God bless our men and women who put their lives on

the line to preserve freedom around the world. We thank

God for our good fortune to be citizens of the USA. We

continue to pray for our men and women overseas

especially, Ryan Berthold, Justin Gousha, Shawn

Jarrell, Becky & Nick Johnson, Brian Schwartz, Rob

Solome, Sarah Turse, and Charity Winkler. If someone

has returned home, we ask that you let us know. Lord,

hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as

they protect us. Bless them and their families for the

selfless acts they perform in our time of need. We

ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

Dear Friends in Christ,

We are now past midway through our Lent. Are we still holding to our spiritual commitments? It

is not a time to back off, but to intensify everything we are doing. Our litmus test is whether our

love for Jesus is growing as well as that for our neighbor. There should be habits that are deepening: perhaps love for

the Sacred Scripture, daily Mass, adoration or acts of charity. Sometimes when we taste something special our desires

grow. The Scriptures say, “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.” It has been said that we should not desire holi-

ness, but will our holiness. How important to accept responsibility so that the grace of Jesus can build on our nature.

Yes, we are weak and hopefully Lent is surfacing just how weak we can be. Prayer, prayer and more prayer is the an-

swer. There are no shortcuts to life with Jesus. So, my friends, let us pray for one another and master our selves even

more so that by the end of Lent, we might understand the sentiments of Saint Terese of the Child Jesus who inspires us

in our weaknesses: “In times of aridity when I am incapable of praying, of practicing virtue, I seek little opportunities,

mere trifles, to give pleasure to Jesus; for instance a smile, a pleasant word when inclined to be silent and to show

weariness. If I find no opportunities, I at least tell Him again and again that I love Him; that is not difficult and it keeps

alive the fire in my heart. Even though this fire of love might seem extinct I would still throw little straws upon the

embers and I am certain it would rekindle.” Stay strong out of love for Jesus.

God bless you,

Father Szolack

Family Prayer Crucifix for Vocations Each week we will see a family receive a

Crucifix to take home for the week to pray

for vocations to the Holy Priesthood and Religious

Life. It is contained in a beautiful handcrafted box

which also serves as a stand for the Crucifix. Prayers to

be used by the host family are on a laminated program

in the box. Every weekend the host family will return

the Crucifix in procession. A new host family will re-

ceive it at the end of Mass. Let us pray for holy voca-

tions to religious life from our parish. If you are pray-

ing over a possible calling, please speak to Father

Szolack.

March 5 to 12 - The Casey family

March 13 to 20 - The Johnston family

Please contact Mrs. Denise Dietrich 215-901-3199 if

you would like your family to receive the crucifix at St.

John Vianney Church. Thank you.

HOUSE OF CHARITY

2016

Our goal here at Infant

Jesus Parish is $160,694.00 - to date we have raised

$75,335.00 from the contributions of only 218 families!

That’s an average gift of over $345.57. Now we invite

all parishioners to participate in this important effort. (If

each or our 3,000 + registered families would each give

$5 - $10 we would easily reach our goal.)

As part of the Jubilee of Mer-

cy, Pope Francis has called

upon all of us to practice the

corporal and spiritual works

of mercy. The first corporal

work of mercy is to Feed the

Hungry. At this time of the

year, many food pantries find themselves with empty

shelves while the requests for food are still great.

In response, the Diocese of Camden is organizing its

third annual faithFULL Food Drive. This Sunday,

March 6, every parish and school in the diocese will be

asked to bring food donations. The food collected by

Infant Jesus Parish will be used by our St. Vincent de

Paul Society to fill the 145 Easter baskets. Last year

we collected 929 lbs. of food. With your help we will

be able to collect even more! Thank you in advance for

your continued generosity.

Braided Palm

Several women of the parish are

making Braided Palm Bouquets.

They are being sold at $20.00 each

and can be ordered by calling the

rectory. Only 100 available, so order

soon. All proceeds benefit our Religious Education

Program.

Gloucester Catholic High School presents "“You're a

Good Man, Charlie Brown" on Thursday, Friday and

Saturday, March 17, 18 and 19 at 7 p.m. and March

19 at 2 p.m. at the Rowan College of Gloucester Coun-

ty Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $12. For tickets and

additional info, call GCHS at (856) 456-4400 or

email mstafford@gchsrams.org.

We will be preparing Easter Food

Baskets for some of the less fortunate

in our community on March 20th in

McKeever Hall. There are tags in the

back of the churches with suggestions for

food items needed for the baskets. Please choose a tag

or two and return the chosen food items by March

20th. Your donations may be left in the back of the

churches in the St. Vincent DePaul bins. If you wish to

donate a ham please bring it to McKeever Hall on

March 20. Please do not leave it in the back of the

church prior to that as we have nowhere to store it. If

March 20th is not convenient please leave a message at

the rectory and someone from Vincent DePaul will

arrange to get the ham from you.

Volunteers are always welcome to help assemble the

baskets and help with deliveries. Baskets will be pre-

pared on March 20th at 8:30AM.
