Dear Friends,
The Easter season has its own unique spirit. The feeling it presents is somewhat like the calm after the storm. The message
of Christ on the day of His resurrection was PEACE and that is the gift He wants us all to have. But, no doubt, there are many
people whose lives are still restless and confused as were the apostles after they had seen the vision of the Lord. We must not
idealize their situation. The Risen Christ gave these frightened men some reason to hope but they were not quite sure what He
had in mind for them to do. Remember, they were so afraid that they lived until Pentecost behind locked doors. If Easter has
not changed the concrete and practical details of our life and our problems and difficulties still exist, the grace of Easter can
help us face them with renewed spirit, wisdom and calm. The storm of our lives may be still raging but if we cling to Jesus,
we will always find a safe refuge and experience an inner peace.
In our parish there were so many preparations made for Easter that some people have said we should slow the pace and
experience the calm. That is a nice thought but hardly possible to do.
We have now embarked on a very busy time. This past Thursday Bishop Galante announced the new configurations of
parishes within the Diocese. Even though we are not affected in the way others are, we have much to do to continue to foster a
vibrant faith filled community here at St. Charles. This will involve many additional meetings and the support of everyone.
Next weekend at three different Masses our eighth grade students in both the Catholic school and the Religious Education
program will be receiving Confirmation. Bishop Galante has delegated me to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation. The
following week we begin the House of Charity campaign in earnest. The advance phase is already going on but the in-pew
solicitation will occur on April 26 and April 27, 2008. Following up quickly thereafter will be First Communion, weddings
and the Diaconate Ordination of Jonathan Dalin who is one of our parishioners.
So you see just as in ones life the storms of activity never seem to cease; the same situation exists in St. Charles Borromeo
Parish. It is our hope that we never lose Christs Easter PEACE and that in whatever our circumstances might be, we will be
able to break out of all that locks us up from sharing, loving and giving to God and one another.

Sincerely,

176 Stagecoach Road, Sicklerville, NJ 08081 (856) 629-0411 Fax (856) 629-9109

BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE
Recently an article appeared in the Courier
Post with the caption Science, Bible Agree: Its
Better To Give Than Receive. It said that
people who made gifts to others or to charities
reported that they were happier than folks who
did not share. While previous studies have
shown that having more money can increase
happiness, researchers at the Universities of
British Columbia and Harvard wondered if the
way people spent their money made any
difference. From the study it turns out it does.
The lead researcher was struck by how big the
effect was and that how people spend money was
more important than how much money they had.
Personal spending was unrelated to happiness
said the researcher but higher prosocial spending
was associated with significantly greater
happiness.
The Baltimore Catechism once said that God
made us to be happy in this world and the next.
Science and Bible now tell us that the way to
happiness is by giving away what we have.



Exercise Daily walk with the Lord!

VOCATION CROSS
OUR PARISH PRAYS FOR VOCATIONS
It has been a tradition here at St. Charles
Borromeo that each Sunday a family presents
itself at the conclusion of Mass to receive a
Vocation Cross which they are willing to
display in their home during the upcoming week
and pray as a family for vocations to the
priesthood, diaconate and religious life among
the young people of our own parish. Since
September we have substituted the Vocation
Cross for a gold chalice which we presented to
our eighth grade students who are preparing for
Confirmation. It has been a real joy to witness
these eighth graders and their parents coming
forth to commit themselves to pray that God
will raise up men and women for full time
service in His Church.
Now that eighth graders are ready to
receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and all
one hundred and thirty students have had the
chance to display the chalice in their homes, we
are now going back to distributing the Vocation
Cross. If there are any families that would like
to take the Vocation Cross home with them for a
week, we would ask you to please call Mary
McGonigle at 856-227-5478 who will schedule
the time. We do hope that many families will
participate.

had a good time.

We Have the Best Catholic School
St. Charles Borromeo Parish is happy to co-
sponsor a Regional Catholic School. Next year it
will be known by its new name Our Lady of
Hope Regional School. It is presently under the
title and the patronage of St. Jude.
During this past year there has been a
Diocesan School Planning Process involving a
large section of the Diocese. The result of the
planning for our area is that St. Jude and St.
Agnes schools both in Blackwood are to be
merged and hence the reason for the new name
of Our Lady of Hope.
Registration for the 2008-2009 school year
is now underway for K thru 8
th
grade as well
as our Pre-School classes.
For more information about our wonderful
merged schools call the school office at St.
Judes Regional School at 227-4442 between
the school hours of 8:00AM and 3:00PM.

Family Perspectives
In todays gospel the disciples were returning
home so downcast they did not recognize
Jesus walking with them. In our homes we can
also be so overwhelmed we dont see God with
us. Todays gospel tells us to stop each day and
open our eyes to the blessings we are to one
another in our families.

On Being Catholic
The Ambry
During Holy Week of each year, the bishop of
each diocese gathers the clergy and faithful
together at the Chrism Mass. At this liturgy, he
blesses the oils that will be used throughout the
diocese for various prayers and sacramental
celebrations. These oils are stored in three glass
vessels in the Ambry, which at St. Charles is the
glass case which sits on a wooden pedestal to the
right of the Tabernacle. One vessel contains the
Oil of Catechumens for anointing those
preparing for Baptism, another vessel contains
the Oil of Chrism used for anointing those
receiving the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation, and Holy Orders. This oil is also
used in the consecration of altars, churches,
chalices and patens. This symbolizes the union
of the people of God and their buildings and
sacred vessels. Another vessel contains the Oil of
the Sick used in the Sacrament of the Anointing
of the Sick.

"For God's Sake" can be found in the "This is
your Faith" section of the St. Charles website

Meditation: The Gospel reading for the Third
Sunday of Easter tells us about the encounter of
Jesus and the disciples on the way to Emmaus.
After eating with the Lord and listening to him
instruct them, the disciples remarked to each
other that their hearts were burning within them
while he spoke with them and opened the
Scriptures to them. Is your heart burning with a
love of the Lord and an eagerness to learn more
about his Word? Before Pentecost Sunday,
consider reading chapters 14-17 of the Gospel of
St. John. Write down what impressions you get
after reading each chapter. Before going on to
read the next one, write your own prayer about
how each chapter has affected you.

Stewardship Reflection
Stewardship Opens Hearts
As stewards, how often throughout the day do
we seek to find Jesus in our everyday actions?
Stewardship means committing ones very self to
the Lord. Reflect on your everyday
circumstances to find Jesus in all that we are and
do.

Helping our Parish through Faith Direct!
Our parish is always trying to make things
easy for its parishioners. Part of being a member
of this faith filled community is the practice of
stewardship and part of stewardship is the
sharing of ones financial gifts with the parish.
The parish has no other monetary resources than
that which comes from the people. The
buildings have to be maintained, the bills paid
and ministries fostered. All of this comes at a
price and good will offerings are the means to
make it happen.
We are so grateful for the generosity of our
parishioners. So many are making great
sacrifices because of their love for the parish
and their support of what we are trying to do on
behalf of our people. A year and a half ago we
inaugurated a program called Faith Direct to
make it easier to contribute on a regular basis.
Many already participate and we encourage
many more to try it. It is truly a time saver for
those who do and has been a real benefit to the
parish. The Faith Direct experience has become
very popular.
Many are using electronic means for almost
everything, so it makes sense that electronic
giving at the parish level can fit the lifestyle of
our parishioners. Faith Direct gives parishioners
the opportunity to commit week in and week out
a set gift amount to the Church. The Offertory
card that Faith Direct provides also gives each
user and their families the opportunity to
participate in the Offertory Collection taken at
liturgy. There are no security issues with Faith
Direct. It is a safe way to give.
If you would like more information about
Faith Direct please call the Parish Center at 856-
629-0411 or view the information about the
program on our website at saint-charles-
borromeo.org.

HOW TO CELEBRATE EASTERTIME

Catholics celebrate Easter not just on a
single day but throughout the whole year in
different ways. We celebrate the Resurrection
every Sunday as a Little Easter. We especially
celebrate it for the seven weeks of the Easter
season which is considered as a single feast day.
The Easter Season ends on Pentecost
Sunday. We celebrate the Ascension forty days
after Easter. Because the date for Easter changes
every year, as we have noticed how early it is
this year, the days for the other feasts change as
well.
The joy of the Easter season is expressed
through the many Alleluias.

Come Pray our Rosary for Unity
Within Our Diversity!

Our Church embraces members from every part
of the world and people of different classes,
cultures, languages and races. Even with all of
this diversity, we are all in communion with
Christ and are one, "universal" Church. St.
Charles Borromeo parish in its own way
represents the Church's embrace of people from
various cultures. We want to celebrate our
diversity but also our unity as Catholics and
Americans. So we are planning to pray the
Rosary on Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 7:00PM in
a way that celebrates the beautiful ancestries of
our parishioners but unites us as well. What we
plan to do is to say the first half of the prayers of
the Rosary in the various languages of the
countries from which our parishioners originated
and the second half of the prayers in English -
the language of the U. S. For example, a
parishioner who came here from Poland or
whose parents came from Poland would say the
first part of the Hail Mary in Polish and then the
rest of the congregation would complete the Hail
Mary in English. We invite parishioners to "sign-
up" to pray in the language of their ancestry. The
Blessed Mother who has appeared to people all
over the world over the centuries will be honored
to have her prayer said in this beautiful Rosary.
Be part of this prayer by filling out the form
below or calling the Parish Center Office. We
will need to know how many languages will be
used in order to plan the Rosary prayers, so
please sign up early.
