Join us after the 2PM* TAGALOG MASS FOR A SPECIAL
CEREMONY WITH PROCESSION AND RECEPTION AFTER MASS
The Filipino community of the Grand Strand will again hold a traditional Filipino festival celebrated in May called “Santacruzan”. In the Philippines, May is the month dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This festival is in Her honor. There will be a procession of the Statue of the Blessed Virgin around the church and school grounds. There
will be participants dressed in beautiful costumes, praying the rosary with the rest of the faithful participating in the procession, holding lighted candles and singing hymns. As usual, delicious food will follow at Duffy Center.
Don’t miss this beautiful event honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary!
*Please Note: The time of the monthly Tagalog Mass has
been changed for this special event. Whatever me we have is a gi� from God and we are
asked to use it wisely, to serve God and others.��� Stewardship is the response of a Chris�an Disciple. How are
we ac�vely living out our individual call to be a Disciple of
Jesus? ��� In order to do the work God calls us to do, we must enter
into a dialogue with Him in prayer. How is your daily prayer
life? ��� We are each given 1,440 minutes a day. What are we
choosing to do with those minutes?�
Thank you Mary Alice for 15 years of
service�we will miss you!�
Welcome Becky Marques!�

Sunday, May 13, 2018-SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Fake news and peace
Peace is possible only when truth is readily available. This is why
Pope Francis has dedicated this World Communications Day to a
reflection on the polarizing effect of fake news. False information
creates and fuels division, bleeding its consequences into both
personal and group behaviors. By contrast, a “journalism of peace”
promotes understanding and unites us around common values and
goals. Maybe it’s time to stop clicking on inflammatory headlines
and refuse to forward the stuff that riles up our indignation.
Propaganda is hardly new. Opt for something truly novel: good
news! TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 1:15-17, 20a, 20c-26; 1 John 4:11-16;
John 17:11b-19 (60). “Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is
truth.”
Monday, May 14, 2018-FEAST OF MATTHIAS, APOSTLE
Let go and love
Jesus’ Last Supper discourses are surely some of the most poignant
passages in John’s gospel. You can almost hear the urgency in Jesus’
voice as he exhorts his disciples to carry on and always love one
another. Just love one another. Three simple words, yet how difficult
they are to live at times! Or at least we make them that way. We
prefer to hold on to our anger, resentment, or that small slight from
this morning. We are entitled to feel the way we do—right? Yet,
how much easier it is to simply let the negative feeling go. It’s as
easy as opening your hand. Today, when you find yourself holding
on to anger, visualize opening your hand. Let it go. Love one
another. TODAY'S READINGS: Acts of the Apostles 1:15-17, 20-26; John
15:9-17 (564). “You did not choose me but I chose you.”
Tuesday, May 15, 2018-MEMORIAL OF ISIDORE
Help bring a poor farmer to market Seventy-five percent of the world’s poor—900 million people“live
in rural areas in conditions of extreme poverty,” according to a
March 9, 2006 Vatican statement on agrarian reform. In the absence
of internationally guaranteed protections, the Vatican says,
“deprivation, exploitation, lack of access to the market, and social
exclusion become more acute” among people who work the land.
The Vatican urged rich countries to correct policies, such as farm
subsidies and trade barriers, that adversely affect the economies of
developing countries, and it condemned the concentration of
productive farmland in the hands of a few. In honor of Saint Isidore,
take steps to support small farmers by purchasing organic and fair
trade products and frequenting local farmers’ markets. Learn more
about the Catholic rural ethic at .org. TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 20:17-27; John 17:1-11a (298). “I
glorified you on earth by accomplishing the work that you gave me
to do.”
Wednesday, May 16, 2018-EASTER WEEKDAY
Take the long view
The proverb “This too shall pass” may come to mind while
struggling through a tough period in life, such as a time of transition
or a personal financial crisis. We hope and trust that the pain of these
situations is temporary and will eventually pass. Though not often
invoked in good times, this proverb can also refer to the passing of
good things in our life. It might be, for example, the death of a loved
one or the departure of a close friend or mentor, as the early church
experienced when Jesus and then Paul prepared to leave behind their
earthly lives. It reminds us to be open to what life brings and draw
comfort from the fact that God’s love remains constant. TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 20:28-38; John 17:11b-19 (299). “They
threw their arms around Paul and kissed him, for they were deeply
distressed that he had said that they would never see his face
again.”
Thursday, May 17, 2018-EASTER WEEKDAY
Let’s attend the reunion
The Catholic Church’s approach to ecumenism has come a long way
since the Second Vatican Council. The previous Code of Canon Law
(from 1917) decreed: “It is illicit for the faithful to assist at or
participate in any way in non-Catholic religious functions” (no.
1258). That changed with Vatican II and the new Code of Canon
Law in 1983, and in 1993 the Pontifical Council for Promoting
Christian Unity stated that “Christians may be encouraged to share in
spiritual activities and resources, i.e., to share that spiritual heritage
they have in common in a manner and to a degree appropriate to
their present divided state” (no. 102). We still have a long road
ahead, but the road map is clearer. TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 22:30; 23:6-11; John 17:20-26 (300).
“I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one,
as we are one.”
Friday, May 18, 2018-MEMORIAL OF JOHN I, POPE,
MARTYR
In search of what unites us Many hopeful moments occurred during the impressive funeral and
memorial rites for Pope John Paul II in 2005. Perhaps one of the
most remarkable was the gathering of so many leaders of different
religious traditions and denominations from around the world. This
was a sign of hope that all believers, of whatever corner of the
world, could recognize that God is more important than our
differences and that, in fact, God longs to gather us all into one.
There is one God, the God of all. Let us pray that we will have the
faith and humility to let God be God. TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 25:13b-21; John 21:15-19 (301).
"Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?"
Saturday, May 19, 2018-EASTER WEEKDAY
Mind your own business Celebrity gossip is so pervasive that it’s hard to avoid. How much do
you know about the personal lives of the “glitterati”? Sure, these
people invite the public into their lives for profit, but scrutinizing—
even relishing—the foibles of strangers is a slippery slope. Jesus
frequently reminded his followers to focus on themselves—their
own failings and how they could improve—instead of worrying
about those around them. Are you too quick to judge the actions of
others? TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 28:16-20, 30-31; John 21:20-25 (302).
“What if I want him to remain until I come? What concern is it of
yours?” ©2018 TrueQuest Communications.

WE HAVE A GREAT GIFT FOR YOU….
“A Catholic Streaming Program”
With the popularity of the Internet, we have discovered a new
way that we can use the Internet to help you learn more about
your faith.
As a parish, we have subscribed to a new Catholic streaming
program on www.formed.org. Now, you can access this for free because the parish has subscribed for all of the
parishioners.
This website is filled with wholesome entertainment, audio
presentations, saint movies, Bible studies, Youth group
studies, ebooks, and audio dramas. There are even
children’s shows that help cultivate virtue and learning
about the faith. The entire parish, friends, and even co-
workers can use this site…for free. We can all use a little
refresher and should take some time to study our faith. This is
a great way to do that.
This is a great new way of learning more about
Catholicism. You can access this using the directions below or
the link on our website.
There is also a FORMED app for iPads and phones to allow
more flexibility. After all, "To know God is to love
God." May it serve as a new way to encourage you and grow
in your faith.

NEW PROGRAM!
TUESDAY BIBLE STUDY-SPRING SESSIONS
St. James Catholic Church will show the movie,
“The Shack” on Wednesday, May 23, 2018 at
6:30pm. They will have follow up discussions on
May 30th, June 6th, 13th and 20th at 7 pm. All
events will take place in the St. James Parish Hall.
“The Shack” is about one man's struggles and redemption, on different levels: spiritual, relational and familial. There's not a single relationship in Mack's life that's not deeply impacted by what transpires when he reaches the shack. In many ways, we are all like Mack on different levels. Please contact Tami Hinnerschitz 843-331-3111 or email [email protected] if you would like to attend.
MAY 13, 2018 FAITH ENRICHMENT THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Reflections on Adoration:
"From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others." - Pope John Paul II
"The Eucharist bathes the tormented soul in light and love. Then the soul appreciates these words, 'Come all you who are sick, I will restore your health.'" - St. Bernadette Soubirous
"What happiness do we not feel in the presence of God, when we find ourselves alone at his feet, before the holy tabernacle! … 'Come, my soul, redouble your ardor! You are here alone to adore your God! His look rests on you alone!' Ah! if we only had the angels' eyes! Seeing our Lord Jesus Christ here, on that altar, and looking at us, how we should love him! We should want to stay always at his feet; it would be a foretaste of heaven; everything else would become insipid to us." - St. John Vianney
“The holy hour in our modern rat race is necessary for authentic prayer. Our world is one of speed in which intensity of movement is a substitute for lack of purpose; where noise is invoked to drown out the whisperings of conscience; where talk, talk, talk gives the impression that we are doing something when really we are not; where activity kills self-knowledge won by contemplation…
There seems to be so little in common between our involvement with the news of the world and the Stranger in whose Presence we find ourselves. The hour means giving up a golf game or a cocktail party, or a nap…” - Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
"A thousand years of enjoying human glory is not worth even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament." - St. Padre Pio
"Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from you? Visit Jesus often. Do you want to conquer the devil? Take refuge often at the feet of Jesus. Do you want to be conquered by the devil? Forget about visiting Jesus. My dear ones, the visit to the Blessed Sacrament is an extremely necessary way to conquer the devil. Therefore, go often to visit Jesus and the devil will not come out victorious against you." - St. John Bosco
Please consider giving an hour to Our Lord. Contact Leasa or Bob Leewe at 843 299-0335 or email at [email protected] for further information.
In God’s Love, Leasa & Bob Leewe
“YOUR FAITH”
Is it OK to leave Mass after Communion? No. It’s really not. Because it’s not just about us.
It’s not OK to leave Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma’s early
because it’s not just about eating good food, seeing the relatives
once a year, and letting them see how big (or thin or old or pretty)
you’ve become. It’s about family, loving, and being loved even
if—especially if—you and they are not perfect. It’s about tradition, hearing the old stories and the new ones and adding
yours; it’s about recalling the past while the present surrounds you
and the future lurks nearby. It’s not OK to leave until the dessert
and coffee and maybe an after-dinner drink because it’s not just
about you; it’s about all of you as a family. So you stay until it’s
over, and you say goodbye with hugs and kisses and leave with a
renewed understanding of what being part of this family means.
The Mass and Thanksgiving dinner have much in common, but
the Mass is so much more. It is our celebration of the paschal
mystery, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the
salvation of the world. We gather as God’s family, the church, holy and imperfect, to hear again the story of how God has loved
us and pursued us throughout history to this very day. In praying
for the whole church and its needs, for the whole world, for those
who suffer and those who die, we learn that we are to be mindful
of them and to serve them. As we offer our thanks and praise for
all God has done for us and given us, we come to recognize God’s
greatest gift to us, Jesus Christ, who feeds and strengthens us in
the form of bread and wine, the body and blood he gave for the
life of the world.
The Mass not only celebrates our faith, it teaches us what we
believe and how we are to live. That is why we can’t leave Mass after communion. Because communion is not just about us and our
salvation. It’s about the salvation of the world. In celebrating and
receiving the Eucharist, “We proclaim your death, O Lord, and
profess your resurrection until you come again.” Who are we
professing our faith to? Not just to ourselves but to the world. We
become part of the story of how much God loves all people and
wants them to know God through Christ. If we leave Mass before
the dismissal, we miss out on celebrating and being taught why
we celebrate the Eucharist in the first place. We are fed and
strengthened on the body and blood of Christ not only for
ourselves but also for all those He gave His life for.
We are dismissed from Mass not because it’s over, but because we
have work to do. We are to go to the world to proclaim Christ.
And so we stay to the end of Mass to be blessed and
commissioned: “Go and announce the gospel of the Lord.” “Go in
peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” (This article also
appears in the May 2018 issue of U.S. Catholic Vol. 83, No. 5,
page 9).

Dear St. Michael Catholic School Family –
Last week was an exciting one that provided the school community with multiple opportunities to celebrate our students and families alike. On Wednesday, evening, we had our sixth annual sports banquet. I am so incredibly proud of our student athletes who represented our school well this year and showcased their talents and creativity. Thanks a million Coach Mark Bartholomey, our coaching staff, the Knights of Columbus and the countless other volunteers who assisted with our program here. A hearty thanks to the parents for supporting our athletics here at St. Michael. We appreciate you and your children.
The Mother’s Day Tea was a tremendous success, thanks parents. Our children had a wonderful opportunity to visit with parents, grandparents and relatives who matter in their lives. It was an enjoyable time had by all and it was a day that so perfectly embodied what it means to be a part of the GATOR family.
As always, we are grateful to God for you, your prayers, gifts of time, talent, and treasure. Keep up the good work and remember to keep the light of Christ shining in your hearts. May God bless you and Our Lady keep you!
Blessings,
_|ÉÇxÄ ]A `tÜà|Ç Interim Principal

Perdón después de un Aborto
Todas las mujeres de consciencia sufrirán sentimientos de culpabilidad
y remordimiento. Solo hay una solución permanente para una madre en
duelo: una solución basada en la realidad, no en la negación o el disi-
mulo. Esta solución es EL PERDON.Nuestro misericordioso Dios nos
ama y desea perdonarnos y ayudarnos a encontrar la paz. Sin embargo,
el perdón es un regalo que debe ser aceptado para que haga efecto.
Como cualquier otro regalo, nosotros no recibimos el perdón a menos
que elijamos recibirlo. Dios no desea que alguien vaya por la vida cas-
tigándose a sí mismo por tener un aborto o por haber sido parte en un
aborto.Las mujeres que hayan tenido un aborto pueden aceptar el rega-
lo del perdón de Dios y si necesitan más ayuda, pueden buscar ayuda
profesional. Atender un retiro como el Viñedo de Rachel y el Proyecto
Rachel (ambos son muy activos en nuestro país) puede ser de mucha
ayuda.Muchas mujeres que han tenido abortos cargan una amargura
comprensible hacia los hombres que las abusan o que han abusado de
ellas, hacia padres y amigos que fueron insensibles a su dignidad, y
hacia aquellos que las han engañado o presionado para cometer el
aborto. Dios desea que las mujeres reciban el perdón que él les ofrece y
lo extiendan a otros.
Esto las liberará de la horrible carga de resentimiento y amargu-
ra.Después de aceptar el perdón de Dios, una forma maravillosa para
sanar y retribuirlo (para una mujer que tuvo un aborto) es comprome-
terse ella misma con el movimiento pro-vida en defender la vida y
llegar hasta otras madres en situaciones de crisis prenatal. De esta ma-
nera, Dios nos utiliza para ayudar a otros y compartir con ellos su amor
y su guía.

La Ascensión del Señor
[En las diócesis que celebraron la Ascensión
del Señor el jueves 10 de mayo, utilícense hoy las lecturas
del VII Domingo de Pascua: Hechos 1, 15-17. 20-26; Salmo
103(102); 1 Juan 4, 11-16 y Juan 17, 11-19]
Señor Jesús, te alabamos en esta fiesta llena de esperanza y
triunfo, porque tú has ascendido al cielo y ocupado tu trono
de gloria a la derecha de Dios Padre. Por un breve tiempo
viniste al mundo a redimirnos, pero ahora estás nuevamente
coronado y entronizado en los cielos. ¡Y nosotros hemos sido
elevados junto contigo!
Te alabamos, Señor, porque todo principado y potencia
celestial está bajo tu autoridad. No importa cuánto poderío
maligno o aterrador haya en este mundo, todo lo que existe
debe inclinarse ante tu Majestad y la gloria de tu poder. Sea
lo que sea que nos toque enfrentar, no existe nada que nos
prive de tu amorosa protección.
Nos regocijamos en ti, Jesús, Señor nuestro, porque tú reinas
sobre toda la historia humana, el pasado, el presente y el
futuro, y nada escapa a tu mirada amorosa.
¡Amado Salvador, tú eres digno de toda alabanza! Hasta el
enemigo más perverso y terrible ha quedado aplastado bajo
tus pies y nada hay que pueda dominarte: ni Satanás, ni la
muerte, ni la persecución, ni el pecado. ¡Tú los has derrotado
a todos, y estás encumbrado en tu gloria por encima de todas
las cosas!
Señor Jesucristo, tú eres la cabeza del Cuerpo, la Iglesia.
Aunque haya imperfecciones humanas en la Iglesia, tenemos
la certeza de que tú, Señor, seguirás purificándonos.
Intercede cada día por nosotros, te rogamos, para que tu
Padre prodigue su gracia sin medida sobre nosotros y nos
ayude a doblegar el pecado y vivir en el amor. Señor Jesús,
creemos que tu victoria también es nuestra y en tu amor
ponemos toda nuestra confianza.
“Amado Señor Jesús, hoy al celebrar tu gloriosa Ascensión,
contemplamos con admiración y gozo tu presencia
glorificada y nos reconfortamos sabiendo que tú, Señor,
tienes dominio sobre todas las cosas.”
