As you know, here at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Shrine we came together and formed one parish from the communities of Our Lady of Grace in Somerdale, St. Luke in Stratford, and St. Lawrence in Lindenwold. When the merger took place the registered parishioners on the roles from those parishes were merged together, thus creating one of the largest parishes in the diocese. According to the diocese we have 5,230 registered parishioners in the parish. As the years unfolded at our parish, and at most parishes, changes took place. I know that not every registered parishioner from those three (3) former parishes attend Our Lady of Guadalupe. Some families may have moved and other families may have joined nearby parishes. Every parish throughout the diocese has experienced similar movements. For this reason, I believe a new parish census is needed. As the new pastor I first want to have an idea of who we are before we think together about how we can reach out to the many who do not attend church on a regular basis. Together, we will strive to welcome all and will reach out to the broken and lost to share the Joy of the Gospel in our community. For these reasons we will begin a census within the next few weeks. The census will take place one church at a time, beginning with St. Luke’s. Volunteers will be at the church doors with current census data, organized alphabetically by family name. I ask you to take the time to pick up and review the current data we have for your family, make necessary changes (if any) and return the census form to our volunteers. After a month or so we will move the process to St. Lawrence Church. If you are attending and are not registered, we ask that you complete a registration form. When the process at the churches is complete we will mail the remaining census forms to parishioners and asked them to return the corrected census form in an envelope we will provide. At the end of the process (which will take a good 4 months) we should have a better idea of who we are as parish family. Stay tuned for more details and thank you for your wonderful cooperation. If you want to volunteer and help with the process please call us at the parish office. God Bless you and your Family, Father Vince Queridos feligreses y amigos: CENSO PARROQUIAL Aproximadamente hace seis (6) años, las parroquias de nuestra diócesis completaron el proceso de fusión, Como saben aquí en El Santuario Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe nos unimos y formamos una sola parroquia de las comunidades de la Virgen de Gracia en Somerdale, San. Lucas en Stratford, y San Lorenzo en Lindenwold. Cuando la fusión se llevó a cabo los roles de los feligreses registrados de esas parroquias se combinaron, así formando la parroquia más grande de la diócesis. De acuerdo con la diócesis tenemos 5,230 feligreses registrados en la parroquia. Con el paso de los años en nuestra parroquia y en la mayoría de las otras parroquias, los cambios se han llevado a cabo. Sé que no todos los feligreses registrados de las tres (3) antiguas parroquias asisten a la Parroquia de la Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Algunas familias pueden haberse movido y otras familias pueden haberse unido a sus parroquias cercanas. Todas las parroquias en la diócesis han experimentado cambios similares. Por tal razón, creo que un censo parroquial es necesario. Como nuevo párroco, lo primero que quiero tener es una idea de cuantos somos antes de decidir cómo podemos trabajar juntos para contactar a los muchos feligreses que no asisten a la iglesia regularmente. Juntos, vamos a luchar para darle la bienvenida a todos aquellos que se sienten alejados y separados, y compartiremos la alegría del Evangelio con nuestra comunidad. Por estas razones vamos a comenzar un censo en las próximas semanas. El censo se realizará una iglesia a la vez, comenzando por San Lucas. Los voluntarios estarán en las puertas de la iglesia con los datos del censo actual, organizados alfabéticamente por el apellido. Les pido que se toman el tiempo para recogerlos y revisar los datos actuales que tenemos de su familia para hacer los cambios necesarios (si hay alguna necesidad) y devolver el formulario del censo a los voluntarios. Después de un mes más o menos vamos a empezar este proceso en la iglesia de San Lorenzo. Si tú estás asistiendo a una de nuestras iglesias, le pedimos que complete un formulario de registración. Cuando este proceso se haya completado en las iglesias, vamos a enviar por correo los formularios del censo restantes a los feligreses y les pido devolver el formulario del censo corregido en un sobre que le proporcionaremos. Al final del proceso (que se llevara unos 4 meses) debemos tener una mejor idea de quienes somos como familia parroquial. Estén atentos para más detalles y gracias por su maravillosa cooperación. Si quieres ser voluntario y ayudar con este proceso, por favor llámenos a la oficina parroquial. Que Dios te bendiga ti y a tu familia.
