**Special message from Fr Sanjai regarding Email Solicitation Scam from the clergy and the staff**
Dear parishioners:
Priest, deacons and the staff members of Our Lady of Peace Parish will never contact you through email or social media messages requesting you to provide them with gift cards or assist them financially in a crisis situation.  It was brought to my attention that an email with a message “I need a favor from you” is sent to parishioners’ email.  If you receive such an email or a message, which is seemingly sent by a priest or a staff member requesting financial assistance of any kind, please do no respond to it but report it to the parish office.  Thank you very much!
May you have a Blessed day.
Fr Sanjai Devis

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 U Granite or Glass Niches U Crypts U Addition to Family Lot or Crypt U 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.
