SYNOD 2021-2023 UPDATE:

      During 2021 Pope Francis invited every Catholic around the world to have a say about their parish and play their part in helping to shape the life and mission of the Catholic Church. The Diocese of Camden along with the other dioceses have put together the results and a document was produced that was submitted on behalf of the archdioceses and dioceses of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.  A Synod of Bishops will meet in Rome in 2023 to discuss the results of the documents like this, produced by all the Dioceses throughout the world. This will continues Pope Francis’ efforts to renew the Catholic Church in accordance with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. “The Holy Father’s aim was to involve the whole church at the parish, diocesan, national and continental levels through a process of encountering, listening and discernment on the important theme of synodality: For a synodal church: communion, participation and mission.”

Notice from the Diocese:

Cremation and Proper Handling of Cremated Remain

Your Choices Don’t Stop With Cremation

Sadly, some of us have experienced the death of a loved one during this COVID-19 pandemic.  Many have chosen to have their loved one’s remains cremated, whether by choice or necessity.  Keep in mind, the Church’s teaching recommends cremated remains be given the same respect and reverence as the full body, as cremated remains are the body of the deceased in a changed form and should be given the same respect.  Cremated remains should be buried or inurned on sacred grounds.  With the pandemic affecting so many, you may not have been able to bury your loved one’s remains.  It’s never too late to bury cremated remains.  The staff at South Jersey Catholic Cemeteries is here to help and guide you.

When choosing cremation, there are many choices available including:

Ground Burial ,Granite or Glass Niches ,Crypts,Addition to Family Lot or Crypt in Cremation Garden

Visit SouthJerseyCatholicCemeteries.org to learn more or call us at 855-MyPrePlan (855-697-7375) and a member of our staff will gladly assist you.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself so that where I am you also may be.” John 14:3
