As Pope Francis celebrates the closing Mass for the World Meeting of Families on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia on Sept. 27, a familiar face from the Diocese of Camden will be among those in attendance in raising voices to God in worship.

Damaris Thillet, associate director for the Camden Diocesan Office of Worship and Christian Initiation, and Music/Liturgy Director at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Camden, will direct the Hispanic Archdiocesan Choir for the Papal Mass, and join other choirs in creating a multilingual service for the global gathering.

Dear Friend,

This Labor Day is an opportunity to relax and reflect on the accomplishments of the American worker. It’s also a chance for us to look forward at the hard work still ahead.

My top priority in Congress is jobs. Not just protecting and improving employment opportunities and conditions for working families. But, rewarding hard work.

FIGHTING INFLATION: True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht threatens legal action if counties don’t purge their bloated voter-registration rolls.

\”We are deeply concerned (that) voter rolls contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters,\” True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht stated in a letter to the eight Texas counties.

The counties — Loving, Brooks, McMullen, Roberts, Irion, Jim Hogg, Culberson and Polk — list a combined 52,298 registered voters. But the latest U.S. Census data show only 49,457 voting-age residents in those counties.

This narration by Paul Harvey about policemen is a nice tribute to the Men in Blue, and is worthy of repeating in these sad times when so many cops are losing their lives.
