SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JANUARY 18, 2015
A Note from Fr. Joe….
As I mentioned at the 10:30am Mass last Sunday, one of the sights I like least is an empty Christmas tree
laying on its side at a curb waiting to be picked up. It’s such a vivid reminder that the wonderful season of
Christmas is over. But we also sense that it’s time to move on – in our lives and in our faith. We’re given this
opportunity in the Church year called “Ordinary Time” to focus on the daily task of growing as disciples of Christ.
And, as our Readings for this 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time remind us, this begins with listening for God’s call in our
lives and responding. Notice in the 1st Reading that Samuel answers the Lord, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
In the Gospel, Andrew not only listens, but he also then shares the Good News with his brother Simon Peter and
“brought him to Jesus.”
How might we bring Christ to others during Ordinary Time? We’re given many opportunities, especially on
this Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. Though the Parish Office will be closed for the holiday on Monday, it will be a
busy Day of Service for many as we reach out to the broader community, making Jesus’ love for all people known
through our words and actions. Pope Francis says it so eloquently, “It means putting innocence in the place of
malice, love in the place of force, humility in the place of pride, service in the place of prestige. It is good work!” Of
course, as a stewardship community, we know that the good work doesn’t stop at one day, that the call and
response is a life-long process – taken one ordinary step at a time.
In our journey, the sacraments aid us and nourish us. These “treasures of our faith” help us to listen, to
discern, and to respond to God’s call. That’s why we’re having a parish retreat that will delve into the sacraments
as we move from Ordinary Time into the Lenten Season in February. Again, see the reminder below.
Finally, I’m happy and pleased to announce that Mrs. Tara A. Penza has accepted the position of Director
of our Religious Education Program. As you know, she came on board as Interim Director at the beginning of
November and has since proven to be the knowledgeable and personable asset that her background indicated that
she would be.
God Bless!
Fr. Joe
Stewardship Thought for the Week
“Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to
them, “What are you looking for?”
John 1:38
What are you looking for? Are you wasting your time
looking for the material comforts of the world? Or, is
your heart longing for something deeper that can only
be found by spending time with God? Take time, each
day, in silence and ask the Lord what it is that He
wants you to do.
MARK YOU CALENDARS!
IT’S COMING!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Fulfilling the Church’s mission of mercy and
the gospel call to love others as we love God, the
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Collection funds six
Catholic agencies that work for the benefit of our
brothers and sisters around the world. In providing
humanitarian aid, resettling displaced individuals and
families, and advocating on behalf of victims of
atrocities such as human trafficking, the organizations
supported by the CRS Collection act from their belief
that every individual is an equal heir of Christ's love
and care.
The annual Catholic Relief Services Collection
challenges American Catholics to put their faith into
action and to see “Jesus in disguise” in the faces of the
poor, and to support ongoing efforts to respond to their
needs. The funds collected support vital Catholic
programs that share in the Catholic mission of
promoting the sacredness of human life. A small
amount from the collection is retained by the
Archdiocese to help cover local efforts to promote the
collection.
The collection will be taken up in the parishes
of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia the weekend of
January 24 and 25, 2015. The American Catholic
community and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in
particular, have always responded very generously to
this annual collection.
I am grateful to you for your compassionate
response. May you be blessed for your faithfulness
to living the Gospel and recognizing Jesus in those in
need.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Save the Date

Homeless families come to St. Thomas of Villanova
at a vulnerable time in their lives when they are without
a roof over their heads. Most are single mothers who
do not have adequate employment, the skills
necessary to provide for their families, or the support of
loved ones.
At St. Thomas of Villanova we provide a spirit of
warmth and hospitality 5 times a year for one week at a
time. Through the kindess of our volunteers we are
able to supply a safe and welcoming environment for
families to spend their evenings and nights at our
Parish Center.
During the day, families use a Life Skills Center in
Norristown and return to St. Thomas of Villanova in the
evening.
OVERNIGHT HOST VOLUNTEERS ARE URGENTLY
NEEDED FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 25TH
Here’s How You Can Help:
* Provide an evening meal during the week the
families are at St. Thomas of Villanova
* Act as an evening host for a three-hour period in
the evening or the weekend.
* Spend the night so that you are available to assist
with any problems that arise.
* At the start of the week, help set up the guests’
room.
* At the end of the week, help dismantle the rooms,
move the guests, or wash linen.
Teams of two or more people usually carry out all
these functions, so you won’t be by yourself.
We urge you to consider extending St. Thomas of
Villanova Hospitality to families in our community. The
overnight shift begins at 9:00pm and ends at 6:30am.

ADVENT GIVING TREE THANK YOU LETTER

Monday February 9 thru Saturday February 14, 2015

the soul!" --M.E. Bilisnansky McMorrow

December, 2014
Dear Parishioners of St. Thomas:
“God has come down. He comes towards us. He
invites us: `come and see how much I love you. Come
and see that I am here.’ Let us go there!... (Pope
Emeritus Benedict XVI) Christ once came among us
as a babe in His mother’s arms. Today He dwells
amoung us in the person of the poor!
As Little Sisters of the Poor, daughters of St.
Jeanne Jugan, we open our hearts and our homes to
the neediest elderly in our midst. This Christmas we
thank you for opening your heart to the needs of the
elderly — with the generous support of your gift of
Christmas Gifts for all 96 residents. This helps us to
provide for the ever special needs of our aging
Residents.
St. Jeanne Jugan’s charismatic heart viewed all
peoples as God’s children, thus all members of one
human family. We assure you of a grateful
remembrance in our daily prayers and in the monthly
Masses offered for our friends and benefactors
throughout this coming year. May God bless you and
those you love this Christmas and each day of the New
Year.
Gratefully in the Heart of Christ,
St. Veronica Susan, lsp

THE LANGUAGE OF
CONSECRATED LIFE
The consecrated life is a remarkably diverse
phenomenon within the Catholic Church. Because
of the various kinds of communities, vocations, and
charisms that we find in consecrated life it can sometimes
be a challenge to understand terminology that describes
this way of life. In our upcoming bulletins, we will provide
a glossary that you may find helpful.
L.
Laity: Members of the Catholic Church who are neither
ordained ministers nor consecrated religious.
Lay Brother: An unpopular term today, lay Brothers are
consecrated men who belong to a religious institute. They
are “lay because they are neither ordained nor studying
for ordination. They profess the vows of their institute and
as such belong to the consecrated or religious state of life.
Are you having difficulty
controlling
the way you eat?
Food Addicts in Recovery
Anonymous (FA)
….. Offers a solution for all forms of food addiction.
Many people are finding recovery in FA from
obesity, undereating, bulimia, and
obsession with food.
The program is based on the twelve steps of
Alcoholics Anonymous.
FA is FREE and open to all women, men, and teens
that want to stop eating addictively.
Please join us on Monday nights at 7:00pm
or Wednesday mornings at 9:30am
in the St. Thomas of Villanova cafeteria
located in the Parish Center, Rosemont, PA.
