A NOTE FROM FATHER ANDREW
Dear Parish Family,
If you didn’t get a chance to attend the Winter Wine Fest this year you really missed another great event.
This year’s event was our best ever. My thanks to a fantastic Wine Fest Committee who have been plan-
ning since September. To all the volunteers who helped on the night of the event in any way; my sincere thanks, we could not
have done it without your participation. Whether you helped pour the wine, set up for the restaurants, serve the delicious food,
be part of the fabulous band Mid Life Crisis, assist with clean up during and after, I am truly grateful for your dedication to the
parish and making Winter Wine Fest 2017 a wonderful success.
I want to call your attention to the bulletin announcement of Lenten Longings and the sign ups for Small Groups this week-
end. We are presenting to the parish this wonderful opportunity to renew yourself for Lent. Lenten Longings is sponsored by
Renew International it is a time of prayer, reflection and conversion. For 6 weeks in the Lenten Season which includes Palm
Sunday we invite you to join a small group and experience Lenten Longings and make this experience the focus of your Len-
ten journey. Sign ups begin this weekend and next weekend. You can sign up on line on our website or at the table in the atri-
um. Please give some serious thought about joining a Small Group during the Lenten Season. This is a wonderful way to en-
rich your faith.
This week we begin a new message series entitled “Tough Love” I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you over the next
four weeks.
“You are the light of the world.” Speaking to his followers, Jesus tells them of the Influence they are meant to have. Like the
seasoning that gives food its flavor, they are to be “the salt of the earth” and like a lamp on a lampstand that “gives light to all in
the house.” Clearly, their influence on the people around them is meant to be positive and substantial. But what is the source of
this irreplaceable influence?
Elsewhere in the Gospels, Jesus declares that he is “the light of the world” (cf. Jn 8:12). So when he tells his disciples that “your
light must shine before others,” he is speaking about the light that comes from following him, from believing in him, from living
their lives for him and with him. The light of Christ brightens the world, showing us the truth and meaning of our existence.
And to the extent that we have that light in our hearts, it naturally spreads out to impact those around us.
So, today we must ask ourselves whether or not we are shining the way we are meant to as Christians. Do we brighten up
our families, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and our parishes? Are people encouraged, inspired, edified, taste of the au-
thentic truth, beauty, and goodness that comes from God alone? Or have we become a bit bland, like salt that “loses its taste” or
light that is hidden “under a bushel basket”? It’s important to be on guard against any tendency to let our faith be reduced to a
mere routine or ritual. Rather, when we nurture our faith to be a living force that defines us and our actions, it will be a source
of joy and renewal not only for us, but for the whole world.
Have a wonderful week. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekend!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your
Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16
The generosity of being a good steward of your gifts has a positive effect on people and it
is contagious! Good works encourages more good works. Let your light shine! Be careful
to recognize that God is working through you and don’t put yourself above the people
you have been called to help.

ST. V INCENT DE PAUL
Each week we receive phone calls on our Hot Line from families requesting assistance from us for rent, heating,
utilities and medical bills. We visit with these families to discuss their request for assistance. As a group at our
general meetings, we decide the best ways to help those in need. All Information is confidential. If you know any-
one in need or need help yourself, don't hesitate to call our Hot Line at 609-268- 0005.
If you would like to become a member of our society, we invite you attend one of our meetings to decide if it is right for
you. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at the church. We warmly welcome you and can
certainly use more volunteers to help us assist those in need in our community.
Items needed this Week : Paper Products: Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Napkins, Tissues
Love in reality is a terrible thing compared to love in dreams. Love in dreams is love is easy. It is easy to
love people in our imaginations. It is easy to love humanity, it is very difficult to love real people and
requires all we have. In this message series, we will look at some of the demands of love and work to
draw people to the conclusion that they need God’s grace to truly love others.
Jesus tells his followers that they are salt for the earth and light for the world. Salt was needed in that culture to preserve and
give flavor to food. Light is needed He tells them that their actions matter and make a difference in the world. Loving people
when it is tough, loving people in reality through good deeds gives salt and light to a weary world. God gets the glory when
we do good for others?
Week One
1. When was the last time you were rewarded in any way? What did you do to earn that reward?
2. Do you ever feel a pull towards work or putting your energy into activities so that you miss opportunities to love others?
How do we live out the tension between having tasks to get done and our responsibility to love others?
3. Have you ever been criticized for doing the loving thing? What was your reaction? Has it kept you from acting out of love
since then?
4. Love in our heart doesn’t get criticized, but love in action does. How do we live with the boldness of the woman who
anointed Jesus?
5. Read aloud Mark 14:9. How does that verse inspire us to give our best energy to loving others?
6. Has God placed a radical action on your heart or do you feel you are called to make smaller deposits? How can you put
love in action this week for the tough love in your life?

Our Parish Youth Ministry would like to thank Father Andrew, The Knights of Columbus #8733 and the
entire parish for their support of our trip to the 2017 March for Life in Washington D.C. last week on January
27. A group of 18 teens and adult chaperones took a pilgrimage, by school bus, to the annual PRO-LIFE Ral-
ly & March. This year, the 44th March for Life, was filled with enthusiasm and huge crowds. Our teens
wowed the crowd! Along the march they were asked to stop for hundreds of pictures and were interviewed by
the Wall Street Journal.
Our HERO's would especially like to thank our adult volunteers who traveled with us: Jeff & Linda Siedlecki (Ministry coor-
dinators), Dr. John DePalma, Jessica Garret, Tony Elentrio, Brandon Siedlecki and Marisa Walker. Our Teens again thank
the parish for their continual support and hope to make this an annual pilgrimage.
HERO is Holy Eucharist Reaching Out Youth Ministry. All Teens Welcome, All the Time. We meet every Wednesday night
7-8:30pm in the Cafe for Faith and Fun. Adult Volunteers are asked to call the parish office or contact Jeff Siedlecki at 609-
346-9063.

DON'T GIVE UP DESSERT THIS LENT
Instead, join a small group for 6 weeks during Lent to read Scripture and share your faith.
What is a “Small Group”?
Small groups are faith communities that provide an opportunity for parishioners to get to know one another better in a
unique, comfortable, and casual setting: the home. The groups help participants deepen your faith and integrate it more fully
into your work and relationships. The small group experience enhances the Sunday liturgy, by helping us to better apply the
teachings of the Mass to our daily lives and become more engaged in the faith community.
Sounds good but what does it look like?
The Small Groups will meet in a Host’s home or at the parish once a week for 6 weeks for about 90 minutes beginning the
first week of Lent. Small Group Leaders and Hosts will work together to decide on a day and time for their meetings. We will
be using the Lenten Longings program from Renew International. Each session will include faith-sharing, prayer, reflection,
and discussion about a topic.
How do I get more information and sign up?
This weekend and next, you can sign up for small groups and designate your preference for the kind of your group
(married with children, women only, men only, young adults, etc.). Sign up for a group that meets at a time and day
convenient for you. For more information and to sign up, please check the bulletin , our website –
http://www.holyeucharist.org/#/small-groups or visit our table in the atrium this weekend and next.

SMALL GROUP THIS LENT
On January 25th, Bishop O'Connell released his final decisions for Faith in Our Future, an eight-step
initiative meant to strengthen and enliven the parishes of the Diocese. It is a process through which
the Diocese and its parishes and ministries will plan to meet challenges and respond to new opportu-
nities for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ for years to come.
You can find the Bishop's decisions and his pastoral letter that explains the context, rationale and principles of his decisions on
the Diocese of Trenton's website - http://www.dioceseoftrenton.org/faithinourfuture/
Holy Eucharist is part of COHORT 3, along with St. Joan of Arc, Marlton, St. Mary of the Lakes, Medford, St. Isaac
Jogues, Marlton, and St. John Neumann, Mt. Laurel.
The Bishop's decisions for Cohort 3 are as follows:
1. Collaborative Model for all five parishes in the Cohort
2. Continue current Linkage Model for St. Isaac Jogues and St. John Neumann Parishes
*COLLABORATIVE PARISHES Model: Parishes within a Cohort enter into formal, collaborative relationships, working
together on specific, agreed-upon shared areas of ministry, shared programs, shared staffing, shared resources; parishes remain
distinct with their own pastor, pastoral and finance councils, finances, census and sacramental books; collaborative parishes
work together whenever possible to do what a single parish cannot do effectively alone.
The decisions on these collaborative relationships will be made in the coming months through the work of an implementation
team. The Holy Eucharist core team will include Father Andrew, John DePalma, Dave Walker, Monica Lee & Paul Giblin.
Please continue to pray that we may be strengthened and enlivened, further improve our stewardship, develop fruitful
collaborative relationships and join together in unity to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
