READINGS MASSES INTENTIONS

READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

First Reading: Isaiah 35:4-7a Isaiah tells the people to be strong and unafraid. God will save his people, and the blind will see, the deaf will hear, and the lame will walk. Streams will come forth in the desert, the sandy ground will become springs of water. Second Reading: James 2:1-5 James encourages the people to never show favoritism. He discusses an usher who escorted a rich man to the best seat, while ignoring a poor man. God chose poor people to be rich in faith, so we should never judge people by their riches. Gospel: Mark 7:31-37 Some people brought a deaf man who could not speak to Jesus and begged him to lay his hand on the man. Jesus opened the man’s ears and cured his speech impediment. He ordered the people not to tell anyone, but they were too amazed to keep this to themselves.

DIOCESE OF CAMDEN Office of Child & Youth Protection

“We can be sure that we love God’s children when

we love God and do what he has commanded.” 1 John 5:2 The Office of Child and Youth Protection is announcing CAP (Child Assault Prevention) sessions. CAP is the safe environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors. Attendance is required in order to comply with the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The policy of the Diocese of Camden is that adults will attend CAP once every five years. CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to the proper authorities. Adults are taught that children have the right to be safe, strong and free. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees.

CAP 2 is called No More Bullies, No More Victims and is a workshop addressing bullying awareness and bullying prevention. Cyber-bullying is also presented. CAP 3 is called Cyber-Empowerment and is a workshop which promotes adults understanding of cyber activity of youth while teaching them realistic ways to help children keep their own rights and guard the rights of others in the cyber-sphere. Each presentation is 90 minutes.

Adults who are new employees or volunteers should attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2 or CAP 3. After five years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1, 2 or 3 when they renew their CAP.

August 10, 2015

Dear Parish Nurse:

I hope this letter finds you well. I am asking for your help in the development of a very important new outreach program for our parish.

As a vibrant faith community, we have grown by helping each other in our faith journey over the years through service ministries such as the St. Vincent DePaul Society, Knights of Columbus, Youth Ministry, Adult Faith Formation, Social Justice and Visiting the Sick and Homebound. In addition, our Hospitality and Liturgical Ministries have also made invaluable contributions to St. Simon Stock Parish.

All of these ministries have one thing in common: parishioners who are willing to prayerfully consider sharing their gifts for the benefit of fellow parishioners. That is why I’m writing to you today. Our lay leadership, with support from the diocese, has been asked to explore the development of a parish nursing ministry.

In our diocese, the practice of parish nursing is guided by the American Nurses’ Association (ANA) Faith Community Nursing Scope and Standards of Practice (2005). Roles that a parish nurse assumes within a parish are influenced by the needs of the community and the expertise of the parish nurse[s]. Such a ministry would serve our own parish in a number of ways. Some of the roles that are based on the ANA Guidelines are health counselor, health educator, referral agent, advocate, integrator of faith and health, and coordinator of volunteer services.

I am not asking you to volunteer at this time; only to come to an informational meeting which will be held on Tuesday, September 29th at 7:30 PM in the Parish Meeting Center so that you can help us assess if a ministry is needed in our parish. If there is enough support from nurses like you, then we will determine how to move forward together.

Please take a moment to consider attending the September 29th. informational meeting and reach out to me either by phone or email. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me as well. Thanks for your consideration in this important ministry.

Sincerely,

Deacon John Deacon John Rich john_rich@me.com (856) 229-1273 8
