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!

God’s Plan for Giving:
Tithing: Weekend of February 1, 2015: $11,908.32
Income for February 2, 2014: $12,946.00
Children’s Offering for February 1, 2015: $64.32

Christmas Collection: $22,824.00
Catholic Bishop Relief Fund: $713.00
Electronic Contributions: $1,044.00
From the Pastor: During the recent Catholic Schools
Week I was reflecting that, in a sense, the parish family
does more than tithe towards the school; in fact, it gives
about 20% of its income to the school! Double tithing!
Why do we do this? Because people direct their
resources to those things in which they believe! And so,
the faithful tither shows, by setting the first 10% aside
for God, that he believes in the One Who is the Source of
all good things, and Who continues His work through
the Church. As always, thank you for embracing God’s
Plan for Giving.

PARISH INFORMATION AND CONTACTS
Comments on Tithing from the pews: “It is amazing that
after we started putting the tithing money aside each
month, just like money for the mortgage, the telephone
and the cable TV, we hardly missed it because it wasn’t
treated as spend-able income. And, I didn’t realize it at
the time, but I really started to feel closer to my faith and
to my church.”

As Announced
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’S DESK
8 February 2015
Dear Members of the Parish Family,
As I write this, we have just celebrated Catholic
Schools Week; in fact, the snow forced us to move Tuesday’s
activities to this week, so we just saw our kids dress up in a
most “mis-matched” fashion, and all who teach switched classes for a half hour Tuesday. Yet to come tonight is the faculty
vs. eighth grade volleyball game. I fear a rout.
My mind keeps drifting back to the 10:00 Mass
opening Catholic Schools Week. Over 500 people were there,
in response to my invitation, and I am deeply grateful. We
showed our visitors from “headquarters” and new families what
makes our school special! Now, let’s remember to bring the
children to Mass every Sunday, as God commands us!
As I reminded you with a follow up phone call, now
we have to spread the word! Take a moment to mention why
you love Saint Martha School on your facebook page, as well
as the Home and School page. We need to toot our horn! No
time for false humility here!
And, it is most helpful if we just use facebook for positive things. As we always tell you, if you have an issue with
the school, you should talk to the principal or pastor. If you
have good things to say, tell everyone! I have found that people
who use facebook to knock the school, more often than not, are
not people who were involved in any way with the school and
supportive of the mission of the school or what their teachers
are trying to do with their children. They are just complainers
who have not the courage to come forward and voice their
concerns one on one. They illustrate the sinful uses of
facebook. Ignore them. Better yet, bury their criticism with stories of all that is good!
Let’s keep positive and keep the good news going!
Saint Martha School will always have “high hopes!”

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.
May we, like Saint Martha, always be friends of Jesus.
God’s Love,
Fr. Al
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, 498 adults used their envelopes, with an average
contribution of $23.91 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.

There were no intentions for the Sanctuary Lamp
and the Bread and Wine this week.

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!
UNITED WAY
United Way contributions may be designated to St. Martha
CYO your by referencing #06115. The CYO thanks all,
whose generous contributions provide activities and sports for
the youth of the parish.
Congratulations and Prayers
to the parents, Godparents and
family of our newly baptized
Heather Lee Anna Lopez
On February 1, 2015.
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:
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.

Mass, we will offer a Blessing for all Married Couples who are
present, as well as all families who attend together.
SAVE THE DATE: COMMUNION BREAKFAST AND
HALL OF FAME
On Sunday, March 22, our annual Communion Breakfast and
induction of the newest members of the Saint Martha Hall of
Fame will take place, starting with the 8:00 Mass. Plan to
come as a family to honor those whose efforts have built up
the parish family over the years. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5

Past HOF inductees are especially encouraged to attend; wear

opportunity and take advantage of this great
source of grace.

Save the date: On Sunday March 1, at 4:00
PM, we will gather as families for a
potluck dinner. Bring enough to feed six
people and a dessert. Meet your neighbors
and fellow members of the
parish family.
ARE YOU EXPECTING A CHILD, OR DO YOU KNOW
SOMEONE WHO IS? If so, you may want to stop at the
Knights of Columbus Nook in Martha’s Vineyard to pick up a
free “Precious Feet” pin for yourself or to give to that person
you know. The pin is in the shape and in the exact size of a
10-week unborn baby’s feet, and it demonstrates that the wearer is pro-life.
TIME TO BRING BACK THE PALM
The ashes blessed on Ash Wednesday as a sign of repentance
come from burning the palm from the previous Palm Sunday.
Detached from the palm tree, as sin detaches us from Christ,
the fronds die. We burn these fronds producing dead ashes,
then use the ashes to make the saving sign of the cross, which
restores us to life in Christ. Please bring your old Palm back to
the basket near the font by the Sunday before Ash Wednesday.
