is recited Monday through Friday after the 8:00 AM Mass. The
Chaplet is recited in the cry room. All are invited.
MARIAN MOVEMENT - Cenacle - following Divine
Mercy every Wednesday in the Cry Room.
ROSARY
Rosary prayed every Monday through Friday before the
8:00 AM Mass. All are invited.
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 & Shirley Ranieri at the 8:00 AM Mass.

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, please

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..
CRAFT FAIR RESULTS
The 2015 Craft Fair was a HUGE success! At the
Ladies Guild December Meeting, we presented Fr. Droze
with a check for $13,000.00. Our small group of quilters
and crafters appreciated the support of our entire Parish
Community. If you donated, volunteered, cooked, ate or
shopped - we THANK YOU! A special thanks to the
Knights for sharing their Pasta Dinner, the Boy Scouts for
assisting with clean up, the office staff for their support all
year and Steve and his crew for helping us to host such a
welcoming event. May God Bless You All!

CUARTO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
Queridos Hermanos:
En este tiempo de Adviento ya próximos a la Navidad, no podemos olvidar
aquella figura tan importante que hace parte de la Historia de la Salvación:
La Santísima Virgen María. A Ella le rendimos homenaje hoy y siempre.
El Evangelio de este Domingo, nos presenta la Visita de María Santísima a su prima Santa Isabel. Ahí se
manifiesta los efectos de la Encarnación del Hijo de Dios en el Seno Virginal de María santísima. El salto de
la creatura en el vientre de Isabel, manifiesta la alegría mesiánica y la superioridad de Jesús sobre Juan
Bautista. Santa Isabel habla llena del Espíritu Santo y a voz en grito: "Quién soy yo, para que venga a mí, la
Madre de mi Señor"... María Santísima es Símbolo del Arca de la Alianza: Presencia permanente de
Yavhé en medio de su pueblo. Así María Santísima es elegida por Dios como instrumento de su Plan de
Salvación. Isabel alaba a María y la felicita por ser la elegida de Dios. Gracias a María que dijo un Sí radical
y decisivo, Dios se Hizo Hombre y habitó entre nosotros.
Ya se acerca la Navidad: Momento de Alegría y de gozo. Dejémonos invadir de la presencia de Dios a lo
largo de esta Navidad. Ya que muchas veces, nos hundimos en cosas pasajeras, o problemas y dificultades
que aparecen a lo largo del camino. Dios nos ayudará a experimentar la calma y la paz en esta Navidad. Te
invito a que reflexiones por unos instantes y te preguntes qué significa esta Navidad para tí?...Recuerda que
se puede vivir la Navidad con más alegría, cuando menos nos preocupemos por decoraciones, regalos y
cosas materiales... Y más bien nos preocupemos por ofrecer una amistad transparente y un amor
verdadero y puro... Ese es el centro de una verdadera Navidad.
En esta Navidad, toma tiempo para amar y servir. Quizá las decoraciones bonitas, los alimentos deliciosos,
regalos costosos, con el pasar del tiempo pasarán al olvido; en cambio, el amor que hayas compartido y la
amistad sincera que hayas ofrecido, vivirá y perdurará para siempre.
Permita que Dios hecho Hombre nazca en esta navidad allí en tu corazón, permita que la presencia de Dios
en tu vida, te limpie, te sane y te cure de todas tus culpas, miserias y tribulaciones. Recuerda que Dios es
Amor.
Como ya estamos próximos a la Navidad, los invito, para que con ayuda de la Virgen María, meditemos y
vivamos la siguiente Oración: "Señor Jesús: Te agradezco por el amor que me has mostrado al venir al
mundo, al vivir y morir por mí. Quiero celebrar esta Navidad contigo. Quiero que nazcas en mi corazón y en
mi vida. Quiero conocerte cada día más, para recibir el maravilloso regalo de la Vida Eterna. Ayúdame
Señor a compartir tu Amor con todos quienes estén a mi
alrededor. Amén.
Feliz Navidad para todos.
El Divino Niño los bendiga siempre.
Padre Orlando.
