Fifth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Job 7:1-4, 6-7; Ps 147:1-2, 3-4, 56; 1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-23; Mk 1:2939
Today’s first reading reminds us
that we all experience difficulty in
our lives; it is part of the human
condition. Life can seen like “a
drudgery”, filled with “months of
misery, and troubled nights”. But the book of Job ultimately
calls us to recognize that all we have comes from God and
that our destiny is in God’s hands. We are called to hope in
God's goodness.
Paul tells the Corinthians that his mission of preaching the
gospel is “an obligation … imposed on me” by God. His
task is to “win over as many as possible”, both Jews and
gentiles, “those outside the law”. In this preaching he is
helping to fulfill God's will of saving as many as will accept
the word, “so that I too may have a share in it”.
In the Gospel today, Jesus’ cure of Simon Peter’s mother-in
-law serves to illustrate Jesus’ authority once again, an idea,
we encountered last week. Her response is to minister to
Jesus and his disciples. Mark then tells us that when the
Sabbath was over, “after sunset, they brought to him all who
were ill or possessed by demons”, and Jesus continues to
exercise his authority by healing them, Jesus does not allow
the demons “to speak because they knew him”. This silencing is another example of Jesus’ power, which is superior to
that of the demons. We will encounter this theme frequently
in Mark’s text.
For reflection: When have I empathized with Job?
How did I get through the suffering? Like Peter’s mother-in
-law, God has blessed me in many ways. What has been my
response?
The Beautiful Gift of Light
Matthew 25 Project Continues
Blessed Teresa Parish is continuing the Matthew 25
project by serving dinner to the homeless at the Joseph
House on the third Friday of every month. Our next
dates are February 20th and March 20th. We will meet
in the St. John’s parking lot at 8:30 PM and car pool to
the Joseph House. If you would like to participate,
please register by calling Jim & Mickey at 856-8585484. You can participate for just one night or as
many nights as your wish. We ask that all participants
be adults or high school age.
The Sanctuary Light burns seven days a
week, every week of the year before the
Blessed Sacrament. If you would like
this candle to burn in memory of a loved
one, e.g. a birthday, anniversary of
death, wedding anniversary, or any special occasion, please call
our parish office. The name of the person to be remembered and
the donor will be published weekly in our bulletin.
Suggested offering is $25.00.
The Sanctuary Light at Holy Saviour for the week of Feb. 8th is in
memory of Anita Cole requested by the Cole Family.

Wondering what we offer
the young people of the
parish? Join us on Sunday, February 8th at 7pm
in McLaughlin Hall to learn what youth ministry is
up to and help us decide our future events! We’ll
be discussing future service projects, trips, and
youth group meetings! If you have ever been curious what youth ministry has to offer, this is the
perfect opportunity to stop by and have your questions answered. Bring a friend and enjoy snacks,
good company, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
Let us know how we can serve you! Contact Tim
Rooney, youth minister, for more info:

We are also pleased to announce that our Souperbowl of Caring collection for Cathedral Kitchen

Camden.
THANK YOU
A leƩer was sent to Henry Leimkuhler from the Angel
Tree Team thanking Blessed Teresa of CalcuƩa for
their support this past Christmas in Angel Tree Christmas 2015. Twenty-two children received two or more
presents personally delivered to them.

FOOD PANTRY UPDATE
We have become a much more
important source of food for the
community now that the food pantry at Grace Baptist Church in Haddon Township has
shut down! However, our resources are
limited as we are not government funded and operate
strictly on donations. The Society of St. Vincent de
Paul, which operates the food pantry, is ever grateful
for your generous donations which help us to put food
on the table for many families. As always, we try to
provide main meal items that might not be available at
the area’s remaining food pantries.
We always need donations of canned fruit, chunky
soups, stews, canned meat and fish, pasta and sauce,
and small jars of jelly, crackers, cereal (hot and
cold) and other main meal items.
We cannot accept perishables, expired items, meal
supplements or items which have been previously
opened. Again, thank you for living the gospels by
helping us to feed the hungry!
St. Vincent DePaul Sandwich Making
Takes place February 16th (3rd Monday every month)
at 7PM in Good Shepherd Cafeteria. Bring your own
bread, meat and cheese and join us! We supply sandwich
bags and gloves.
Due to a nice turn out of families for Dr. King service
day we were able to make 1170 sandwiches this week.
Thank you to all who helped out! Our Discussion Meeting takes place on the 3rd Tuesday of the Month, February 17th at 7PM in the conference room of the Faith Formation Center.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Men’s Club
The Men’s Club is an organization that provides an

activities include:

weekly scripture sharing group that reads and
discusses the Sunday readings. They meet on
Thursday mornings 10-11AM in the Faith Formation Center. Please consider stopping by when
you can!

reality of family life.

Catholic Schools Week
“Student Appreciation Day”
to Learn ...to Serve ...to Lead & Succeed!!
From the Principals Desk ....
Catholic Schools Week began in 1974 to highlight the
good works and achievements of Catholic schools
throughout the nation. From its first theme "Catholic
Schools, Different Where It Counts--Message, Community
and Service," to its current theme "Communities of Faith,
Knowledge and Service," Catholic schools have been a
vibrant part of the educational system in our nation.
Good Shepherd School celebrates its high academics as well
as its service during this week long celebration. On Sunday
they gathered together for Mass at St. John Church followed
by an Open House. Families visited with staff in the
classrooms followed by a brunch in the cafeteria.
On Monday, Good Shepherd School celebrated their
families as grandparents, parents and other family members
participated in special classroom activities followed by the
special Liturgy celebrated with Bishop Sullivan and priests
associated with Good Shepherd at St. John's Church.
On Wednesday, the children wrote thank you cards and
letters to their local police officers, thanking them for their
service in keeping them safe.
Thursday was "Student Appreciation Day" and students
celebrated with a special Gym Extravaganza and sundae
making courtesy of their parent's group.
On Friday, the school community celebrated the school staff
with a special breakfast.
Good Shepherd Regional Catholic School is a community
of Faith, Knowledge and Service!

Donald Garecht

From the Office of Ministry With the Deaf and Persons with Disabilities
“Rising very early before dawn, Jesus left and went off to a
deserted place, where he prayed.” Mark 1:35
“Love to pray. Feel often during the day the need for prayer, and take trouble to pray. Prayer enlarges the heart until
it is capable of containing God’s gift of Himself.”
Mother Teresa
Jesus needed to pray...what an example He gives to us...this
week take time to pray...deepen your relationship with God.
Blessings, Sister Bonnie
“The beauty of human beings lies in their capacity to
accept who they are, just as they are; not to live in a
world of dreams or illusions, in anger or despair, wanting to be other than they are, or trying to run away from
reality. They realize that they have the right to be themselves. And there, they discover that they are loved by
god, that they are unique and important for God and
that they can do things for others. We may not all be
called to do great things that make the headlines, but
we are all called to love and be loved, wherever we
may be. We are called to be open and to grow in love
and thus to communicate life to others, especially to
those in need.” Jean Vanier
Billy holds the
Bible as Pete
shows an act of
reverence for
God’s Word.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Reflecting on our recently completed Stewardship Appeal,
it is clear to see that Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish is
truly blessed. We are working together to create and sustain a community of belonging where each individual’s
dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the solidarity of
our shared faith, the respect and affection we have for one
another, and our mutual dedication to our God-given mission.
HOUSE OF CHARITY
2015
With God's help we will continue to grow in discipleship.
The willingness of our members to enter into sacrificial
giving of time, talent, and treasure in response to our Stewardship Appeal speaks of our continuing gratitude for God's
gifts.
May God continue to bless us as we share in His work!
STEWARDSHIP APPEAL UPDATE
Our Stewardship Appeal was a great success. To date,
321 number of households have increased their weekly
contribution in response to the letter from Fr. John, representing a combined weekly increase of $3,106.75 The average increase in the weekly offering is $9.68.
If you have not already done, so, you can still use the
special stewardship envelope to indicate your new level of
giving, and return to your regular envelope packet for succeeding weeks. If you are interested in receiving information on our Electronic Giving Program, please contact
the parish office.
We would like to thank our parishioners for their generosity
in making this Stewardship Appeal such a great success.

Dear Friends:
Grace and Peace!
Within the next few weeks you should receive a letter
and brochure form Bishop Sullivan regarding the
2015 House of Charity - Bishop’s Annual Appeal.
The theme this year is We Are Called. I hope you
will take a few minutes to review those materials and
the wonderful opportunity that a donation to this vital
program will provide.
By your gift to the House of Charity, you show the
many who are in great need of pastoral, charitable,
educational and social ministry in our Diocese that
you treasure them in Jesus’ name. When you make
a sacrificial gift to the House or Charity, you offer the
treasure of hope. You offer the treasure of God's
love.
Please know that I am most grateful to you for your
continued generosity to our parish, and for your willingness to consider the needs of those less fortunate
in our community. I ask you to pray for me and our
community as we seek to live the Gospel and serve
each other in Jesus’ name.
We have already collected $11,360 towards our goal
from 25 families. This is 8 1/2% of our goal of
$134.137.25.
Peace and every Blessing!
