This fall, internationally renowned speaker and author Jeff Cavins will visit St. Isaac Jogues Parish, Marlton, to offer his presentation “When You Suffer: Biblical Keys for Hope and Understanding.”
Slated for 5:30-8:30 p.m. Oct. 17, the popular speaker’s events often sell out early, so pre-registration is recommended. The event is sponsored by the diocesan Department of Catholic Cemeteries and is designed to help participants understand the Church’s perspective on suffering – that it has meaning, and that it is inseparable from being human. People can learn during this presentation what is really happening when one suffers.
Jeff Cavins has personally invited those in the Diocese of Trenton to this event as well. Click the play button below to hear, in his own words, what he will be sharing:

Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M. paid a visit to the students enrolled in the summer religious education programs of St. Joesph Parish, Toms River July 11 and St. Benedict Parish, Holmdel July 18. During each parish visit, the Bishop celebrated Mass and shared about the importance of saying Mass for the students enrolled in religious education.
The Bishop also spoke about three important elements of the faith – Jesus, what it means to have faith and the Church. Students were interested to hear Bishop O’Connell talk about the role of a bishop and the various items that are pertinent to a bishop, such as the crozier, miter, pectoral cross and ring.
Look for a forthcoming story about the Bishop’s visit to each parish religious education program in the July 25 print edition of The Monitor.
