has chosen life. With her baby boy due in August, our parish’s Pro-Life group is planning a baby shower to help provide
some of the necessities for the new baby. Parishioners are invited to drop off an unwrapped gift for the baby boy by
September 3 in the Saint Martha Room. Diapers are especially welcome. Additionally, several larger items (new or

donate a large item or for more information, call Tracye at 856-770-8488.

THANK YOU
The Celebration Our Lady’s Assumption into Heaven at the Cathedral was absolutely magnificent! We cannot put into
words the beauty of that day. We thank Almighty God, the Blessed Mother, all the Music donors and Ad patrons
whose generosity made this Mass possible, Dr. Timothy McDonnell, Nicholas Beck, the musicians and singers, Fr.
James Bartoloma, Mr. Edward Heffernan, Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, the attending priests, Fr. Michael Mannion and the
Cathedral Staff, the Knights of Columbus, the Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre, The Blessed Imelda Society,
and the Altar Servers. An undertaking of this magnitude requires months of planning and depends on the cooperation
and coordination of so many different volunteers who work tirelessly to make this Mass of Thanksgiving a success.
Thank you to everyone who gave of their time and volunteered in any way to help us. We give special thanks to our
Head Sacristan Bob Parker, Sacristan John Rotundi, assistants Albert Collins, Brad Kelly, and Anthony Mantoan;
Altar Server Coordinator Marty Howlett and the set up team; our ushers Paul Boland, Ed Spooner, Dave O’Kane, John
Leahy, Lou DiLoreto, John Symons and Michael Graziano; our greeters Barbara Coscarello and Mary Spooner; Saveria
Symons, Kelly and Kevin Myers for our special preview edition of the Mater Ecclesiae Newsletter and Website; Mark
Cavallo and Kirk Earney for providing security at the Cathedral; Jennifer Meredith, D. A. Freiberg, Edie Consoli and
the Mother’s Auxiliary; Carol McHale, Blessed Imelda Coordinator; Viola Iuliucci; florist; Office staff Lucille DiLalo
and Cheryl Hughes, who still have piles of Assumption paperwork ahead of them, and Barbara Rodio, our Parish
Secretary and Volunteer Coordinator, who each year designs our Program Booklet. This was a truly awesome
celebration of the Assumption. May our lives reflect the sheer beauty and intensity of that magnificent Mass. Let us
all proclaim the greatness of the Lord!
