Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parishioners,
Having escaped the Blizzard of the Century, I would like to share with you
some of the responses that I received from the ten inner city parishes that St.
John Vianney Parish was able to assist at Christmas time. I’m sure they will lift
your spirits as they did mine.
Msgr. Fred Britto of St. Cyprian Church in West Philadelphia writes: “Every
week I run into a parishioner of mine who informs me that they have lost their
job and therefore must make adjustments in their financial giving. Their pain
becomes our pain. Their financial situation becomes a financial situation for the
parish. Extra financial assistance that comes our way is greatly appreciated. I want to thank you and the
parishioners of St. John Vianney Parish for your kindness and thoughtfulness toward our parishioners.”
Msgr. Hugh Shields, Pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Philadelphia writes: “A heartfelt
Thank You to you and the good people of St. John Vianney Parish for the very generous donation of
$5,000. Your continued support of our mission in this culturally diverse community in South
Philadelphia not only allows us to continue providing the services that are needed, but also provides the
positive energy our staff and volunteers need to continue on with the work they are doing.”
Father Steve Thorne, Pastor of St. Martin de Porres Church in North Philadelphia writes: “Your gift has
brought some light where there was darkness before. You have enabled Saint Martin de Porres Parish
to brighten up Christmas: to help with heat or light; to provide some clothing; to send a basket of food;
to help someone to find a place to live. For anyone who struggles just to meet the necessities of life,
one of the greatest sufferings (the “darkness”) is the sense of being alone. You have assured the people
in North Philadelphia that they are not alone”.
Father Tom Higgins, Pastor of Holy Innocents Parish in North Philadelphia writes: I am most grateful
to you and your parish for your assistance to Holy Innocents. Your gift of $5,000.00 will be applied to
the Pastor’s Tuition Fund. This year our tuition assistance funds have assisted some 78 families with
over $29,000 in assistance. Your donation will allow us to continue helping those in most need.”
Father Peter Quinn, Pastor of Divine Mercy Church, writes: “When I came to Divine Mercy Parish in
June, 2013, I told the people that I wanted to save their parish. Your donation last year meant so much
to me. Last year I cut many expenditures, reduced the staff to part time and called on people to
volunteer. In the fiscal year 2014-2015, I saved some expense in our music ministry by asking more
volunteers to be cantors or choir members or organists. I tried to increase the Sunday offerings but,
even though people try, it was not very successful since many of them are refugees or migrants from
Asia or Africa. Meanwhile some good Caucasian parishioners either died or moved.”
These are just a few of the many wonderful letters that I received through your generosity to those
needy people in the inner city parishes in Philadelphia. On behalf of all the recipients of your
generosity, I thank you for your goodness to others.
Have a good week ahead. God bless you all.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Msgr. Donald E. Leighton, Pastor

Have you read Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation “The
Joy of the Gospel?” Are you inspired by the Pope’s dream
for a missionary transformation of the Church? Come and
meet others who share this dream and want to implement
the Pope’s vision!
World Meeting of Families
is coming to Philadelphia
in September 2015
and you can help!
Join us on Saturday evenings through February 14th, at the
Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, 1723 Race
Street in Philadelphia after the 5:15pm Mass. We will present excerpts from Pope Francis’ “The Joy of the Gospel.”
The excerpts will be followed by a panel discussion to explain the “New Evangelization” and how families can put
Pope Francis’ words into action. Hear priests, deacons,
sisters, and local educators discuss how you can be part of
the New Evangelization! See the poster in church for more
details. Register today by email:
[email protected] or call Michael Campbell at
215 -407-7402.
Thousands will visit for this international event from

You can open your home and host a family or an
individual. It is easy to sign up online.

Want to read the biggest best seller of all time?
Ever have questions about the Sunday Gospel reading?
Looking to get more out of Mass?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then why
not join St. John Vianney Bible study on Wednesday
mornings from 6:30 to 7:30 in the Parish Hall. Using the
Great Adventure Bible Timeline learning system you will
walk through the Bible with
greater understanding - Reading the Word, Watching a DVD
and Faith sharing.
Simply prepare an extra portion of meat, starch, and
vegetable when you cook. Containers are available at
the entrances of the church. Just cover them with foil,
freeze, then bring them to the freezer in the kitchen of
the church hall. Frozen dinners from the supermarket
are always welcome. So think about the needy when
you are shopping too.
You are warmly invited to participate
in or attend the first recital in our newly created "Gladwyne Recital Series",
Sunday, February 8th, at 1:00 pm in
the Parish House. Members of our
community who play an instrument or
sing are most welcome to share their gifts by performing a song or piece in the recital. If you or your child
would like to participate, please email Cara Latham at
[email protected]. We are planning on
"passing a hat" and donating any money raised to the
Ozonam Catholic Center for Homeless Families. If you
have no-longer-being-used instruments that you would
like to donate, we will also collect them at the recital
and donate them to the shelter.
If you have any questions call Clara Hilberts 484-4204261 or Jane Young, 610-941-1160. THANK YOU for any
help you can give.
Welcome
On Sunday, January 25th we welcomed a new little member of our

Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Mark recounts in this chapter an eventful day in Capernaum, St. Peter’s home town. First, Jesus performs an exorcism. But the main point for Mark is
that the same power that enables Jesus’ healing also
underscores the authority of His teaching.
