Dear Friends in Christ,

As you can see below, I have served at Infant Jesus Parish for six years and per diocesan policy, I am

to be reviewed as your pastor. Know that I am very happy serving as the pastor of Infant Jesus

Parish and have not requested to move, but I am open to your critique of my ministry. Please read the letter for

instructions on how you can evaluate my performance as your pastor. These six years have gone very quickly and the

Lord has blessed our parish in so many ways. I have learned so much from you about the Lord. As the second letter of

Saint Paul to the Corinthians reminds us “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power

may be of God, and not of us.” Any good that I have done is to the glory of God. I trust the Holy Spirit and our

Bishop’s wisdom in knowing what is best for our parish. May your new year continue to unfold in a graced and holy

way.

God bless you,

Father Szolack

Family Prayer Crucifix for Vocations Each week we will see a family receive a Crucifix to take home for the week to pray for vocations to the

Holy Priesthood and Religious Life. It is contained in a beautiful handcrafted box which also serves as a

stand for the Crucifix. Prayers to be used by the host family are on a laminated program in the box. Every

weekend the host family will return the Crucifix in procession. A new host family will receive it at the end of Mass.

Let us pray for holy vocations to religious life from our parish. If you are praying over a possible calling, please

speak to Father Szolack.

Please contact Mrs. Denise Dietrich 215-901-3199 if you would like your family to receive the crucifix at St. John

Vianney Church. Thank you.

ST. MARGARET REGIONAL SCHOOL

CLASSROOM HIGHLIGHT

Mrs. Christine Servus– Fifth Grade

Mrs. Servus has taught at St. Margaret Regional School for 22 years. She especially enjoys teaching social

studies to both fifth grade classes. Her students are currently learning about the five regions of the United States. Using

iPads and textbooks, students work in pairs to research a given state within one of the five regions. She instructs the

students to gather various facts about their state including statehood, climate, land forms, plant and animal life, tourist

attractions and economy. Mrs Servus explained, “Not only do the students have an opportunity to learn about our great

country but they also learn the value of teamwork and the spirit of co-operation.” During the month of January, Mrs.

Servus continues to teach her students about the seven sacraments. In preparation for the Catholic Schools Week

Religion Fair, each student creates a booklet with detailed information about one sacrament. The students include

explanation of the sacrament's the proper form, applicable terminology and type of sacrament. Please keep Mrs. Servus

and her fifth grade student in your prayers this week.

St. Vincent DePaul - A heartfelt thank

you to all of our parishioners that par-

ticipated in any way in our effort to

provide Christmas for our less fortu-

nate neighbors. Whether you pur-

chased a gift for a child on our giving

tree, donated food for a Christmas dinner for a family

in need, volunteered your time to assemble or deliver

the food baskets and gifts or said a prayer asking

God's blessing, your were an integral part of spread-

ing Christmas spirit and joy to those among us that

need it the most. Through your kindness and generos-

ity we were able to distribute food baskets to 146 fam-

ilies and over 1000 gifts to children who otherwise

may not have had a Christmas at all. On behalf of the

St. Vincent DePaul Society and all of our clients

thank you and may God bless you and look kindly

upon you and your family in 2016. Have a happy,

healthy and blessed New Year!
