PRAYER AND WORSHIP
2015 SOLEMN ADORATION OF
THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
DURING LENT
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday
8:30AM to 4:30PM
Thursday 8:30 AM to 7:00PM
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament will be
held on Friday at 4:15 PM immediately
followed by Stations of the Cross.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS
FRIDAYS DURING LENT FOLLOWING
BENEDICTION AT 4:15 PM
TRIORAE SERVICE
On the Friday before Palm Sunday, Friday, March
27th, at Our Lady Star of the Sea, there will be a
commemoration of the three hours Jesus hung
on the cross on Calvary. The service will begin
at 12 noon. Father Andy Marinak will conduct
the meditations. This service is a super way to get the full
benefits of our preparation for Holy Week.
Welcome the Visiting Madonna - While we are encouraged
to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best thing we can
do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed Mother for
guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As human
beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed Mother can
go to her Son Jesus and do wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer
devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every
family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting
Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace,
quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with
Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If
you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting
Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email
him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Jim & Jerilyn Mulhern at the 10:00 AM Mass.
GRAND STRAND CITIZENS FOR LIFE TO MARCH IN
ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

EVANGELIZATION
R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults
The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual
conversion and growth, over time, in one’s
relationship with God and the Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into the
Catholic Church.
If you’re interested in exploring a
relationship with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic
Church; becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into
the Catholic Church through the celebration of the
Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process,

LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION
On Monday, March 9th, at 3:00pm, there will be a Legislative Reception in the Holy Trinity Catholic School Library. In June of
2014 the legislature passed a “School Choice” proviso that applies directly to children with exceptional needs and their
families. This proviso allowed the formation of 501c3 corporations to act as scholarship granting organizations to support
exceptional needs students in non-public schools. To address this proviso, the Diocese of Charleston formed its own St.
Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Funding Organization which grants scholarships to exceptional needs students who are
attending Catholic elementary and secondary schools. Holy Trinity Catholic School has two students who receive
scholarships from the St. Thomas Aquinas Scholarship Granting Organization. Each school having students
who receive these scholarships will have a reception for our area legislators to thank them for their support
of this proviso and to let them know how well the program is going. If you would like to attend this reception,
please know that you are very welcome to join us on Monday, March 9th.
BOOK FAIR
Holy Trinity Catholic School will hold a book fair in the school library beginning on Tuesday, March 10th,
from 10:00am to 3:00pm. There will be a variety of different age-appropriate books to choose from. If you
would like to purchase books, please come to the school during the hours listed above. The Fair will end on
Friday, March 13th. You will be very pleased with books available.
ANNUAL FUND
So far, the response to Holy Trinity Catholic School’s Annual Fund appeal has been good but more donations are needed to
complete the projects slated to be done this summer. The focus for the summer will be the enlargement of
the playground, refurbishment or replacement of the basketball court and the addition of a picnic area for the
students. Work will also begin on construction of a regulation size soccer field. If you have already given to
the appeal, thank you so much. If you have not yet contributed but would like to do so, simply send your
contribution to Holy Trinity Catholic School and be sure that it is labeled Annual Fund.

2015 BISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL
“For I was Hungry and
you gave me food…”
OLSS OUTREACH MINISTRY
Thank you for your continued support for OUR LADY’S
KITCHEN and our families in the Food Distribution
Program. Our need is still great. Many have had hours cut
from work, putting another strain on the family income this
winter season. Our Food Security program and Our Lady’s
Kitchen has been a real life support for the families who
struggle to make ends meet. Your financial donations
and food contributions are our only means of support
for this growing need in the North Myrtle Beach
Communities. These programs could not exist without You.
Thank You,
and May God Continue to Bless You..

our church. Each year, the BAA allows us to look outside our

church.

make a one-time gift or make payments over a period of ten
months. Payments should be completed by December 31,
2015. Reminders will be mailed to you from the Diocese in

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar
TERCER DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
DIA INTERNACIONAL DE LA MUJER.
Queridos Hermanos:
En esta ocasión quiero felicitar de una manera especial, a todas las mujeres,
hoy en su día. Hoy ocho de Marzo, día internacional de la mujer; que Dios las
colme de Bendiciones hoy y siempre.
En el Libro del Génesis, Dios nos dice: "No es bueno que el hombre esté
solo, voy hacerle una compañera". Y Dios creó a la mujer, formándola de
una costilla del hombre. Y el hombre respondió: "Esta si que es carne de mi
carne y hueso de mis huesos". De esta manera, la mujer salió de una costilla
del hombre. La mujer no salió de los pies del hombre para ser pisoteada; la
mujer no salió de la cabeza del hombre para ser superior que él. La mujer
salió de la costilla del hombre, para ser igual al hombre. La mujer salió de
debajo del brazo del hombre, para ser protegida siempre. La mujer salió del
lado del corazón del hombre, para ser amada siempre.
Por lo tanto, como diría Gandhi: "La mujer es la compañera del hombre,
dotada con la misma capacidad mental...si por fuerza se entiende poder moral,
entonces la mujer es infinitamente superior al hombre...si la no violencia es la ley de nuestro ser...el futuro está
en las mujeres...".
San Pedro nos dice: "Vivid amando a vuestras mujeres sabiamente, ofreciéndoles honor como a un vaso
frágil"...Por lo tanto, la mujer es un vaso frágil, que hay que tratar con mucho amor, delicadeza, respeto y mucho
cuidado. Tenemos que recordar; según la Sicología, que la mujer trabaja con el corazón y no con la razón, de
ahí, que la mujer sea más sensible, más especial, más detallista que el hombre. Debemos admirar en la mujer su
ímpetu, y su pasión por cada actividad que hacen; el privilegio que tuvimos nosotros de nacer de una mujer...ellas
lo dan todo y lo entregan todo, en cada una de las actividades que realizan.
San Pablo nos dice: "Maridos amad a vuestras mujeres y no seáis ásperos con ellas...que el marido nunca
abandone a su mujer". Por lo tanto; la mujer no fue creada para ser golpeada, maltratada, humillada, ni mucho
menos para ser un objeto sexual, satisfaciendo los instintos sexuales y depravados de los hombres.
La mujer fue creada para ser tratada con amor, la mujer es la fortaleza del hombre, ya que sin la existencia de la
mujer, el hombre no tendría ningún sentido de existir. La mujer es la ayuda necesaria y complemento del
hombre.
Finalmente; exhorto a todos, especialmente a los caballeros, a que honremos y amemos a todas las mujeres, no
abusemos de ellas en ningún sentido, no les ocasionemos ningún daño físico, emocional o moral. Hagamos hoy
nuestro compromiso, de tratar a cada mujer como tratamos a nuestra mamá; imitando a Jesucristo, El quiso,
honró y veneró siempre a su Madre bendita María Santísima.
Queridas, amadas y muy apreciadas mujeres: FELICITACIONES HOY EN SU DIA. Dios las bendiga hoy y siempre.
Cordialmente;
Padre Orlando.
