“A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars.” Revelation 12:1
A Word from your Senior Priest
What happened? I went from being a “Weekend Presider” to being a
“Senior Priest!” What does that mean? Let me try to explain.
For the past eight years, ever since I left Our Lady of Grace in 2005, I have
been serving in diocesan administrative responsibilities at the diocesan
center in Camden. During that time, on weekdays I would be in the office in Camden but on
weekends, I would serve in the parish where I was in residence, first, at Pius X in Cherry Hill
and then Christ the King in Haddonfield. This past April, my residence was changed to the
retreat house in Blackwood, which enabled me to come on weekends to Our Lady of
Guadalupe to serve as a “weekend presider.”
Bishop Sullivan has graciously approved my request to step down from full-time diocesan
administrative responsibilities and return to full-time parish ministry. So since October 1,
and “for the time being,” I am now serving as your full-time parochial vicar (associate pastor)
at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Shrine. I will remain in residence with Bishop Sullivan at the
retreat house and commute to the parish churches and offices.
Now, about the title “Senior Priest” – all that means is that I am older than the other priests
and they have to be nice to me! Seriously, it simply means that, at least for a while, I will not
have administrative responsibilities as a pastor. That will probably change sometime next year
when Bishop Sullivan makes pastor assignments in June and I am assigned somewhere else as
pastor.
However, for as long as I will be here, I am most delighted and happy to be with you to serve
you. Our Lady of Guadalupe was formed from three parishes, one of which, Our Lady of
Grace, was where I had been pastor. In fact, Father Joe was my parochial vicar there and now I
am his parochial vicar here!
So, being with you is truly a wonderful “homecoming” for me and I am absolutely thrilled to
be with you!!
With prayers,
Msgr. Roger

Happy Feast Day!
“Do not be distressed, my littlest son. Am I not here with you who am your
Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Go to the top of the hill and cut the flowers that are growing there.
Bring them to me.”
O God, you have been pleased to bestow upon us unceasing favors by having
placed us under the special protection of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary.
Grant us, your humble servants, who rejoice in honoring her today upon earth,
the happiness of seeing her face to face in heaven.
