Dear Parish Family, A WARM WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS AND ALL WHO ARE VISITING WITH US TODAY! Please know we are very happy you have decided to worship with us today. You are most welcomed and loved at this special place! If you need any type of service or ministry please do not hesitate to call me or any member of our staff. We are most happy to serve you!

2018 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK: Beginning Sunday, January 28 through February 3 we celebrate our Annual Catholic Schools Week with the theme: LEARN-SERVE-LEAD-SUCCEED. We are blessed to have our own Saint

Mary Catholic School founded in 1961 by the Glen Riddle Franciscans Sisters and now staffed by a dedicated lay faculty. Join us in celebrating Catholic Schools Week here at Saint Mary Catholic School.

ASH WEDNESDAY 2018: Ash Wednesday this year falls on Wednesday, February 14 (Valentine's Day). Masses will be offered at 9:00AM, 12:05PM and 7:00PM. Please join us for Holy Mass as we begin this sacred time of the year. Perhaps you

would like to join us for our Mardi Gras Night at the Races and Casino on Saturday, February 10, 2018 from 6pm until 11pm. ALL BEFORE LENT!

MARDI GRAS NIGHT at the RACES and CASINO: I personally invite every member of our parish family to go to our Parish website and Sponsor several horses, a Race

and perhaps the Event. I also invite and encourage you to print out some Sponsor Forms and share them with your friends. This is going to be such a great night. Having Winter Blues? Come to our Mardi Gras Night at the Races and Casino on Saturday, February 10, 2018 from 6pm until 11pm in our Parish Hall. Dinner New Orleans style will be served at 6pm until 7pm. Races and Casino will run from 7pm until 11pm. Bring your friends or take your sweetheart (your Valentine get away) to this fun event as well celebrate Mardi Gras - Saint Mary Style! Tables of 8 or 10 are available! Believe it or not they are going quickly. Please go to our website and get a table and SPONSOR THIS FUN EVENT.

OFFERTORY 2018: Happy New Year, everyone! Sad to say, we are falling behind in our weekly collection. May I kindly ask you to increase your sacrificial giving to whatever amount you can afford? Perhaps a $2.00 or $5.00 increase? If you cannot at this time, I understand

and I thank you for your weekly sacrifice. If you donate by Electronic Giving, can you please make the proper increase adjustment? Thank you! Please always encourage others to attend Mass with you. Your presence and the presence of others are the greatest Gift to God.

SHOE DRIVE: Our parish community is sponsoring a SHOE DRIVE. Saint Basil the Great once said: "The shoes in your closet that you are not wearing belong to someone else". There are so many people without

the necessities of daily living. Perhaps you can help these brothers and sisters of ours by providing them a pair of new or lightly used shoes from your closet. Help someone else WALK by providing them foot wear for the journey. Drop of your new or lightly used FOOTWEAR at the ENTRANCE of our CHURCH. Thank you!

ANNUAL CENSUS AND PARISH APPEAL: It is not too late to drop off your Annual Census and Parish Appeal at the Parish Office Center (formerly known as The Parish House). Thank you very much!

Have a nice week, everyone!

Love and prayers, Father Bellopede

LENTEN WOMEN’S BIBLE STUDY Jesus, the Suffering Servant:

Part One – Mark 1-8 By: Stephen J. Binz

Mark wrote his Gospel for the persecuted church in

Rome. This first half of the Gospel focuses on the

question for all disciples, “Who do you say I am?” In his

fast-paced gospel, Mark highlights those parts of the

tradition that will help the church understand Jesus better

and follow him more faithfully. As participants in this

study, you will learn that following Jesus requires radical

conversion, deep faith in Him, and constant readiness for

the coming of God’s kingdom. Please consider joining us

for this 8-week study. Two sessions will be offered on

Thursdays from 10-11:30 A.M. or 7-8:30 P.M. beginning

February 22, 2018. Please contact Linda Nichols at

215-256-4941 or [email protected] by February 15th

to register. There will be a nominal fee for the study

guide. SCHOOL NEWS
