MISSION STATEMENT
We, the family of Saint Martha Parish, in order to live richly in our Catholic heritage and Parish traditions, through the gifts of the Holy Spirit and
the example of Saint Martha’s hospitality, devote our mind, body and spirit to:
Pray to God, through the most exalted mystery, the celebration of the Eucharist and recognize in this Union with Christ the Sacrifice,
Sacrament and Real Presence.
Foster a home where Christianity is welcomed as the focal point, which will allow us to continue to grow as selfless, humble Catholic
individuals and integral, involved members of our Parish and community;
Proclaim the Good News, as did our Patron, Saint Martha, by expressing our commitment to our faith as shown in our actions, spoken in our
words, and reflected in our thoughts.
Serve, with humility, the spiritual and physical needs of all God’s people, born and unborn, by practicing our faith, both inwardly and
outwardly, to ensure and strengthen our Catholic future.
We join in communal and individual prayer to God, with Mary, our Mother, and with the help and strength of our parish patron, Saint Martha, so
that we, like she, may carry the Gospel Message and profess our belief in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God.
WE ARE A TITHING PARISH
God gives us everything we have and allows us to keep 90% of it
for any good purpose. He simply asks that we return the first 10%
to Him (5% to the local parish, 5% to God’s other good works, our
personal chariƟes) in graƟtude. This spirituality of Ɵthing is as old
as the Bible itself, and disposes us to make God first in every area
of our lives! The aim is to secure not the Ɵthe, but the Ɵther, not
the giŌ, but the giver—for God!

Sacrament of Baptism
Baptisms for children are celebrated on the first and third Sunday of the month
at 1:15 (except during Lent) and on most Sundays of Easter. Parental
instruction is required for the each child. See the priest after Sunday Mass to set
up baptism. For adults, contact the rectory to join the RCIA program. These
sacraments are usually celebrated at the Easter Vigil.
Sacrament of Marriage
Couples planning marriage should contact the parish office at least nine months
in advance. Weddings are not celebrated during the Season of Lent.
Anointing of the Sick
Please contact the parish office at the onset of serious illness. On the Sunday
before you enter the hospital, please ask one of the priests to administer the
Anointing, so that the healing touch of Christ may come to you in this beautiful
sacrament.
Communion Calls for Shut-Ins
The homebound can be visited regularly by the parish priests and pastoral staff
and brought Holy Communion on Sunday by special ministers of the Eucharist.
Contact Sr. Claire if there is a need.
Funerals
Upon the death of a family member, contact the parish office so that a priest or
other member of the pastoral staff can visit to offer comfort and help plan the
funeral liturgy. Arrangement regarding time and dates of funerals are made
through a funeral director.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse that there
may be food in my house and try me in this, says the
Lord of Hosts. Shall I not open for you the
floodgates of Heaven and pour down blessings upon
you without measure?” Malachi 3:10
From the Pastor: I remember Mikhael Gorbachev, the
former Soviet leader, quoting to President Reagan an old
Russian proverb: “Trust--- but verify!” Well, for the
tither, the proverb can only be “Trust!” We trust that
after we give God our first ten percent that the ninety
percent left will be more than enough for our daily
needs. We trust that God will provide for our needs,
even the unexpected “surprises” that come into our lives
like a car needing repair or an unexpected illness. How
we grow in faith and trust when we live the spirituality
of tithing! I thank you all who are faithful tithers and
good stewards and following God’s Plan for Giving.

Comments on Tithing from the pews: “I first heard
about tithing in the Philippines where it was mandatory
for [parishioners in Protestant churches to give 10% of
their earnings to support their church. It was not then a
common Catholic practice. Now that I moved (to the
US), I am committed to keeping the tithe. It is simply
giving back to God a share of your earthly blessings!

QUICK FINANCIAL FACTS
As we grapple with stopping increasing indebtedness and
paying our bills on a timely basis, the Parish Finance
Council thinks it important that each week you be made
aware of some facts and figures we face.
This week, 360 adults used their envelopes, with an average
contribution of $23.96 per envelope. If 500 adults used their
envelopes with an average contribution of $25, we would
make our weekly budgeted collection figure of $12,500.
By the way: even using less electricity than this time last
year, our latest PECO bill for the school is $2,278.

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
26 October 2014
Dear Members of the Parish Family,
This is Parish Planned Giving Weekend. As one part
of our never-ending plan to right ourselves financially
(including emphasizing adequate weekly stewardship through
confronting the tithe, supporting fundraisers and prompt
payment of tuition and school fees when due), we have
available today someone from the Catholic Foundation of
Greater Philadelphia, who will be available to speak with you
about ways to guarantee yourself a dependable income, and at
the same time, providing for a long range gift to the parish
family, a gift which will secure the future. There are also other
ways to assist your planned giving: naming the parish as an
insurance beneficiary, a gift from your estate, and other
avenues.
Our parish opened a sustainability fund with the CFGP
over the summer. By accessing their website, you can also
donate to the fund, which is a long-range source of monies for
future needs.
Everyone must be concerned about our financial
future: not just me, not just the finance council. We can do this
---WE, not “I”. Please spend a few minutes listening to the
presentation, and a lot of time praying over your decision. We
owe it to the generations yet to come!
May we, like Saint Martha, always be friends of Jesus.
God’s Love,
Fr. Al

WEEKLY MEMORIALS
The sanctuary Lamp which burns before the Blessed Sacrament
reminds us of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. It would be a wonderful
way to memorialize a loved one who now enjoys the
heavenly banquet. If you would like the lamp to burn in honor of a loved one,
either in Church or in the Rectory Chapel, please send a suggested offering of
$10 to the rectory office with the name of the person remembered. We will
publish these memorials in the bulletin. In addition, a donation of $25 will help
supply the bread and wine which are used for the Eucharist, another fitting
memorial.
The Sanctuary Lamp
has been donated this week
in memory of
Carmilla O’Brien
The Bread and Wine
has been donated this week
in memory of

“SPOTLIGHT ON ST. MARTHA SCHOOL”
The first grade spent quality time with their 8th grade
buddies during “Pumpkin Day”! The 8th graders helped
the first graders weigh, measure and count the seams of
their pumpkins. There were many activities such as
pumpkin game station, Halloween safety, writing activity
and a snack station. When the students were finished the
activities they decorated their pumpkin and received an
official P.I. (Pumpkin Investigator) award. A fun-filled
Pumpkin Day was had by all! The first graders would
like to shout our a special “Thank You” to our 8th graders
for helping to make Pumpkin Day fun
and successful.

WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE ABOUT SCRIP
Each school family is required to purchase an average of $50
weekly in scrip. Considering weekly bills such as gasoline and
food, this is pretty simple to do... most families will exceed this
minimum when they realize they are piling up tuition credits
simply by making a quick stop at the scrip office.
Here is what you might not realize: anyone can purchase scrip!
You could apply it to a grandchild’s tuition, or a friend or
neighbor, or to the parish tuition fund, so a deserving family
can get some help along the way. Scrip is one of those quiet
fundraisers which can benefit not only our families but our
parish. We strongly encourage everyone to sign up today!
Why make the trip to the stores at a mall just to buy a gift card?
Our scrip office probably has what you want!
SPIRITUAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
If you are unable to attend Sunday Mass regularly, due to
advancing years or health reasons, please call the Parish Office.
An initial visit will be set up through Sister Claire McMahon,
IHM, for a monthly visit by our priests, deacon and pastoral
staff, and a weekly visit by an extraordinary minister of the
Eucharist. If a neighbor or family member in our parish is
interested, please ask them if they would like you to call for
this spiritual support.
Also, if you, or someone in our parish is in the hospital, we
would appreciate being informed. H.I.P.P. laws prevent us
from knowing who is hospitalized unless the patient or another
person lets us know. On the Sunday before a planned
admission, ask one of the priests to administer the Anointing of
the Sick.
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM FOR INFANTS
Through Baptism, your children are plunged into the mystery
of the Lord’s Death and Resurrection and become God’s own
children, members of the family we call Church. You may
arrange baptism by approaching one of the priests or deacons
after Mass. To prepare for this sacred celebration, parents are
required (and godparents invited but not required) to attend a
Pre-Jordan Session. At this gathering, held on a Thursday
evening at 7:30 in the rectory, one of the parish clergy and a
couple who have presented children for baptism give an
overview of the ceremony and theology as well as practical
suggestions to enhance your experience of the big day.
Pre-Jordan Class will be held on the following dates:
November 13, January 15, March 12, May 21 and July 16.
Consider coming to the class before your baby is born, when
things are just a bit less hectic.
PARISH REGISTRATION AND MEMBERSHIP
It is important that all Catholics within our boundaries be
registered and active members of the parish. Circumstances
sometimes change registration status. If you can answer “yes”
to any of these questions, you need to be sure you are
registered correctly in the parish. (1) Have you moved away
from you parental home (not just for college)? (2) Have you
recently changed your marital status? (3) Are you living with
your parents, over eighteen, and not receiving your own
mailings and envelopes? If any of these apply, please call the
rectory office to update your registration status. New families
moving into the parish can register after any Sunday Mass.
