St. Mary’s Parish
Annapolis, Maryland
Dear Parishioners,
This week we celebrate three very special saints of the Church.
Today, March 15, we honor Redemptorist St. Clement Hofbauer, we Redemptorists consider St. Clement to be our second founder, as he spread
our congregation across the Alps and from there, throughout the world.
He has been given the title Apostle and Patron to Vienna.
Second, on Tuesday this week, March 17th, we honor St. Patrick, Apostle
and Patron of Ireland.
Lastly, we honor St. Joseph. Sometimes so much emphasis and celebration is placed on St. Patrick, that it is easy forget that just 2 days later,
March 19, we honor St. Joseph.
Scripture has little to say about St. Joseph. It does not record even one word spoken by
St. Joseph. Even without words, he shows the depth of his faith, his greatness, through
his actions and his obedience to the word of God. He was chosen by the eternal Father as
the trustworthy guardian and protector of his greatest treasures, namely, his divine Son
and Mary, Joseph’s wife. St. Joseph is a great role model in the universal church for all
Christians, especially husbands, fathers and workers. He is known as a “just (righteous)
man” because he totally lived by his faith. God entrusted Jesus and Mary to Joseph’s
care. Joseph was the head of the Holy Family. He was the foster father of Jesus and carried out his duties as a father and husband and protector of the Holy Family according to
his religious beliefs. Joseph was obedient to all of God’s requests and followed them exactly as he was told by the
angels in order to protect his family. This is how we know who Joseph was, not because of what he said that he
would do, but what he did to protect his family and his obedience to God’s word.
Devotions to St. Joseph have grown gradually in the early years of the church. In the 16th century, St. Teresa of
Avila became Joseph’s greatest champion. St. Teresa’s devotion to St. Joseph increased the interest in St. Joseph’s
life. Pope Pius IX, himself devoted to St. Joseph, in 1871 declared St. Joseph to be the Patron of the Universal
Church. His feast day for the entire church was established as March 19. Pope Pius XII added another feast day for
St. Joseph, “St. Joseph the Worker” in 1955. Pope John XXIII added Joseph’s name into the Roman Canon of the
Mass in the early 1960’s. Pope John Paul II in his 1989 encyclical Redemptoris Custos placed St. Joseph squarely
in the plan of redemption. And lastly, in the first decree of a liturgical nature of this pontificate, Pope Francis has
decided that name of St. Joseph should be added to the Eucharistic Prayers in the new Roman Missal, after the
name of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Italy has many saints that are celebrated during the entire year, especially in the south. Sicily’s most important
saint is San Giuseppe (St. Joseph). Many activities are scheduled, including the unique one called the St. Joseph’s
Table. This tradition is based on a story of a time when there was a severe drought in Sicily. No rain fell for an
extended period of time, no crops would grow, and countless people died of famine. The people prayed to God for
rain, and they also prayed to St. Joseph to intercede with God on their behalf. They promised that if God caused it
to rain, they would have a special feast honoring God and St. Joseph. Their prayers were answered, and the famine
came to an end. In gratitude, the people promised to make an annual offering of their most precious possession,
food, in St. Joseph’s honor. The tables which are set to honor St. Joseph are filled with beautiful and elaborate
foods, including meatless dishes, such as stuffed artichokes, cakes, pasta and fish, as well as breads in various
shapes, cookies, pastries, cakes and other delicacies. The tradition of the bread that is blessed at the St. Joseph’s
table is kept in the home, so that the family will never starve.
There are many saints in the history of the Catholic Church that have lived exemplary lives, lives that set examples for each one of us in our own lives. Saints Clement, Patrick and Joseph are three exemplary ones.
St. Clement, St. Patrick and St. Joseph – Pray for us!
God Bless Us All

Pastor’s Pun: Why is the letter E like the next world?
Because it is the end of time and the beginning of eternity.

Faith At The Table
Through the eyes of faith
Jesus said to Nicodemus,
“Indeed, God did not send the son
into the world to condemn the world,
but in order that the world might be
saved through him.”
(John 3:17)
Adult: Do you see the world
basically evil, or as good? What
difference does this make in the way
you live?
Child: Where do you see
goodness in God’s world?

WOMEN’S RETREAT
Shortly after I converted 4 years
ago, I saw the Dominican Retreat
notice and decided to go, even
though I knew almost no one. I
hoped to meet people like me who
were trying to get closer to God. I
was surprised to bond so easily
considering it’s mostly silent but our
talking times were full of sharing and
laughter. I was also surprised to be
encouraged to be a Lector and
Eucharistic Minister. As a result, I
volunteered for both when I returned
– just one of the many pluses of the
weekend Retreat. Come and join us
this year 4/24 - 26. Call me, Carolyn

High School Highlights
This past week, our students
celebrated Foreign Language Week.
Each morning, prayer was read
aloud over the intercom in a different
language. Saint biographies,
representing the French, Latin and
Spanish cultures, were written by
the students and hung in the
hallways of the school for all to read.
The cafeteria offered the students
international menu items, such as
Spring Rolls, Fried Rice and Fortune
cookies which represented Asian
Day. It was a wonderful celebration
of languages foreign to us.
Three of our students, Natalie
Nankervis, Annie Hayburn, and Jane
Bonfiglio, were honored as the
Capital Gazette’s 2015 High School
Outstanding Student Achievers at a
ceremony held at Anne Arundel
Community College on March 4th.

Campaign Corner
We have shared with you the latest developments in the
early learning center and team house projects. An opportunity has arisen that, if it comes to fruition, would allow
the expansion of our high school programs to include more offerings in the arts
and a larger student body, as well as potential meeting space for parish
groups. As you may have read in the local media, the
City of Annapolis is accepting bids for the property
fondly known as the Rec Center (9 St. Mary’s Street).
Many of us grew up attending art or dance class

Small Christian Communities
Would you like to share with other members of St.
Mary’s/St. John Newman in a small group setting on a
regular basis? Are you interested in deepening your faith
and integrating it more fully into your life? If so, a Small
Christian Community (SCC) might be the place for you.
By coming together with other parishioners to enhance
the Sunday liturgy and discover how it can apply to your
life, Small Christian Communities help you to live the
gospel in your daily life. The SCC members commit
themselves to being church to each other and focusing on
their Catholic faith and connecting it with everyday life.
SCCs meet regularly for a couple of hours followed by
time for social/fellowship.
At this time there are a few Small Christian
Communities that meet on a regular basis, perhaps you
might want to join one of them or start a new SCC – it only
takes two to three people. You will be provided with
training and resource materials to get started.
For more information, call Barbara Rolland at 410-9904053 or email [email protected].
Fourth Sunday of Lent
SPRING FOOD DRIVE
Next Weekend at St. John Neumann
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is
conducting a food drive to help
stock the food pantries of the
Lighthouse, for distribution to the
needy in our community. Graul’s
Market has again graciously
donated grocery bags, which
volunteers will hand out at all
Masses at St. John Neumann this
weekend. A list of Lighthousesuggested items is attached to each bag. You may
use the bag, or any other bags or boxes, to bring your
food donations to St. John Neumann Masses next
weekend. Signs will direct you to drop points in the
parking for your donations. If you would like to donate
food items, but will not be able to come to St. John
Neumann during Mass times March 21/22, or if you
have questions about the food drive, please contact
Elaine Larison at 301.353.1042/[email protected].
Thank you, as together we follow Pope Francis’
guidance that “. . . we must help one another.”

St. Mary’s Parish
Annapolis, Maryland
Queridos parroquianos,
Esta semana celebramos tres Santos muy especiales de la iglesia.
Hoy, 15 de marzo, honramos al redentorista San Clemente Hofbauer, a quien,
nosotros los redentoristas, consideramos ser nuestro segundo fundador, pues propagó nuestra congregación a través de los Alpes y a partir de ahí, a todo el mundo.
Se le ha dado el título de Apóstol y patrono de Viena.
En segundo lugar, el martes de esta semana, 17 de marzo, honramos a San Patricio,
Apóstol y patrono de Irlanda. Por último, honramos a San José. A veces tanto énfasis y celebración se coloca en San Patricio, que es fácil olvidar que dos días más
tarde, el 19 de marzo, honramos a San José.
La escritura tiene poco que decir acerca de San José. No registra una palabra hablada por San José. Incluso
sin palabras, muestra la profundidad de su fe, su grandeza, a través de sus acciones y su obediencia a la
palabra de Dios. Fue elegido por el padre eterno como el guardián confiable y protector de sus tesoros más
grandes, es decir, su Hijo Divino y María, la esposa de José. San José es un gran modelo a seguir en la
Iglesia universal para todos los cristianos, especialmente esposos, padres y trabajadores. Es conocido como
un "hombre justo (correcto)" porque vivió totalmente por su fe. Dios le confió a José la atención de Jesús y
María. José era el jefe de La Sagrada Familia. Fue el padre adoptivo de Jesús y llevó a cabo sus deberes de
padre y esposo y protector de La Sagrada Familia según sus creencias religiosas. José era obediente a todas
las peticiones de Dios y las siguió exactamente como se le dijo por los Ángeles con el fin de proteger a su
familia. Esto es cómo sabemos que José era, no por lo que dijo que haría, sino por lo que hizo para proteger a su familia y su obediencia a la palabra de Dios.
Las devociones a San José crecieron gradualmente en los primeros años de la iglesia. En el siglo XVI, Santa Teresa de Ávila se
convirtió en la más grande defensora de José. La devoción de Sta. Teresa a San José aumentó el interés en la vida de San José. El
Papa Pio IX, quien era devoto de San José, en 1871 declaró a San José ser el patrono de la Iglesia Universal. Su día festivo para toda
la iglesia se estableció como el 19 de marzo. El Papa Pio XII añadió otro día festivo a San José, "San José el Trabajador" en 1955. El
Papa Juan XXIII había añadido el nombre de José en el Canon Romano de la misa en los años 60. El Papa Juan Pablo II en su encíclica de 1989 Redemptoris Custos había colocado a San José encuadrado en el plan de redención. Y por último, en el primer decreto de carácter litúrgico de este pontificado, e Papa Francisco ha decidido que el nombre de San José debe ser agregado a las plegarias
eucarísticas en el nuevo Misal romano, después del nombre de la Santísima Virgen María.
Italia tiene muchos santos que se celebran durante todo el año, especialmente en el sur. El santo más importante de Sicilia es San
Giuseppe (San José). Están programadas diversas actividades, incluyendo una que es única llamada la Mesa de San José. Esta
radición se basa en una historia de un tiempo cuando hubo una sequía severa en Sicilia. No llovía durante periodos prolongados y los
cultivos no crecían, e innumerables personas murieron de hambre. La gente oró a Dios para que lloviera, y también rezaron a San
José para interceder con Dios en su nombre. Prometieron que si Dios hacia llover, tendrían una fiesta especial para honrar a Dios y a
San José. Sus oraciones fueron contestadas, y la hambruna llegó a su fin. En gratitud, la gente se comprometió a hacer una ofrenda
anual de su posesión más preciada, una comida, en honor a San José. Las mesas que se arreglan en honor a San José están llenas de
hermosos alimentos elaborados, incluyendo platos sin carne, como alcachofas rellenas, pasteles, pastas y pescado, así como panes en
varias formas, galletas, pasteles, tortas y otras delicias. La tradición del pan que es bendecida en la Mesa de San José se mantiene en
el hogar, para que la familia nunca muera de hambre.
Hay muchos santos en la historia de la iglesia católica que han vivido vidas ejemplares, vidas que establecen ejemplos para cada
uno de nosotros en nuestras propias vidas. Los santos, Clemente, Patricio y José son tres ejemplares.
San Clemente, San Patricio y San José – ¡rueguen por nosotros!
Dios nos bendiga a todos
El p. Tizio

La Campaña Abrazando Nuestra Misión
Hemos compartido con ustedes los últimos avances en los proyectos de centros de
aprendizaje temprano y de la casa del equipo. Ha surgido una oportunidad que, si llega a la
fruición, permitiría la expansión de nuestros programas de la escuela secundaria para incluir más ofrecimientos en las artes y una población estudiantil más grande de la escuela secundaria, así como espacio potencial para reuniones para los grupos parroquiales. Como usted pudo haber leído en los medios locales, la
ciudad de Annapolis está aceptando ofertas por la propiedad cariñosamente conocido como el Centro de
Rec (9 St. Marys Street). Muchos de nosotros crecimos asistiendo clases arte o danza, jugar deportes en su
gimnasio, o asistiendo a reuniones allí. Es fácil ver cómo este espacio podría ayudarnos a alcanzar muchas
de las metas de la parroquia y de la escuela! Le pedimos su apoyo en la oración de este esfuerzo.
