And this weekend here at St. Charles Borromeo is definitely a time for us to celebrate. Our 2nd grade students received their First Holy Communion this weekend – receiving the body and blood of Christ for the first time. This is truly is a special weekend for all our First Communicants and their families. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Everything leads to the Eucharist and everything flows from it. So the Eucharist needs to be at the center of all our lives. What a blessing it is to be able to receive the Eucharist at mass. It’s something we should want to do every week. You know, going to mass is something we should make sure is in our calendars every weekend, whether it’s Saturday evening, Sunday morning or Sunday evening. Everything in our calendars on the weekend should revolve around going to mass and receiving Holy Communion. Since the Eucharist is the source and the summit of the Christian life – the mass and the Eucharist need to be the center of our weekends and then everything else follows. The Eucharist will then help inform us how we should share our time, treasure and talent with others throughout the week. And speaking of time, treasure and talent, we all know that a big event here at St. Charles Borromeo every year is the carnival. Part of the reason why the carnival is such a big success is because of the hard work put in by all our volunteers. This might be the year you would like to start volunteering, or continuing to volunteer, your time and talents to our carnival. Walt and Jean Fox, our carnival chair couple, are reaching out for volunteers this weekend. This is a great opportunity for you to give back to our parish. God Bless, Fr. Chris A MESSAGE FROM BISHOP O’CONNELL All Catholics in the Diocese of Trenton are asked to pray for the victims of the tragic earthquake in Nepal. The devastation there is almost incomprehensible to us. Anyone able and willing to help is encouraged to contribute directly online: www.crs.org or send contributions directly to: Nepal Earthquake Relief, Catholic Relief Services, PO 17090, Baltimore, MD 21297-0303 MAY 7 MASS IN CHAPEL Due to work on the sanctuary floor, on Thursday, May 7, the normal 9:00am daily mass will be held in the chapel instead of church. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR DECEASED Thomas DiTaranto Geraldine Mertzig Dr. Teresa Ball PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR SICK Let us remember the sick of our community that they may receive healing of body, soul and spirit. Alice Furbee, Rita Irwin, Tom King and Mary Ann Moszcynski After one month in the bulletin they will be transferred to the Book of Healing in the Adoration Chapel 3 We Are Called To Sanctify ADORATION CHAPEL Come and receive the special outpouring of God’s grace that many of our parishioners have already experienced by spending time with Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Come and be blessed at your own convenience. The chapel is open from 6AM until Midnight every day except Sunday: Noon to midnight. If you would like any information, please contact Marge at 786-0407; Patty at 7862749 or Bill Gallagher at 609-760-9555. VOCATION PRAYER CHALICE Nearly 150 families, including singles and couples have taken the Blessed Chalice into their homes to pray for vocations once a day for one week. The prayer is furnished. We had one vocation from our parish in 2014. Several have taken it more than once for a special occasion in their home. Each weekend, at a Mass of your choice, a parishioner or parish family is called to the sanctuary after communion to accept the Chalice (or you may take it privately after Mass). The following Saturday the Chalice is returned to the chapel in Marsh Hall and placed on the altar. Please find it in your heart to call or volunteer. Thank you. Please call Pamela and Don Grimme at 856-829-6488 The Prayer Chalice will be in the home of the Huber Family for the week of May 10th. WEEKDAY COMMUNION ANTIPHONS Monday: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you, says the Lord, alleluia. Tuesday: If we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Christ, alleluia. Wednesday: The Lord has risen and shone his light upon us, whom he has redeemed by his Blood, alleluia. Thursday: Christ died for all, that those who live may live no longer for themselves, but for him who died for them and is risen, alleluia. Friday Entrance Antiphon: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and divinity, and wisdom and strength and honor, alleluia. Friday: The Crucified is risen from the dead and has redeemed us, alleluia.

If you need a ride call Allyson Cooney at 609-922-7641. The Outreach program offers meals to needy parishioners on a short term basis. If you are recovering from surgery, have an incapacitating illness, or other problems and are in need of a meal, please call Kathy McCracken at 829-0563. Long before ever being conceived in its mother’s womb, the unborn child was conceived in God’s mind. Who are we to say NO to God by abortion? WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES CASSEROLES FOR THE HUNGRY – Frozen casseroles donated on the second Thursday of each month by St. Charles parishioners are delivered to Catholic Charities Emergency. Anyone interested in joining this worthy endeavor, call Cathy Weir at 764-9277. Next drop off day is May 14. Casseroles may be dropped off in the barn any time between 7am and 9pm. Thank you. May 2015: Light in a Dark World At its best, the family is a school of love, justice, compassion, forgiveness, mutual respect, patience and humility in the midst of a world darkened by selfishness and conflict. In these ways, the family teaches what it means to be human. However, many temptations arise which try to coax us into forgetting that male and female are created for covenant and communion. For example, poverty, affluence, pornography, contraception, philosophical and other intellectual mistakes can all create contexts that challenge or threaten healthy family life. The Church resists these things for the sake of protecting the family. FOOD COLLECTION Next weekend, May 9/10, we will conduct our monthly collection of food certificates for the needy of Burlington County. Please place your donation(s) in front of the Blessed Mother statue in church at any mass. ST. CHARLES YOUTH MINISTRY (SCYM) NEWS The final SCYM meeting of the year will be Sunday May 3rd. We are asking that all SCYM members join us for mass at 5pm, followed by a group dinner in McCusker Hall. Dinner will be followed by a brief meeting to reflect on the year. We will conclude around 8pm. We hope everyone can attend to celebrate a great year. ST. CHARLES BORROMEO TOTS PLAYGROUP The Tots Playgroup meets every Wednesday from 9:30AM – 11:15AM. The playgroup meets in the Richard Marsh Center located at St. Charles Borromeo School and Church at 2500 Branch Pike, Cinnaminson, NJ 08077. All caregivers (moms, dads, grandparents, etc) are welcome to attend with children aged anywhere from infants to 5 years of age. We will have playtime, snacks, and crafts. No registration is required. We ask for a $1.00 donation each week per child and the money is used for supplies and snacks for the group. CONTACT: If you have any questions, please contact Allison Friebel at [email protected] or Donna Shaw at 856-829-1463. A PRAYER FOR OUR MILITARY 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 for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior….Amen.

The vocabulary is especially challenging in our new math chapter, Number Theory and Patterns. We are learning about factors, multiples, divisibility, prime and composite numbers, and number patterns. The students have been doing well understanding the concepts presented in this chapter. After a quiz on factors, multiples, divisibility, and prime/composite numbers, they explored number patterns, finding the rule, and finishing the pattern by completing the following activity. The students were each given three playing cards. They were asked to flip those cards and use them as the beginning numbers in their pattern. They then had to figure out what the rules were based on the cards they flipped, and add two more numbers to the pattern as well. The students were also asked to write a paragraph describing their thought process throughout the activity. This was a fun and very interesting exercise! We have been learning about the Ten Commandments in religion class. We are currently studying the fifth commandment - You shall not kill. The students each wrote advertisements about the fifth commandment by promoting the positive message about protecting human life. There were a variety of themes displayed in their very creative work. We had songs, interviews, speeches, and even poems. They had so many wonderful ideas! In social studies we are discovering the Declaration of Independence. The students were divided into groups and created their own modern plays based on the Declaration of Independence. Each group had colonists, loyalists, and a controlling leader. The colonists declared independence while the loyalists stayed by the leader’s side. Each group wrote their own rendition of the “Declaration of Independence”. The plays were absolutely excellent! As the year winds down and we prepare for the fun and adventure of summer vacation, we look forward to field day, our class trip and the year long awaited return of our parish carnival. We hope you have enjoyed reading about our discoveries this year. We are looking forward to the challenges of fifth grade, but not before we have some rest and relaxation during the summer months!

Gratefully, Fr. Bob Schecker. WOMEN’S CIRCLE NEWS As we continue to celebrate the joy of the Easter season, our April theme was "Bread Blessed and Broken".
