Welcome to
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish!
We are pleased to have you share in this celebration of
the Eucharist. If you do not have a parish home we invite you
to become part of our parish family and become fully involved
in our life of prayer, education, service and community.
Registration: We invite all parishioners to register with the
Parish. Registration helps us to serve you when issuing letters in connection with sponsorship of Baptism, Confirmation
or Matrimony, and also for letters of reference. Kindly notify
the rectory if your address changes.
Marriage: Couples contemplating marriage in the parish
must contact the parish office to meet with a priest to begin
the marriage preparation process. This is the first step in
planning their wedding which needs to be done one year before the date of the wedding.
Baptisms: celebrated every second and fourth weekends
of the month at 12:30 PM in St. John’s Church. We also encourage parents to have their children baptized during the
11 AM Mass on Sunday. Contact the Parish Office at least
two weeks before the desired date of Baptism to make
arrangements. Parents are required to attend a preparation
Class before the Baptism. Classes are on the last Thursday
of every other month at 7:00 PM in the McLaughlin Hall.
Anointing of the Sick: In case of serious illness or advanced age please call the priests. For hospital cases, contact the hospital Chaplain. Notify the office as well so a priest

Fourth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Dt 18:15-20; Ps 95: 1-2, 6-7, 7-9; 1 Cor
7:32-35; Mk 1:21-28
In Jesus’ first visit to a synagogue in
Mark’s Gospel, we encounter a key
theme in this evangelist’s writing: Jesus’
authority. This is evidenced both in his
words - “the people were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one having authority” - and in the exorcism
of the unclean spirit. Unlike other exorcists of his day, who
used many words while performing exorcisms, Jesus commands the unclean spirit with just two words in the Greek
text, and it leaves. The brevity of his command illustrates
his power over the spirit.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses promises the people
that in the future God will send “a prophet like me” to lead
the people. This desire for an intermediary between the
LORD and the people is based on their experience of God's
great power on Mount Sinai, mediated through Moses. The
people believe that to experience God face to face is to risk
death. God promises to “raise up for them a prophet … who
shall tell them all that I command”. Over the centuries, this
prophetic figure came to be understood as the longed-for
Messiah.
Paul continues to advise the Corinthians with the expectation of Christ’s imminent second coming, as we heard last
week. His advice to the unmarried, that they should refrain
from marring, is based on the idea that one who is unmarried
can dedicate more time to serving the Lord. If the Lord’s
return is near, then focusing on the things of God is advisable. Though we do not expect Jesus’ return soon, we still
can follow Paul’s advice by making sure our lives have a
sense of balance between worldly affairs and the things of
God.
For reflection: In what ways have I experienced Jesus'
authority? Have I ever experienced God's liberating power
in my life or in the life of another?
The Beautiful Gift of Light
The Sanctuary Light burns seven days
a week, every week of the year before
the Blessed Sacrament. If you would
like this candle to burn in memory of a
loved one, e.g. a birthday, anniversary of death, wedding anniversary, or any special occasion, please call our parish office. The
name of the person to be remembered and the donor will be published weekly in our bulletin. Suggested offering is $25.00.
The Sanctuary Light at St. John’s for the week of Feb. 1st is in
memory of Daniel Coscia requested by
the Family.
The Sanctuary Light at Holy Saviour for
the week of Feb. 1st is in memory of
Johnny Downes requested by His
Sister requested by His Family.

FOOD PANTRY UPDATE
We have become a much more
important source of food for the
community now that the food pantry at Grace Baptist Church in Haddon Township has
shut down! However, our resources are
limited as we are not government funded and operate
strictly on donations. The Society of St. Vincent de
Paul, which operates the food pantry, is ever grateful
for your generous donations which help us to put food
on the table for many families. As always, we try to
provide main meal items that might not be available at
the area’s remaining food pantries.
We always need donations of canned fruit, chunky
soups, stews, canned meat and fish, pasta and sauce,
and small jars of jelly, crackers, cereal (hot and
cold) and other main meal items.
We cannot accept perishables, expired items, meal
supplements or items which have been previously
opened. Again, thank you for living the gospels by
helping us to feed the hungry!
St. Vincent DePaul Sandwich Making
Takes place February 16th (3rd Monday every month)
at 7PM in Good Shepherd Cafeteria. Bring your own
bread, meat and cheese and join us! We supply sandwich
bags and gloves.
Due to a nice turn out of families for Dr. King service
day we were able to make 1170 sandwiches this week.
Thank you to all who helped out! Our Discussion Meeting takes place on the 3rd Tuesday of the Month, February 17th at 7PM in the conference room of the Faith Formation Center.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Men’s Club
The Men’s Club is an organization that provides an
atmosphere for fostering Christian fellowship and a
sense of community aimed at strengthening family and
parish life. We support the parish and the communities
in which we live as we assist with various religious celebrations, parish, school and community service projects, social events and enrichment projects. Upcoming
activities include:
• Good Shepherd School Service Project – replacing
ceiling tiles
• Super Bowl Party – McLaughlin Hall – 2/1/2015
Our next meeting is Monday February 9th at 8:00pm
in McLaughlin Hall. Please consider joining us – all are
welcome. Questions can be directed to Ed Charlton

FAITH FORMATION
RCIA
If you have been thinking about becoming a
Catholic, or receiving Confirmation and First
Communion, maybe it’s time to think about
RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults. RCIA is for those who have never
been baptized, those who have been baptized
in another Christian denomination, and those
who need to complete their sacraments. Participants meet weekly with a group of other
Catholics. The sessions include praying and
sharing about scripture stories, presentations
about various aspects of our faith and tradition, and lively discussions. It is a wonderful
way to deepen one’s faith. If you would like
to learn more about the process, please call
Pat Lipperini at 858-0298.
New Year,
New Growth in the Lord!
One of the most important New Year’s resolutions we can make is to pay more attention
to our spiritual life. A great way to experience the ongoing direction of the Lord is to
acquaint ourselves with sacred scripture.
Blessed Teresa has a weekly scripture sharing group that reads and discusses the Sunday readings. They meet on Thursday mornings 10-11AM in the Faith Formation Center.
Please consider stopping by when you can!

From the Office of Ministry With the Deaf and Persons with Disabilities
“If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.”
Psalm 95
“God speaks in the silence of the heart and we listen.
And then we speak to God from the fullness of our heart
and God listens. Listening and speaking is what prayer
is...oneness with God.” Mother Teresa
Take some extra time this week to listen to God in the
silence of your heart...be one with God.
Blessings, Sister Bonnie
“When we no longer pray, no longer pay attention to
the voice of Love that speaks to us in the moment, our
lives become absurd lives...If we could just be, for a
few minutes each day, fully where we are, we would
indeed discover that we are not alone and that the One
who is with us wants only one thing: to give us love.”
Henri Nouwen
Special thanks to Monica Masiko for joining us at
GIFTS as we prayed together, socialized and made casseroles for homeless people in Camden. The afternoon
was filled with God’s spirit of love and service and we
accepted the challenge of Pope Francis and immersed
ourselves in a “culture of inclusion” instead of a
“culture of exclusion.” Best said by Monica in response to my thank you: “It really is MY pleasure to be
there, serving and receiving. I derive such joy being in
fellowship with the group. see you again soon!”

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Reflecting on our recently completed Stewardship Appeal,
it is clear to see that Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish is
truly blessed. We are working together to create and sustain a community of belonging where each individual’s
dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the solidarity of
our shared faith, the respect and affection we have for one
another, and our mutual dedication to our God-given mission.
With God's help we will continue to grow in discipleship.
The willingness of our members to enter into sacrificial
giving of time, talent, and treasure in response to our Stewardship Appeal speaks of our continuing gratitude for God's
gifts.
May God continue to bless us as we share in His work!
STEWARDSHIP APPEAL UPDATE
Our Stewardship Appeal was a great success. To date,
321 number of households have increased their weekly
contribution in response to the letter from Fr. John, representing a combined weekly increase of $3,106.75 The average increase in the weekly offering is $9.68.
If you have not already done, so, you can still use the
special stewardship envelope to indicate your new level of
giving, and return to your regular envelope packet for succeeding weeks. If you are interested in receiving information on our Electronic Giving Program, please contact
the parish office.
We would like to thank our parishioners for their generosity
in making this Stewardship Appeal such a great success.

Sandwich Making Responses
When asked why people came out on Monday for
the sandwich making night, here were some of the
responses…
To think of others, and service for MLK day.
To give back because we are blessed.
To help people who need sandwiches more than us.
We’re making sandwiches for the poor people.
To spend me with my son doing something loving.
For the warm feeling in my heart and to serve God.
I want to make it fair for the people that don’t get
food.
It’s what we do.
To pay it forward.
To show my children service through ac ons, not
just words.
I think it sets a good example.
