WELCOME
ORDER OF WORSHIP
The parishioners of St. Andrew Catholic Church
are happy to extend a warm welcome to the many
visitors who join us for worship today.
June 14, 2015
The Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Introit Antiphon
Liturgy of the Word
St. Andrew Parish,
a Roman Catholic community, seeks to nurture the faith and
serve the needs of parishioners and visitors by proclaiming
the Gospel of Jesus Christ through active stewardship,
ministries of word and sacrament, programs of Christian
formation, and works of charity and justice.
GUIDELINES FOR THE
RECEPTION OF
HOLY COMMUNION
As Catholics, we fully participate in
the celebration of the Mass when we receive Holy
Communion, the true Body and Blood of the Lord.
Yet, we Catholics should receive Holy Communion
only when we are living in communion with the
Catholic Church and in the state of sanctifying grace
and have made the appropriate fast from food and
drink.
Because of the connection we draw between being in
full communion with the Catholic Church and
receiving Holy Communion, we cannot invite those
who are not Catholic to share in Holy Communion
with us. Still, we welcome all to this celebration of the
Mass as our brothers and sisters, and pray that our
common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit will
one day draw us closer “…that all may be one.”
(John 17:22)

The applicant must have a degree in Early Childhood education and be SC certified or hold comparable certification from another state.
The Kindergarten is self-contained, so the teacher
is expected to teach all subject areas in an exciting and energetic way. Faith formation is of utmost importance in the early childhood years, so
we expect the applicant to be an active and practicing Catholic. Prior experience is desirable.
Interested applicants please forward a letter of
interest and resume to Mrs. Mary Halasz at
[email protected].
WORD OF LIFE
“Some behaviors are always wrong, always
incompatible with our love of God and the dignity
of the human person. Assisted suicide and
euthanasia are not acts of mercy but acts that
are never morally acceptable.”

MRS. MARY M. HALASZ RETIREMENT
Our school principal, Mrs. Molly Halasz,
will be retiring at the end of this school year
after 26 years of service as both a teacher and a principal.
Her career in education began in Ohio as a 3rd grade teacher in an inner city public school. After
moving to Myrtle Beach in 1984, Molly and Bill enrolled their three boys, Rob, Daniel, and Michael in
St. Andrew. Shortly thereafter, Molly began teaching 4th grade, which is a position she held at St.
Andrew until she became principal seven years later.
Both Molly and her husband Bill, have been instrumental in the growth and expansion of our St. Andrew community. As architect, Bill both designed and oversaw the building of our gym - CLC, and
the addition to our school, including much needed classrooms, such as an art room, music room,
Kindergarten, new office and meeting space, as well as a new library.
Under Mrs. Halasz' leadership, St. Andrew Catholic School received the honor of being a nationally
recognized Blue Ribbon school, which was bestowed upon us, in Washington D.C., from the Secretary of Education.
As a faith-filled leader, Molly instituted a Holy Week retreat for our school children, by which, the
students travel through Holy Week with various activities and experiences. Our teachers, also, have
been able to foster their own spiritual growth as catechists with a yearly religious retreat. We remain
grateful to both Molly and Bill for their generosity to and willingness to serve our St. Andrew community. Happy Retirement, Mrs. Halasz, we thank you and pray for you as you enter this new chapter
in your life!

MRS. MARY M. HALASZ - MEMORIES THROUGH THE YEARS
MRS. MARY M. HALASZ - MEMORIES THROUGH THE YEARS
My class graduated from 8th grade in 1994 and we were Mrs. Halasz’ first class at St. Andrew's....but she first encountered us in 3rd grade when she was a long-term substitute. I guess our class wasn’t too badly behaved because she
became the 4th grade teacher and had us for an entire year the following year.
I remember her having a kind heart and I remember that when she was reading us Charlotte’s Web, she had to get a
student to finish reading us the ending because it always made her cry. It was the first time I had seen someone else
cry over a book (besides myself) and it was refreshing to know that adults did it too. ~ Vonnie Calemine
Mrs. Halasz taught me in fourth grade, in the year 1989. She was such a fantastic teacher - one of my favorites! She
was always quick to help when I got stuck on something we were learning and she was incredibly patient. Her pleasant
attitude is what I remember most because she was always smiling. ~ Brandiann Gaston
Mrs. Halasz definitely was an inspiration for me in becoming a teacher. I took her love and enthusiasm for reading and
now share it with my 2nd graders at Costa Rica International Academy. Mrs. Halasz introduced me to my favorite children's author, Roald Dahl. I have read several books that he has written to my students over the years, and they love
every second of it. My favorite memory I have of Mrs. Halasz in 4th grade is when she was reading aloud to our class,
the book, The Witches. With her sitting on the stool and reading aloud, she almost convinced us that she was a witch!
I remember her reading, “She might even be your lovely school-teacher who is reading these words to you at this very
moment. Look carefully at that teacher. Perhaps she is smiling at the absurdity of such a suggestion. Don't let that put
you off. It could be part of cleverness. I am not, of course, telling you for one second that your teacher actually is a
witch. All I am saying is that she might be one. It is most unlikely. But--here comes the big "but"--not impossible.” Thank
you Mrs. Halasz, for showing me love, compassion, and for being an amazing teacher. You are one remarkable
woman. ~ Love, Sarah Allison
26 Roses for Molly from her staff for the 26 years of
Dedicated Service she gave to St. Andrew Catholic School.

Pope said.

each book you will find an ENVELOPE as follows:
Dear Sister or Brother in Christ:
This Catechism of the Catholic Church is a most
handy summary of the Faith that we profess as
Christians. We hope you will take it to your home and
read it.
We would thank you for helping out with the costs of
this ministry - at $5.00 for each copy of this Catechism if you are able to donate that amount (or more, or less)

PARABOLA DE LA SEMILLA
(Marcos 4,26-34).
Queridos Hermanos:
El tema de la Liturgia de este Domingo es el Reino de
los Cielos. Esta párabola de la semilla, nos muestra los
caminos de Dios, en contraste con la mentalidad
humana, resaltando su pequeñez inicial frente al
resultado final, exhortándonos a la paciencia y
esperanza frente al Reino de los Cielos. El Reino de
Dios rompe nuestros esquemas, no depende solamente
de nuestro trabajo y esfuerzo, porque ante todo es don
de Dios. Es ante todo trabajar y dejar actuar a Dios.
Jesucristo en su Apostolado, anunciaba frecuentemente
el Reino de Dios; haciéndolo presente con sus palabras,
obras y milagros. Sus gestos, sus palabras y sus
acciones acogían y transformaban a muchas personas
tanto interior como exteriormente.
Por lo tanto;
Jesucristo no nos transmite una fe teórica, sino una fe
de experiencia y llena de vida.
En la actualidad; existe el peligro de la convicción; que
para dar el máximo sentido y plenitud a nuestra vida, lo
único importante es trabajar para sacarle el máximo
rendimiento y utilidad. Es decir: "Tú vales por tu
trabajo". Pero pensar y vivir así, es estar al borde de
dos graves peligros: El primero consiste, en ahogarnos
en el activismo y trabajo, sobrevalorando nuestro poder
y obrar, y terminamos creyéndonos indispensables,
amos y señores de todo. El segundo consiste, en
hundirnos en el pesimismo y la resignación al descubrir
nuestra propia incapacidad y quedar aplastados por una
tarea que nos desborda. Quien solamente pone el
sentido de su vida, en la actividad, en el trabajo, en el
rendimiento, corre el riesgo de sentirse inútil y
fracasado, en el momento en que sus esfuerzos no se
ven coronados por el éxito.
En esta parabola;
Jesucristo nos recuerda que en el Reino de Dios hay
una fuerza vital, que no se debe a nuestro
esfuerzo. Nuestra vida no se reduce solamente a
actividad y trabajo. Es algo más profundo. Nuestra vida
es un regalo y un don de Dios.
Esta parabola, es una llamada dirigida a todos
nosotros.
es una invitación de Dios, a sembrar
pequeñas semillas de fe, esperanza y caridad dentro de
la comunidad donde nos encontramos; y de esta
manera va creciendo y germinando el Reino de Dios.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María; para que Ella
nos ayude, a trabajar por el Reino de Dios,
pero con humildad y sencillez dejando a un
lado el orgullo y la presunción.
Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando.
