Dear Parishioners,
March 15: St. Clement Hofbauer – Redemptorist
Among St. Clements many achievements, was his founding of a boys home in Warsaw. To keep the boys in
food and clothing he had to beg constantly. On one occasion, Clement went begging to a local pub. He
asked for a donation. One of the patrons scornfully spit beer into Clements face. Wiping off the beer, he
responded, “That was for me. Now what do you have for my boys?” The men in the bar were so astounded
by the Christ-like response that they gave Clement more than 100 silver coins.
St. Clement performed no miracles, and received no visions or ecstasies. He even had his share of faults; he
had a quick German temper, and a tendency to be rude and rough. But if you could spend a few hours in his
presence, you would find him to be a man of strong faith, a man of great calm and peace, and a man who could work tirelessly for souls. He was a man who accepted the will of God as it came to him, and did all the good that was in his power to
do. He was devoted only to glorifying God and leading others to serve him. Clement was born on December 26, 1751 in
Czechoslovakia and died on March 15, 1820. He was canonized a saint of the Church on May 20, 1909 .
March 17: St. Patrick
When Patrick was travelling around Ireland, he came across two brothers whose father had died. Instead of being sad about their father’s death, they were quarrelling over which one of them should now
own their father’s farm and possessions. At first they shouted at each other, and next they started to
fight with their fists. St. Patrick called out to them to stop fighting – but they were too angry to hear
him. One of the brothers picked up a large rock, and St. Patrick feared that he might kill the other –
and so he called out a prayer. Instantly both brothers were turned into stone. They could still hear and
see, but they couldn’t move. St. Patrick explained to them that it was wrong for brothers to fight – and
when he turned them back into men, they were so amazed that they settled their differences and were
friends forever more.
St. Patrick was born in Wales in the year 387. When Patrick was 16 years old, he was walking along the beach when some
pirates seized him. They took him to Ireland and sold him as a slave where he worked in the fields. One day, he heard God
telling him to escape, and he ran down to the sea where he found a ship waiting to take him home. When he was grown up,
he heard a voice calling on him to return to Ireland and to tell the people there about Christianity – which is what he did.
March 19: St. Joseph
A girl had prayed daily for 10 years to St. Joseph for a good husband, with no sign that her request
would ever be granted. She began to lose confidence. One Sunday morning she returned from Mass
and knelt before her statue of St. Joseph imploring him to grant her request. But after 10 minutes, in a
fit of irritation and despair, she pulled the statue from the table and threw it through the window. A
young man passing by the house was struck on the head with it, getting a severe cut. He knocked at the
door of the house for help and perhaps an explanation. The client of St. Joseph apologized, offering to
attend the injury. They became good friends. Six months later they were happily married.
The gospels give very little information about this chosen one, the earthly guardian of Our Lady and
the foster father of our Lord. He silently and faithfully went about doing his duties as well as the will of God. His steadfastness as a guardian and husband is the basis for his patronage of fathers of families. St. Joseph to whom the saying, “action
speaks louder than words,” can be applied, is the patron of engineers, manual workers, celibates and those seeking good
wives and husbands. He is invoked by those in doubt and those who desire a holy death.
St. Clement, St. Patrick and St. Joseph – Pray for us!
God Bless Us All

Pastor’s Pun: Why shouldn’t you work on fixing your Irish accent?
If it ain’t brogue, don’t fix it.
Next week is Palm Sunday. Besides the distribution of palms, we will have the proclamation of the Passion of Jesus. Both of
these are an integral part of what makes next week such a special and solemn entrance into Holy Week. It also tends to extend
Mass a little longer than usual as well. It is also a Sunday that many fallen away Catholics and non-practicing Catholics like to
return to “get their palms”. Many folks call these A & P Catholics (ashes and palms). So it will be very likely that our Masses
will be a little bit more crowded than usual. So, a little patience and kindness, both in Church and in the parking lot, will be a
wonderful example of mercy and witness!

"D a r k n e s s
in
th e
Marketplace-The
Christian at Prayer in the
World," by Thomas H.
Green, SJ, resolves the tension
between a person's desire for a fuller
prayer life and a commitment to an
active life in the world. Based on
Scripture and his own experience in
prayer and spiritual direction, he
skillfully leads his readers to the
discovery of unity between prayer
and a busy life. His message of hope
is this: our busy lives need not be
seen as obstacles to prayer, but
rather as occasions in which we can
learn to pray with a greater sense of
God's love for us. Available in the
Morality section of the SJN Parish
Library.

Ranger Rosary
This letter was received from
France this week. “Dear brother,
sister, I am a Frenchman
“Catholique.” I would like to receive
one chaplet military please. For your
association six US dollars
included. God Bless you!”
Many people love to make
rosaries. There are groups from
across the country as well as
individuals who string these
beads. Most mail them to St. Mary’s
because after thirteen years we have
an extensive list of chaplains and the
number of rosaries needed – some
up to a thousand a month. They can
request as many as they like. We
inspect and box them for shipping
and put them by the altar to be
blessed at the 12:10 Wednesday
Mass. Finally they are taken to the
post office.
Thank you to all the volunteers.
The large amount of rosaries made
allows us to send them to the VA
hospitals and nursing homes also.
The Lord wants His Mother Mary
known and loved.
The powerful
prayers from these sincere hearts
can do just that.

St. Mary’s Parish are involved in two
programs conducted at the Anne

God and administers the Blessed
Host to inmates on Saturday
afternoons. The other is the
Detention Center General Education

assists inmates in achieving a High
School Diploma by tutoring them in
science, mathematics, social studies,
reading, and writing.
If you would like to help inmates
with the desire to turn their lives
around, you can do so by
volunteering for either or both of
these programs. Please contact
Richard Buss at (410) 263-5204 if

place, January 5th-12th. “Have a
Heart for the Homeless” little
lighthouse-shaped boxes were
distributed to students. Students were
asked to fill the donation box with any
loose change that they and their
family could share to benefit the work
of the Lighthouse Shelter. A
spectacular total of $4,626.66 was
contributed by the generous families
of our SMES “Saints”! This was a
huge blessing toward the Parish wide
effort of providing overnight shelter to
local homeless persons during the
first week of February, housing and
feeding them at St. John Neumann
Church.

This past week, our students
celebrated Foreign Language Week.
Each day, a student read the Morning
Prayer aloud over the intercom in a
different language. A contest was
held, on Thursday and Friday,
challenging the students to identify
the language spoken for the prayer
that day. Throughout the day on
Wednesday, students enrolled in
upper level French and Spanish
courses were required to use their
target language socially. Saint
biographies, representing the French,
Latin and Spanish languages which
were written by the students, were
displayed throughout the school for
all to read. In addition, cultural trivia
questions on index cards were posted
in the hallways. Students who could
answer the trivia question were asked
to bring that card to the
corresponding language teacher to
see if they could successfully earn a
small prize. We also offered a variety
of international foods on the cafeteria
menu for the week. It was a
wonderful celebration of foreign
languages and cultures for all of us.

Championship of High School A

Responding Prayerfully and Joyfully to Pope
Francis' Laudato Si'
Each month, the St. Mary's Environmental
Stewardship Committee (SMESC) is offering one
practical, substantive suggestion for caring for our
common home.
 Advent: have an energy audit done on your home
 January: consider switching to wind power
 February: consider using solar power
For March, buy local, seasonal, and, if possible,
organically grown food. It’s healthier for you and for the
earth; and, take just over 1 minute to look at Pope
Francis’
beautiful
plea
to
“Care
for
Creation” (thepopevideo.org).
The next SMESC meeting is Wednesday, March
16 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the second floor conference
room of Notre Dame Hall (behind the Elementary and
High Schools). All are welcome. Contact Paul O'Hearn or
([email protected]) or Sue Wentworth
([email protected]) for more information.
Fifth Sunday of Lent
Request for Volunteers for the April
Food Drive at St. John Neumann
The St. Vincent de Paul Society sponsors
two food drives a year to help stock the
pantries of the Annapolis Light House.
The upcoming food drive will be held at
St. John Neumann. Volunteers are
needed for Mass time at St. John Neumann for the two weekends of the food
drive: April 9/10 to hand out bags and April 16/17 to
collect the food bags. Individual volunteer time is
short and can be combined with Mass attendance.
The first weekend the task is to hand out empty grocery bags to Mass attendees. The second weekend
volunteers park their cars or SUV’s in designated areas in the parking lots shortly before the Mass they
are attending, collect parishioners’ donated food. After Mass volunteers drive to the Light House Shelter,
where the grocery bags are unloaded.
Your help will be greatly appreciated and will assist in getting food to the less fortunate in our community. If you can help, please contact Frank Hurd at
[email protected] or 410-757-7069. Please
note if you are volunteering for one (which one) or
both weekends. Also note your preference for a
Mass .

Estimados parroquianos,
15 de Marzo: San Clemente Hofbauer – Redentorista
Uno de los tantos logros de San Clemente, fue haber fundado el hogar de niños en Varsovia. Para mantener a los
niños alimentados y vestidos, tenía que andar mendigando constantemente. En una occasion, Clemente fua a mendigar a un Bar local. El pidió una donación. Uno de los dueños le escupió cerveza en la cara. Secándose la cerveza, el
respondió, “Eso fue para mí,. Pero que tienes para darle a mis niños?” Los hombres en el Bar quedaron tan conmovidos por tan Cristiana reacción que en respuesta dieron a Clemente más de 100 monedas de plata.
San Clemente no realizó Milagros, y no tuvo visiones o éxtasis. El incluso tuvo muchos defectos; el tenía un temperamento alemán fuerte, y la tendencia a ser rudo y áspero. Pero si pudieras pasar unas horas en su presencia, te
darías cuenta de que él era un hombre de mucha fe, de mucha calma y paz, de trabajar incansablemente por las almas. El era un hombre que aceptó la voluntad de Dios sin cuestionar, e hizo todo el bien que le fuera posible hacer. El era un devoto
de la glorificación de Dios y condujo a otros a servir a Dios. Clmenente nació el 26 de Diciembre de 1751 en Checoslovaquia y
murió el 15 de Marzo de 1820. Fue canonizado el 20 de Mayo de 1909.
Marzo 17 San Patricio
Cuando Patricio estaba trabajando por Irlanda, se cruzó con dos hermanos cuyo padre había fallecido. Estos
hermanos, en vez de ponerse triste por la muerte del padre, estaban peleando sobre quién de ellos debería tomar
posesiones de la granja y posesiones de su padre. Los hermanos comenzaron gritándose y luego comenzaron a
darse puñetazos. San Patricio les pidió que dejaran de pelear – pero ellos estaban demasiado enojados como
para oirlo.. Uno de los hermanos cogió una piedra enorme y san Patricio temió que éste podría matar a su hermano – y se puso en oración. Al instante los dos hermanos se convirtieron en piedra. Ellos todavía podían escuchar y ver, pero no se podían mover. San Patricio les explicó que está mal que los hermanos peleen - - y
cuando los convirtio de vuelta en hombres, ellos estaban tan conmovidos, que negociaron sus diferencias y
fueron amigos de ahí en más.
San Patricio nació en Gales en el año 387. Cuando él tenía 16 años, una vez que iba caminando en la playa,
unos piratas lo agarraron. Lo llevaron a Irlanda y lo vendieron como esclavo y allí el trabajó en el campo. Un día, Patricio escuchó a
Dios diciéndole que escapara, y el corrió a la playa donde encontró un barco esperándolo para llevarlo a casa. Cuando San Patricio
era adulto, escuchó una voz pidiéndole que retornara a Irlanda y enseñara a la gente a ser Cristianos – y él así lo hizo.
19 de Marzo: San José
Una muchacha ha rezado diariamente por 10 años a San José pidiendo le para encontrar un buen marido, sin señal alguna de que su
deseo fuera a ser complacido. Ella comenzo a perder la fe. Un Domingo de mañana ella volvió de la Misa y se
arrodilló ante la estatua de San José implorándole que le conceda su pedido.Pero después de 10 minutos, en un
ataque de rabia y desesperación, ella sacó su estatua de la mesa y la botó por la ventana. Un hombre joven iba
pasando por la calle y fue golpeado en la cabeza con la estatua, haciéndole un corte grande. El llamó a la
puerta para pedir ayuda, y tal vez, alguna explicación. La cliente de San José se disculpó, ofreciéndose a curarle las heridas.. Ellos se volvieron buenos amigos. Seis meses más tarde ellos se casaron.El evangelio nos da
muy poca información acerca de este hombre elegido, el guardian en la tierra de Nuestra Señora y el guardian
de nuestro Señor. Él, silenciosa y fielmente fue haciendo su tarea de acuerdo a la voluntad de Dios su firmeza
como guardián y marido es la base de su patronato como el padre de familias. San José por quien decimos que “las acciones hablan
mas fuerte que las palabras,” es el patrón de los ingenieros, artesanos, solteros y de los que buscan buenas esposas y maridos. Él es
invocado por aquellos quienes están en la duda y aquellos que desean una muerte santa.
San Clemente, San Patricio y San José – Rueguen por Nosotros!
Dios Nos Bendiga a Todos
