BOOK OF INTENTIONS If someone you know is in need of our prayers, please enter their name(s) in the book located in the Holy Family alcove. W V M 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 Nello & Fran Signorino at the 12:00 Noon Mass. EVANGELIZATION R.C.I.A. 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 contact Deacon Bob at the Church Office.

Holy Trinity Catholic School is a Catholic elementary school located in Longs, South Carolina and is a sponsored ministry of Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish. Holy Trinity is committed to its Catholic heritage while being open to families of all faiths and backgrounds. Students participate in the Liturgy on Wednesday mornings, begin and end each day with prayer, and celebrate the various seasons of the Church’s year as well as the major feasts of the Church. Holy Trinity is totally committed to academic excellence through the use of a challenging curriculum, state of the art technology and classes in Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish and Computers. W M E Think of how tired, discouraged and frustrated the apostles must have been in the Gospel reading today. Then Jesus shows up and tells them to try one more time. Because they were willing and obedient, Jesus blessed them abundantly. It works the same way in our own lives today; if we trust in Jesus and do what He tells us to do, we will receive His abundant blessings! Allow the grace of God to strengthen, renew and rekindle your marriage relationship. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend is July 8 - 10, 2016 in Columbia, SC. Early sign up is recommended.

One way that this appeal works to support home mission dioceses in the United States is by supporting seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, because educating each seminarian costs $35-40K per year. Your support is needed for these young men so that they might go back and serve their parishes. Please strengthen the Church at home by making a generous gift to next week’s appeal.

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA .JESUS SE APARECE A SIETE APOSTOLES EN EL LAGO DE GALILEA (San Juan 21,1-19). Queridos Hermanos: En el Evangelio de este Domingo, podemos ver la tarea evangelizadora de la Iglesia. Los Apóstoles ya no están en casa, sino que salen a comenzar una actividad, una tarea que tienen que hacer. Jesús se presenta a ellos, en el trabajo, y así manifesta que El está presente en medio de la comunidad que trabaja por el Reino de los Cielos. Allí están siete Apóstoles trabajando en comunidad. El número siete significa perfección. Reflexionemos sobre algunos puntos importantes de este encuentro de Jesús con sus Apóstoles. 1. Los Apóstoles han estado pescando toda la noche, pero no han conseguido nada. Pero apenas llega Jesús, logran coger una gran cantidad de pescados. Es decir; la Evangelización en la Iglesia puede dar frutos siempre y cuando esté unida a Jesús. 2. La red llena de pescados no se rompe. Esto significa la universalidad de la Iglesia y la capacidad que ella tiene de recibir a todos sin ninguna excepción. 3. El nombre de Mar de Galilea o "Tiberiades", es un nombre pagano. Esto significa el mundo hostil en el que se llevará a cabo la misión, pero siempre estará Jesús presente en la Sagrada Eucaristía liderando La Evangelización. 4. Jesús les dijo a sus Apóstoles: "Echen las redes", y ellos por la voz reconocieron que era Jesús. Esto significa, que los discípulos en el trabajo arduo y pesado de la Evangelización, reconocerán la voz de Jesús en la Palabra de Dios. 5. Pedro antes de reconocer a Jesús, estaba desnudo (Significa miseria y debilidad); pero cuando lo reconoce se ciñe la túnica (Significa disposición y voluntad de servicio); y se lanza al agua (Significa un gesto de dar la vida por los demás), luego se sienta con Jesús y sus compañeros para compartir (el alimento) la pesca que han conseguido (Significa La Sagrada Eucaristía, el verdadero Alimento que nos llevará a la Vida Eterna). En la actualidad podemos ver algunos puntos importantes sobre este Evangelio: 1. Pueden haber dos peligros: -El de abandonar a Jesús, porque se le puede ver solamente como un líder con quien hay que mantener una relación de Amo y esclavo. -Seguirlo a El personalmente, apartándome de la Iglesia y no hacer vida de comunidad. Es importante saber, que Jesús nos considera no esclavos sino amigos. Y El quiso fundar una Iglesia, poniendo como líder al Apóstol Pedro. 2. No puede existir una adhesión total a Jesucristo, si no nos entregamos totalmente a la misión, sin condiciones, estando siempre dispuestos a dar la vida por el Evangelio. 3. Todo discípulo tiene libertad de seguir o no a Jesucristo. El no obliga a nadie. 4. Solamente renunciando a la ambición de tener prebendas y ventajas por seguir a Jesús, se puede hacer verdadero y auténtico discípulo de Jesús. 5. Todo discípulo de Jesús tiene que estar unido a Pedro. Es decir la necesidad de amar la Iglesia que Cristo fundo y estar unidos siempre al Sumo Pontífice. Pidámosle a la Virgen María; para que Ella, nos ayude a recordar que todos juntos formamos la Iglesia que Cristo fundó, y que sepamos vivir en comunidad, para que así sea eficaz nuestro trabajo pastoral. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando. EVANGELIZACION CATEQUESIS PARA ADULTOS (R.I.C.A.) El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos es un proceso de conversión y crecimiento espiritual, que toma tiempo, en nuestra relación con Dios y la Iglesia. Es un camino de fe donde los adultos están totalmente bienvenidos en la Iglesia Católica. Si usted está interesado en la exploración de una relación con Jesucristo y se a preguntado acerca de la Iglesia Católica, o convirtiéndose a la fe católica, la iniciación en la Iglesia Católica a través de la celebración de los sacramentos del Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía. LE DAMOS UNA CORDIAL BIENVENIDA! Para obtener más información acerca del proceso, R.I.C.A. por favor póngase en contacto con la Hermana Glafira Ortega a los teléfonos 843-742-0341 o 249-2356.

MISIONES CATÓLICAS La próxima semana realizaremos el Llamado para las Misiones Católicas. Una manera en que este llamado sirve para apoyar a las diócesis misioneras en Estados Unidos es apoyando la formación de seminaristas en las diócesis pobres. La bendición de contar con unos seminaristas pone una carga financiera en estas diócesis ya que la educación de cada seminarista cuesta entre $35 a 40 mil dólares al año. Su apoyo es necesario para que estos jóvenes puedan regresar y servir en sus parroquias. Por favor, fortalezca la Iglesia en casa dando una generosa donación al llamado de la próxima semana. MATRIMONIOS Las parejas que deseen contraer el Sacramento del Matrimonio, deben informar al Padre Orlando, mínimo con 6 meses de anticipación, para comenzar la preparación necesaria. Preparación de Parejas para el Sacramento del Matrimonio el 2ndo Martes de cada mes a las 6:30 P.M. Favor no traer niños.
