They are not locked in as if in prison; rather, they have chosen to marinate in fear. Both the lock and the key stand on their side of the door, in their control. Christ breaks through this significant barrier with a message of “Peace.” The risen Lord’s word propels them through the door and along the path leading to the consoling image of the community living in harmony in the first reading today. What do we pray for in our tradition? More than anything else, we pray for peace. Every Mass is an earnest prayer for peace with God, with self, with neighbor, and for peace in the world. Yet, curiously, the peace Christ offers is deeper than the mere absence of conflict. Our tradition treasures the memories of saints who were remarkably open to Christ’s gift of peace even in the maelstroms of history. St. Edith Stein and St. Maximillian Kolbe, martyrs of the Holocaust, are but two examples. At the eye of a fearful storm, they stand as witnesses to the power of Christ’s rising in our lives. Rev.

Parishes and schools throughout the diocese collected 121,339 pounds of food - 20% higher than our goal and 55% higher than last year’s total.” ... “The faithFull Food Drive was a positive response to the needs of our brothers and sisters thanks to the effective work of many individuals and groups. Parish ministries, from the Society of St Vincent de Paul to youth groups, to Knights of Columbus, collaborated to involve entire parish communities in the drive. Catholic schools participated creatively: for example, several high schools collected canned goods for admission to basketball games...” A really inspiring act of charity during the Lenten Season.

Hoagie Sale The 8th grade in St Teresa Regional School is raising funds for their graduation year activities. They will be selling hoagies after Masses on April 19th. Cost is $5 and there is no need to order ahead of time. Just come prepared to purchase them next week. Mmmmm Many of us see these logos on the items we purchase. YOU can help the children in our school by cutting them off whatever you purchase that has one. You can deposit them in the collection bin in the vestibule of each church or simply drop them in the collection basket each week. A volunteer parent from the school will collect and submit them for cash. Every ten of them is worth $1.00 to the school. Please help support STRS and the children. What are they? Grocery Certificates are used to purchase groceries at Acme or Shop Rite. They are available in denominations of: $10 $50 $100. How does it work? Instead of paying cash or check when you check-out at either market, you pay by using Grocery Certificates. Grocery Certificates are for sale after each weekend Mass and on Saturday mornings from 10 - 11 am in the Parish Office. Or, call the Parish Office at 856-939-1681 to make an appointed time if the scheduled times do not work for you. You can purchase the cards with cash or check. The GREAT NEWS is 5% of every Certificate purchase is returned to our Parish. That can really add up. If 100 families purchase $100 in Certificates for 52 weeks, our parish’s 5% is $26,000.00!!!!! How can I help? -Support the program by buying Grocery Certificates to do your food shopping. We all food shop, so why not? Sure, it may take a minute to buy them after Mass, but the return to your parish is huge. -Support the program by volunteering to sell the Grocery Certificates after Mass. Call 856-939-1681 to volunteer.
