LENTEN REGULATIONS 2015
Lent begins Ash Wednesday,
February18, 2015
Masses will be
8:00 AM, 12:00 Noon, 6:00 PM
8:30 PM (In Spanish)
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday
are days of fast. On days of fast, one
full meal is allowed. Two lesser meals, sufficient to
maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's
needs, but together they should not equal another full
meal. Eating between meals is not permitted. Catholics
who have completed their 18th year are bound by this law
until the beginning of their 60th year.
Ash Wednesday and Fridays of Lent are also days of
abstinence. On days of abstinence, meats should not be
taken at any meal. The law of abstinence binds all
Catholics who have completed their 14th year.
The Obligation to observe, as a whole or "substantially",
the penitential days specified by the Church is a serious
obligation. The Code of Canon Law states:
"On these days of Penance, the faithful are in a special
manner to devote themselves to prayer, to engage in
works of piety and charity, to deny themselves, by fulfilling
their obligations more faithfully and especially by
observing the fast and abstinence…"
May this Holy Lenten season provide us an opportunity for
deepening our faith, hope and love through a life of deeper
prayer, penitential practices, and works of charity.

SCHOOL REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2015-16 school year at Holy Trinity Catholic School began during Catholic Schools
Week. If you would like to register a student/s, please either call the school office (843-390-4108) to make
an appointment for a tour or stop out to the school to pick up a registration packet. Holy Trinity will open
another classroom next year and will then be a K4 to Grade 8 school. If you know of someone who is
looking for an excellent school for their child/children, please let them know about Holy Trinity and give
them the school phone number so that they can contact the school. The principal will be happy to answer
any questions that they might have.
WAYS TO ASSIST THE SCHOOL
It is very easy to earn cash and supplies for Holy Trinity Catholic School through the following easy to do fundraisers:
* Clip Box Tops and Campbell Labels from products you normally purchase and then turn them in to the
church office or the school
* Download the FREE Shoparoo App on your smartphone and just take pictures of the receipts from your
everyday purchases (Download the App for all the details)
* Connect your Bi-Lo Card to the school by signing it up on line
* Use the Publix key ring card that was given out at the Catholic Schools Week Church Mass – simply
have the cashier scan it before scanning your items and the school will receive a cash credit every
quarter (cards are available at the church office if you did not get one)
* Turn in your used ink jet cartridges to the school or church office
Thanks to all who assist us in the above ways. The school has been able to purchase P.E. equipment and has received
cash payments. Thank you so much.
ANNUAL FUND
The Annual Fund appeal is ongoing. The funds raised through this appeal will be used to improve our outdoor facilities

Thank you for the donations already received and for those yet to come. If you did not receive the appeal literature,
please call the school at 843-390-4108 and a packet will be mailed to you or, if you would like to make a donation, simply

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
Ed & Joan Vaitis at the 5:00 PM Mass.

Knights of Columbus Ultra Sound Campaign
"Let's Be the Voice of Those Who Have No Voice"
The Knights of Columbus Council 7122 at Our Lady Star
of the Sea Church is committed to the community and the
spiritual needs in our parish. Among them, is the Crusade
for Life, which protects the rights of Unborn Children.
Besides prayer, one of the most successful tools in
stopping abortion is the Ultra Sound Machine. When a
young woman sees her baby on the ultra sound, more
times than not, she sees this image as her child and not a
“choice”. Often, she will decide not to abort the child.
The Knights of Columbus help to purchase these machines
to keep the Pro Life movement moving forward and save
as many babies as we can.
Please help us in the Crusade for Life by donating after
Masses on February 14 & 15, 2015. Your donation could
save a life.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A VOICE.

the families who struggle to make ends meet.

2015 Bishop’s Annual Appeal
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Once again, as we begin the
2015 Bishop’s Annual Appeal, I
encourage your sacrificial support as
we join this effort with Catholics
throughout South Carolina. Each year, our diocesan-wide
ministries serve the poor and disadvantaged, educate our
youth and adults, as well as support the clergy and
religious that are serving in our state. The Bishop’s Annual
Appeal challenges us to look beyond our own parish
boundaries and consider the broader mission of the
Church, not just in South Carolina but throughout the
world.
With an overall goal of $3 million dollars, and a
parish target of $67,965, this undertaking presents you, as
parishioners, with an opportunity to support the universal
mission of our church. When we surpass our goal, we then
receive back 50% of funds raised beyond our goal.
In the coming weeks, each of us will have an
opportunity to support this cause through the direct mail
appeal from Bishop Guglielmone and at weekend Mass. I
know we will respond to this challenge as we have in
previous years.
Thank you again for all that you do to support our
parish and diocese. May God continue to bless you and
your loved ones.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. D. Anthony Droze

QUINTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
JESUS CURA A LA SUEGRA DE PEDRO
(Evangelio de San Marcos 1, 29-39).
Queridos Hermanos:
La actuación de Jesús se caracteriza por una autoridad sorprendente, suscitando
entre las gentes, el interrogante por el misterio de su persona. Es además, una
actuación que no se limita solamente al espacio religioso, sino que se extiende
también al espacio privado y profano. La Buena Noticia no se puede quedar
aprisionada solamente en el ambiente religioso, sino que afecta al ser humano en
todas sus dimensiones.
Donde está Jesús hay vida, crece la vida y se lucha por la vida. Jesús cura a los enfermos, acoge a los desvalidos,
perdona a los pecadores, cura a los que están poseídos por espíritus malignos, y entre todos sus milagros, Jesús cura a
la suegra de Pedro. Jesús siempre cura y sana. Jesús siempre está atento a los males y dolencias de las personas. Por
eso, siempre a su alrededor están los poseídos, enfermos, leprosos, paralíticos, ciegos, sordos, marginados, etc. Jesús
humaniza, libera, devuelve la alegría y la vida a todos.
Jesucristo, sale de la Sinagoga a realizar la pastoral de enfermos, y dirigiéndose a la casa de Simón-Pedro, cura a su
suegra quién se encontraba enferma. Jesús cura a la suegra de Pedro un día Sábado, día de reposo y oración, que la
casuística farisea, había convertido en camisa de fuerza, prohibiendo todo tipo de trabajo. Pero para Jesús, es más
importante la vida de las personas, que observar el día Sábado. "El Sábado es para el hombre y no el hombre para el
Sábado".
En la curación de la suegra de Pedro, podemos observar tres detalles importantes: -Primero, Jesús toca a la enferma y
la toma de la mano. Es un gesto maravilloso y humano. Un gesto de estos vale más que mil palabras. -El segundo
detalle, tiene un sentido cristológico: Jesús sana y levanta a la enferma. El verbo levantar, expresa resurrección y
vida. Es como un anticipo de lo que será la radical y total curación de todo: La Resurrección de Jesucristo. El tercer
detalle, es la reacción de la enferma que se puso a servirles. Jesús quiere, que el resultado inmediato de su actividad,
sea la actitud de servicio a las personas. Por eso El lo dijo un día: "No vine a ser servido sino a servir. Vine a dar la
vida en rescate por todos".
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude en nuestro trabajo pastoral, teniendo siempre una actitud de
servicio a los demás.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
