CCD FUNDRAISER
Thank You for Your Continued Support!
Don’t throw away those empty printer cartridges and old cell phones!
Help us get cash for your trash! Drop off your empty inkjet & laser cartridges, used cell phones, and PDA’s in the “Cartridges for Kids” Collection Basket in the St. Martha Room. Tell your family, friends, and Businesses. All proceeds benefit the CCD Program.
This is a great fundraiser for CCD because it requires ZERO investment and is a total profit for Mater Ecclesiae.

“End of Life or Ending Life?”
October 23, 2011 9:45 AM
Dr. George Isajiw, M.D., K.M.
Who can forget the drama played out in 2005 as 32 year old, minimally conscious Terri Schiavo spent 13 days slowly dying from
D E L I B E R A T E S T A R V A T I O N A N D D E H Y D R A T I O N?
While this tragedy took place on the worldwide stage, every day many other families struggle to make decisions about what is the best, moral, and humane care for their terminally ill or severely disabled loved ones, and how to protect them from forced death. On Sunday, October 23, at 9:45 AM in Bishop DiMarzio Hall, Dr. George Isajiw, a practicing internal medicine physician from Lansdowne, Pennsylania., will address the challenge of caring for those who are incapacitated by age, illness or disability. Additionally, Jeanette Fischer who is a nurse and the sister of parishioner Emily Sparks, will offer personal witness in dealing with end-of-life issues. Join us for this important breakfast presentation.

October CAP Sessions

The Office of Safe Environment for Children, Youth and Adults is announcing CAP (Child Assault Prevention) sessions. CAP is the safe environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors. Attendance is required in order to comply with the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The policy of the diocese is that adults will attend CAP once every five years.
CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to the proper authorities. Adults are taught that children have the right to be safe, strong and free. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees.
CAP 2 is No More Bullies, No More Victims and is a workshop on bullying awareness and bullying prevention. Cyberbullying is also addressed. Both sessions are 90 minutes.
Adults must attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2. After five years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1 again if they prefer.

You can speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves at the Cherry Hill Women's Center, 502 N. King's Hwy, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034. Mater Ecclesiae again serves as coordinator for the Saturday time slots from 10 AM to 1 PM.
