Sixth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Lv 13:1-2, 44-46; Ps 32:1-2, 5, 11; 1 Cor
10:31-11:1; Mk 1:40-45
Leprosy was a serious concern in the
biblical world. To be declared a leper
was to be condemned to a life apart form
the community, living “outside the
camp” in Moses’s day, later outside the towns and villages.
It was the task of the priest to declare someone unclean as a
leper and, in the case of remission, to declare them clean and
allow them to rejoin the community. The description of
leprosy, detailed in Leviticus 13, makes it clear that biblical
leprosy was not the same thing as what we call leprosy today. It could be contacted not only by people but also by
cloth and even building materials and was something to be
avoided because it was thought to be contagious.
Paul calls the Corinthians to “do everything for the glory
of God”. Our task as disciples is to witness with out lives to
God's goodness and mercy. We are called to work not just
for our own salvation but “that they may be saved”. Finally,
in words uncharacteristic of Paul, we are encouraged, “Be
imitators of me, as I am of Christ”.
The leper in today’s Gospel begs Jesus for help, “If you
would, you can make me clean. Though Jesus risks contracting leprosy and ritual uncleanliness, “moved with pity,
he stretched out his hand and touched him”. Mark tells us
“the leprosy left him immediately”, again emphasizing Jesus’ power. Jesus then commands the man to fulfill the laws
of Moses by showing himself “to the priest”, but instead the
man “began to publicize the whole matter”, making it
“impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly”.
For reflection: Who are the lepers today, and how do I
view them? Why are some good deeds better left unannounced?
The Beautiful Gift of Light
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 St. John’s for the
week of Feb. 8th was burning in memory
of Angelo Penza requested by His
Wife.
The Sanctuary Light at St. John’s for the
week of Feb. 15th is in memory of Aunt Sophie & Family requested by Kass Lovett.
The Sanctuary Light at Holy Saviour for the
week of Feb. 15th is in memory of Phillip
Attardi requested by His Wife

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.

Welcome the stranger: Action Alert
In an effort to overturn President Obama’s Immigration
reforms, the House of Representatives recently passed a
funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) which specifically defunds that part of the budget
used to allow “Dreamers” (those children brought to US
illegally by their parents) to apply for legal status. The Senate did not pass this version of the budget on Feb. 4, 2015.
The different bills now go to conference.
Take some time this week to call ( House operator(202) 224
-3121 and ask for your representative) or email your members of Congress. Tell them you demand justice for the
Dreamers and reinstatement of funding for that purpose in
the current Homeland Security Budget. If a compromise is
not reached by Feb. 28, there will be no funding of DHS.

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!
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Men’s Club
The Men’s Club is an organization that provides an

projects, social events and enrichment projects. Upcoming activities include:
x Night with John Coltraine – 2/22/15 7:00pm

FAITH FORMATION
Scripture Sharing Group
One of the most important New Year’s resolutions we can make is to pay more attention to
our spiritual life. A great way to experience the
ongoing direction of the Lord is to acquaint ourselves with sacred scripture. Blessed Teresa has
a 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! We will be using the Lenten
Longings Material during Lent.

In preparation for the Bishop’s Synod on the

to give voice to the insights you have gained

From the Office of Ministry With the Deaf and Persons with Disabilities
“...whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10: 31
“Let no one glory in their success but refer all to God in
deepest thankfulness...”
Mother Teresa
Glory...what a great “God word”! And a commission for us
at the end of Mass...“Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by
your life.” How do you glorify God in your life?
Blessings, Sister Bonnie
“When we claim and constantly reclaim the truth of
being, the chosen ones, we soon discover within ourselves a deep desire to reveal to others their own
chosen-ness. Instead of making us feel that we are better, more precious or valuable than others, our awareness of being chosen opens our eyes to the chosen-ness
of others. That is the great job of being chosen: the
discovery that others are chosen as well.” Henri Nouwen

LIFE LINE SCREENING
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish at McDaid Hall is
pleased to offer a preventive health event. Life Line
Screening, a leading provider of community-based
preventive health screenings, will host their affordable,
non-invasive and painless health screenings on
3/13/2015. Five screenings will be offered that scan
for potential health problems related to : Blocked arteries which is a leading cause of stroke, abdominal aortic aneurysms which can lead to a ruptured aorta;
hardening of the arteries in the legs which is a strong
predictor of heart disease; atrial fibrillation or irregular
heart beat which is closely tied to stroke risk; and a
bone density screening, for men and women, used to
assess the risk of osteoporosis. Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and
osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139 with our
member discount). All five screenings take 60-90
minutes to complete. In order to register for this

HOUSE OF CHARITY
2015
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!
Fr. John Bohrer
