi familia asistía a la Misa cada domingo y mi hermano y yo éramos monaguillos en nuestra parroquia. Durante mi primer año de preparatoria (high school), mi parroquia inició un grupo de jóvenes al que yo empecé a asistir. Fue en un retiro juvenil al final de ese año cuando escuché a un sacerdote y un seminarista platicando sobre sus vocaciones y ahí fue cuando comencé a pensar sobre el sacerdocio.
A lo largo de mis años de preparatoria (high school), mis pensamientos cambiaron de “Tal vez, pueda ser un sacerdote” a “Quiero ser un sacerdote.” Entonces, cuando vino el tiempo de aplicar a las universidades, fue muy natural para mi aplicar al seminario. Fui aceptado aquí en la diócesis de Camden e inicié mi formación seminarista en el otoño del 2009 en el colegio seminario de San Andrés en la universidad de Seton Hall. Es muy bello ver el final ocho años después. Como muchos de ustedes ya saben, seré ordenado como diácono el 28 de septiembre y con la voluntad de Dios, el diácono Anthony Infanti y yo seremos ordenados sacerdotes el próximo junio.
Me gustaría agradecer a todos por sus muchas oraciones para las vocaciones en nuestra diócesis. ¡Sus oraciones están dando resultados! Cuando entré al seminario en el 2009, teníamos ocho seminaristas estudiando para nuestra diócesis. Este fin de semana, nuestra diócesis le da la bienvenida a dos seminaristas nuevos, dándonos 19 seminaristas para el año que viene. ¡Dios aún sigue llamando a muchachos jóvenes para seguirlo como sacerdotes! Finalmente, me gustaría invitarles a empezar a orar a Dios para que Él pueda llamar a alguien de esta parroquia para seguirlo como sacerdote. Estoy seguro de que Él responda a esta oración.
Seminarista Joshua Nevitt ENTRENAMIENTO PARA MONAGUILLOS NUEVOS Habrá entrenamiento para los monaguillos nuevos en la Iglesia de Santa Teresa de Ávila desde el lunes, 14 de agosto hasta el viernes, 18 de agosto.

Nosotros les damos la bienvenida a todos para que vengan a dar alabanza y gracias a Dios. Mediante la celebración de la Eucaristía y los otros sacramentos y devociones de la Iglesia, nosotros extendemos la mano en la misericordia y la compasión y compartimos la alegría del Evangelio por toda nuestra gran comunidad. Aquí, con el apoyo, la fortaleza e inspiración que recibimos los unos de los otros, estamos alimentados diariamente en nuestra jornada de fe.

“Él dijo:" Ven ". Pedro salió del barco y comenzó a caminar sobre el agua hacia Jesús. "
- MATEO 14:29 Así Cuando escuchas a Jesús llamando, ¿respondes inmediatamente y confías en que Él sabe lo que está haciendo? Si es así, ¡estás caminando sobre el agua! Cuando decimos "sí" a Jesús, sentimos el poder de su presencia en nuestras vidas. ¡Podemos sentir la libertad que nos da! Escucha cómo Jesús te está llamando a vivir la vida extraordinaria que Él tiene en mente para ti.

CENTENARIO DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE FÁTIMA 1917-2017: LA HISTORIA DE LOS MILAGROS…
Esta es la decimosexta parte en la serie de relatos que cuentan la historia de las apariciones de Nuestra Señora de Fátima para
recordar a nuestros feligreses de la celebración del centenario de los milagros en Fátima.
Nuestra Señora advirtió que la Primera Guerra Mundial llegaría a su fin, pero a menos que la gente dejara de ofender a Dios, una guerra peor podría estallar durante el pontificado de Pio XI. “Cuando vean una noche iluminada por una luz desconocida, sepan que esta es la gran señal otorgada por Dios que quiere decir que Él castigará al mundo por sus delitos a través de la guerra, el hambre y las persecuciones de la Iglesia y el Santo Padre (Esta señal es conocida como una aurora boreal que fue tan grande que llegó a iluminar el cielo de Europa durante el 25 y 26 de enero de 1938).” Para evitar todo esto, Ella pidió la consagración de Rusia a su Inmaculado Corazón y la Comunión de Reparación en el primer sábado de cada mes. “Si mi petición no se escucha, Rusia divulgará sus errores por toda la tierra, causando guerras y persecuciones de la Iglesia.” Más a continuación… Marquen sus Calendarios: Mitin para el Rosario, 14 de octubre al mediodía.

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks
on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
