WATER-INTO-WINE SUNDAY
Our third Epiphany celebrates
Jesus’ first miracle: water into
wine at the Wedding Feast. We
rejoiced in immersion of Jesus
into our world of matter as we
recalled the baptism of Jesus in
the Jordan. And now we see the
ease and playfulness Jesus
brings into this cosmic
relationship with creation!
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
January 15th is his real day of
birth! The national holiday is
tomorrow, January 19th!
Our lives begin to end the day
we become SILENT about the
things that matter.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Don’t sleep in if you are off! Take a stand. Do
service for someone in need in your community.
Find a community service project in Camden! Go!
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY 2015
January 18 to January 25th. Bishop Dennis Sullivan and other Christian bishops and leaders will
be joining for prayer to begin the week today at 3
PM at St. Mary’s, Cherry Hill. It is an expression
of Christian faith in diverse ways. All are welcome! The theme for this year is, Jesus said to her,
“Give me a Drink.” Each year a different country
has the honor of choosing the theme. This year’s
theme was chosen by the churches of Brazil.
“Sing to God, all the
earth!”
(Psalm 96)
from today’s entrance Antiphon.
Sing sweet birds in the low
branches, sing wild winds on the
mountains, sing snow drifts on
the hills, sing wires on the poles
carrying our voices, sing waters
over the stones, sing mothers to
the unborn, sing old men into
children’s eyes! Sing everyone
the umm in the collective hum of
humanity! Sing to God, all the
Michael Doyle, 1989
earth!
TODAY, WE REJOICE
in our cosmic relationship
with all of creation!
We must laugh
and we must sing,
We are blest by
everything.
Everything we look
upon is blest.
William Butler Yeats
RESTORATION OF SACRED HEART CHURCH
will be completed this year! It has been a long
recovery, going on bit by bit, as money was available since 1992, 22 years! The first job before
1992 was the cleaning and re-pointing of the
Trenton Brown Stones that were laid in 1886.
Over the long years, the smoke from a whole
neighborhood of coal fires made the church completely black. The first task in November 1992
was the restoration of the canvas paintings,
erected in 1908, 84 years before. Fr. Maurice
Bric, second pastor, hired Ferdinand Baraldi, a
painter from Italy to create 12 canvas paintings
which are 60 square feet in area. Ten of them
have gospel scenes; two have pre-Christian
scenes. In addition, Fr. Bric had five smaller
paintings created on the walls, three in the front
and two in the back. One by one, each painting
was dust-cleaned and a liquid preparation applied.
Each painting had pieces of paper attached on the
whole surface all done by Don Harle. Then he
and Del Lenhart rolled the painting off the ceiling on a cardboard roller, which, when secured,
was taken to York, PA where Othmar Carli totally cleaned the painting and restored it. When
the painting was completed, it was glued to a base
of plywood that was attached to the ceiling in
such a way that it can be taken down if need be. If
it was glued directly to the ceiling, it could never
be detached, so powerful is the glue. At the original installation, the glue was animal glue and not
strong.

RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS
The RFR collection was launched in 1988 by
Catholic bishops of the United States to address
the profound lack of retirement funding among
religious congregations. After 26 years, it may
seem that the needs have been met. They have not.
Eldercare costs continue to rise while the number
of religious needing care grows. We are, in the
end, pursuing a moving target. Senior religious,
who have served our one Church so faithfully,
need our support.
Give thanks for religious. A parishioner writes,
“We thank God today and every day for every
religious sister who taught us in school, not only
our ABCs, but also to love God.” Share our gratitude for the senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and
religious order priests who made a positive difference in so many lives. Please give generously to
next week’s collection for the Retirement Fund
for Religious.
