SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS SCHOLARSHIP
Recently, a representative from the Diocese of Charleston St. Thomas Aquinas Scholarship
Funding Organization came to Holy Trinity for a legislative reception and to award the school
two scholarships. These scholarships are part of the “school choice” legislation that was
passed in June of 2014 and applies to children with exceptional needs. The legislation
allowed the formation of 501c3 corporations to act as scholarship granting organizations to
support exceptional needs students in non-public schools. People and businesses that
donate to any qualified Scholarship Funding Organization may make a donation that equals up to 60% of her/his state income tax paid
in 2013. In turn, the donor may take, with the permission of the Department of Revenue, a dollar-for-dollar credit on her/his 2014 state
income tax. At the recent HTCS reception, Mrs. Greg Hembree, wife of Senator Greg Hembree, was present for the presentation.
The First Annual Holy Trinity Catholic School Derby Party will take place on May 2, 2015 at 3:00pm until after the race at the
Brentwood Restaurant & Wine Bistro, Little River, SC. The event includes heavy hors d’oeuvres, dessert and wine. There will be
music, a hat contest, mint juleps to purchase, silent and live auctions, mystery envelopes, heads or tails game and the finale is the
running of the Kentucky Derby race shown on a big screen TV. Tickets are $65 in advance and $75 at the door. Tickets will be
available soon! Please watch the bulletin for ticket purchase options. However, you may reserve tickets by calling the school, 843-3904108. Sponsorships for the Derby Party are also available. Please call the school for information on sponsorships. Music for the event
will be by the Trexlers.
PELICANS BASEBALL GAME
On Friday, April 24th, Holy Trinity Catholic School will sponsor its annual Pelicans Baseball Game. To order tickets, simply call the
school at 843-390-4108 between the hours of 8:30am and 2:30pm. Tickets are $11 each. Our school choir will sing the national

5th Sunday of Lent
SOCIAL OUTREACH
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].
To All Graduating Seniors
If you are a graduating High School Senior and a Member of
Our Lady Star of the Sea parish and planning to continue
your education, the Ladies Guild would like to hear from
you. We are offering four $ 1,000.00 scholarships to help
four graduating seniors with college expenses. Applications
for the awards are available in our Church Office and in the
Guidance Office at North Myrtle Beach High School. All
applications with their required essays will be considered by
the Scholarship Committee and after a personal interview,
four students will be chosen for the scholarship monies.
Deadline for the application is April 24th.
God Bless you all and good luck.
Questions, call Marlene Walker at 843-249-5355.
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
James & Shirley Ranieri at the 8:00 AM Mass.
Diaconate Formation Information Meeting
Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston
Office of the Permanent Diaconate
In communion with the bishop and priests, deacons
are ordained for a distinct ministry, which is indicated
by their name: they are ordained for service. They function in all
three areas of the Church’s life: transmission of the Word,
celebrating of the sacraments, and in the community’s active love.
The deacon, therefore, is more properly defined in terms of who
he is rather than of what he does. He is a visible sign of the
Church's call to “diakonia” — service. He is both servant and
sacrament.

Thank You,

QUINTO DOMINGO DE CUARESMA
"SI EL GRANO DE TRIGO QUE CAE EN TIERRA NO MUERE
QUEDA INFECUNDO, PERO SI MUERE; DA MUCHO FRUTO".
(Evangelio de San Juan 12,20-33)
Queridos Hermanos:
En la Liturgia de este Domingo podemos meditar en varios puntos
importantes:
1. El Evangelio, nos presenta a unos griegos, preguntando a Felipe, si es
posible ver a Jesús. Felipe en su camino, encontrará mucha gente que le harán
la misma petición: "Queremos ver a Jesús". Así como le hacen a Felipe esa
petición, también se la hacen a los otros Apóstoles, y también a cada uno de
nosotros. En medio de nuestros trabajos, de nuestros compromisos, de nuestro estilo de vida, puede haber
personas que nos hagan dicha petición: "Queremos ver a Jesús". Por lo tanto; preguntémonos: ¿Los demás
ven en nosotros a Jesús?.
2. Jesús nos habla de su muerte. El sabe que han planeado su muerte, pero no huye, El está decidido a dar
su vida por los demás. Con la imagen del grano de trigo, Jesús nos muestra la fecundidad de su muerte. Su
muerte es de valor salvífico universal. El vive su muerte como un triunfo sobre las fuerzas del mal. Pero
también; vive su muerte como angustia y tentación, pero reacciona reafirmando su decisión de morir por una
causa justa. La vida es fruto del amor; y brota en la medida en que nos entregamos. Cuando uno ama, no
puede ser indiferente al dolor y sufrimiento. Amar significa también sufrir y padecer.
3. Jesús nos dice: "Ha llegado la hora". La actividad de Jesús, no es solamente un camino hacia "la hora",
sino una anticipación de la misma, no es solamente promesa de salvación, sino salvación en el acto. Por lo
tanto; se trata de vivir toda la vida, cada momento, siguiendo a Jesús y recorriendo su camino. Es decir,
vivir la vida con un dinamismo total y absoluto, aceptando un camino de pasión y sufrimiento por defender
y dar la vida. La Gloria y plenitud de Dios; y nuestra propia gloria y plenitud, no se manifiestan a través del
poder y del triunfo, sino a través de la entrega y muerte de cruz.
4. Debemos leer los signos de los tiempos. La vida está llena de preguntas, encuentros y señales. Muchas
veces, sin embargo, pasa desapercibida. Nada de lo que acontece, nada de lo que vivimos, nada de lo que
vemos y escuchamos, nos llama la atención. Y sin embargo es la hora. Dios se está hacienda presente. Son
señales de Dios. Recordemos que Dios, sigue manifestándose para que nosotros percibamos su salvación y
su gloria. El verdadero creyente, está atento a los signos de
los tiempos, sabe percibir la voz de Dios y está listo para su
llegada.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella nos ayude, a ver
a Jesús en cada Sagrada Eucaristía; y seamos conscientes
que comiendo su Cuerpo y bebiendo su Sangre, nos estamos
