Moses explains to the people that a prophet will come from

speaks in the name of other gods shall die.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
As Jesus was teaching, a man with an unclean spirit came to

authority he had over the spirit.

Liturgical Art and Environment
Have you wondered why we have an old antique
trunk centered at the altar?
Since November when we celebrated our fifth
anniversary as St. Simon Stock Parish, we have
centered at the altar an antique trunk. Trunks
signify history, mystery, traditions and
treasures. For us at St. Simon Stock Parish it is
all of these. This same trunk adorned our
worship space in 2009-2010, the first year of our
new parish. We brought it back and have
centered it in our liturgical celebrations.
November – the fruits of the harvest
December – the time of anticipation- Veni
Emmanuel-Come Lord Jesus
Christmas Time – the arrival of the Infant KingWonder Counselor
January/February – the treasures of our faith;
the Gospels, Roman Missal; hymnal; Prayers
and scriptures
February/March/April/May - Ash Wednesday and
throughout the Easter Season – Repent and
Follow Me into New Birth-Alleluia!
These are the treasures, traditions and mystery
of our faith journey so far!
Share this with your family, your children and
your friends. What a wonderful visual image!

Child Lures Prevention Program
Just the Way You Are (You’re Amazing)
The Diocese of Camden has selected Child Lures Prevention
as a safe environment program for our religious education
programs in the parishes. The basic premise is that an
individual who intends to harm a child uses a “lure” to get the
child away and to do harm. So, children are taught how to
recognize lures and how to protect themselves.
Each year your child will be taught a different lure. The
Diocese of Camden is committed to ensure that the children
entrusted into our care are safe and that we provide them with
the tools they need to guarantee their safety.
Presenter: Jessica Boyington – former Alumni of
OLMC School, Paul VI and Miss New Jersey, USA
Jessica is known not only from her time as Miss New
Jersey but also from working as a traffic reporter for
CBS 3 Eyewitness News and the Chio in the Morning
show on Wired 96.5.
Fresh Fruit, Cookies & Chocolate Dessert Bar.
Beauty Samples from Arbonne – Pure, Safe,
Beneficial Health & Wellness Products. Please RSVP to
brolmc@comcast.net by February 12th.
If you do not wish your child to participate in the session,
please let Mrs. Raiker know immediately. If you have any
questions about the program, please do not hesitate to call me
for further information at 856-756-7900 ext. 6010.

STEWARDSHIP
TIME, TALENT AND TREASURE
Parish Guidelines for the
Prevention of the spread of the flu during Mass
STEWARDSHIP
Stewardship Prayer
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of
anxieties.” - 1 CORINTHIANS 7:32A
How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by
constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining
more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything
you want, but He will provide His STEWARDS with
everything they need. Try this – use the word “pray”
instead of the word “worry” in the future.
Parishioners who feel ill should be reminded to stay at
home and refrain from attendance at Mass or other
church events until they are fully recovered. Illness is a
justifiable excuse from the Sunday Mass obligation.
During the flu season, the faithful should be encouraged
to share the Sign of Peace without touching hands or
kissing. This may be done with eye-contact, a smile, and
a bow of the head while saying the words “May the
peace of Christ be with you.”
OFFERTORY COLLECTION
January 18, 2015
Sunday Collection: $ 11,466.00
Electronic Parish Giving: $ 640.00
Mission Membership Sunday: $1,403.00
Capital Needs Debt Collection: $ 468.00
Electronic Parish Giving: $ 60.00
Candles: $ 199.00
Poor Box: $ 325.00
The GIRM helps in this by saying in Chapter II par.82:
“…the faithful express to each
other their ecclesial
communion and mutual charity…it is appropriate that
each person, in a sober manner, offer the sign of peace
only to those nearest.”
During the flu season, priests, deacons, and
extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion should be
especially reminded of the need to practice good
preventative hygiene. Ministers of Holy Communion
should be encouraged to wash their hands before Mass
begins, and even to use an alcohol-based anti-bacterial
solution before and after distributing Holy Communion.
Junior Choir News: The Junior Choir is open to all
youth of the parish, second grade and above. You may
join anytime during the year. We welcome all. For more
information, please call Mary Ziccardi at 435-0901.
The faithful should be instructed not to receive from the
cup if they feel ill. That "no one is ever under an
obligation to receive from the chalice" and that "anyone
who is ill, or suspects he or she is ill, should refrain from
receiving from the chalice out of good will and consider
receiving the host in the hand rather than by the mouth."
(USCCB – Secretariat for Divine Worship)
St. Vincent de Paul

During the flu season, greeters and ushers should use
verbal greetings only and not shake hands with
parishioners.
BERLIN COMMUNITY SCHOOL FASHION SHOW
Berlin Community School Fashion Show will be held at

troubled, to be homes of communion and prayer and to
always seek your truth and live in your love.

Catholic Charities’ Year of the Family newsletter for the
month of January is now available on our website:
http://www.catholiccharitiescamden.org/wpcontent/uploads/2015/01/Jan.-newsletter.pdf
The theme for the month of January as we move through
the human lifecycle is school-age children. The
newsletter contains an article for parents on navigating
those years with their children from one of the
counselors in our school-based family support program.
We also use this issue to highlight our asset
development program as we begin a new year. Finally,
to commemorate the Catholic Bishops’ observance last
week of National Migration Week, the issue contains a
reflection on the refugee families we serve from our
refugee and immigration services program director.

of the Family at Catholic Charities and to subscribe to

PICTURING MARY
Picturing Mary, presented by the National Museum of
Women in the Arts (Washington, DC), is a rare
opportunity to meet Mary as she was imagined by some
of the greatest Renaissance and Baroque artists.
More than sixty masterworks are brought together from
museums, churches, and private collections in Europe
and the United States. The exhibition presents images of
Mary as a daughter, cousin, and wife; the mother of an
infant; a bereaved parent; the protagonist in a rich life
story; a link between heaven and earth; and an active
participant in the lives of those who revere her.
Need the perfect gift for your spouse
this Valentine’s Day?
Celebrate the Virgin Mary through beautiful art that
visually captures her importance to your faith. For more

of Women in the Arts, 1250 New York Avenue NW,
