Those gathered in the synagogue where Jesus taught had never heard anything like this before. They were used to the preaching of the well-educated scribes, but Jesus possessed something that those men lacked: authority. Instead of merely interpreting the laws of the prophets, Jesus presented a new vision, indeed, he shared the good news of the Gospel with his listeners. We do not have the opportunity to stand in the presence of Jesus in the same way that those first-century Jews did, but nonetheless we can also stand in awe of his authority. His teachings are available to us through the sacred Scriptures that the Church has preserved and through the sacred tradition that the Church carries on. And in a special way, Christ's authority continues to inspire and guide us through the ministries of the papacy, episcopacy, and priesthood that Jesus established on our behalf while he was yet on earth. As Catholics, we have a special share in the astonishing authority of Jesus through the hierarchy of the Church. Although this structure is often misunderstood or misinterpreted, it is actually an authority rooted in service and modeled after Christ who told his apostles, "The greatest among you must be your servant" (Mt 23:11). This humble exercise of authority is contrary to the worldly search for power. And whenever we find ourselves in a position of authority, we too should strive to lead and direct others in the true spirit of Christian love and service. Chances are, if we truly imitate Christ in this way, people will be astonished at what they see. NEW PARISHIONERS Welcome to Holy Sepulcher! To register, go to: or contact the Parish Office.

They help to promote close and positive relationships with God and with others. Catholic Schools are proven institutions of academic quality. Holy Sepulcher and all of our Diocesan Schools are fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges. Catholic Schools save the taxpayers in Western Pennsylvania millions of dollars each year. They also emphasize service to the less fortunate and spend untold hours in voluntary social service. Catholic Schools are particularly effective with the poor and disadvantaged student. The late Fr. Andrew Greely, who was a sociologist, refers to Catholic Schools as the most effective institution in the country in overcoming the effects of poverty, physical and spiritual, in young people. Catholic Schools are a great gift to our Church, our Community and our Nations. We have been so very fortunate to have an outstanding Parish School for the past fifty-eight years. Holy Sepulcher School is first and foremost about forming our children in faith. Catholic principles are reflected in every aspect of our school curriculum. Our school is also know for its quality academics. Our students consistently score high on all national tests. We have a very dedicated and outstanding School Principal, Sister Anna Marie Gaglia, CSJ, who has faithfully served our school for eight years and the new Assistant Principal, Ashley Blystone. Their primary concern is the children and this also holds true for our very dedicated faculty who work so closely with the students and parents. Finally, Holy Sepulcher students embrace the notion that faith is something to be lived through service, not held on to as a private possession. Our students, principal and faculty truly embrace the notion that, when we serve our sisters and brothers, we are serving Christ. CHURCH MINISTRY SCHEDULE Feb. 3, :00 pm Eucharistic Ministers L.

EDUCATION NEWS FAITH FORMATION Sr. Benita DeMatteis, Faith Formation Director hsfaithformation@zoominternet.net Mrs. Rachael Hortsman, Administrative Assistant hs2faithformation@zoominternet.net Jan. 28 NO Faith Formation and Good Shepherd classes Jan. 28 Liturgy of the Word 10:30 Mass Jan. 29 RCIA in Faith Formation Office 6:30p.m. Practice of Faith: Quiet! This is the word Jesus speaks to the unclean spirit before commanding it to depart in today s Gospel. It is the same word Jesus later uses to command the storm to be still. In the face of our own demons both internal and external, perhaps the command Quiet! is the one we first need to obey in faith. Only when we become quiet can God s words of direction, mercy, and healing enter our lives. Being Quiet in so many ways is a great form of prayer in such a busy world. The commanding of the unclean spirit to depart is Jesus first miracle as told in Mark s Gospel. Ancients believed that certain diseases were caused by unclean spirits inhabiting the person. The story prompts us to ask about the source of Jesus authority both in speech and in action. Notice the irony that the unclean spirit is the one who reveals Jesus true identity! Why is that? Now Accepting Applications for the school year Every child deserves an effective, challenging, and motivating education. Today s students are tomorrow s leaders, and children should have the opportunity to achieve their own American dreams. We are now accepting applications for all grades (Preschool-8th grade) for the school year. Please contact Kristine Marsico at or advancement@holysepulcher.org to schedule a tour. There is no Faith Formation Classes today because Holy Sepulcher School is having Open House. This would be a great opportunity to go and see what is happening in a place where Religion is taught and experienced five days a week.
