The facilities and services of Stella Maris Parish are available to its active members. This includes use of the Church for Baptisms, Weddings, and other sacramental events and includes parishioner status in our parochial schools. Active membership is determined by three things: being registered in the parish for a sufficient period of time, faithful attendance at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days, and the use of the envelope system in support of the parish. N.B. If you are attending Stella Maris but not receiving envelopes, then you are not registered. Please call the Parish Office for registration information.

MARRIAGE We are unable to accommodate all of the requests for weddings at Stella Maris. To marry here, at least one party to the marriage should be an active parishioner, regularly attending Mass for one year before asking to schedule a wedding. As Catholics, we believe that God has a plan for marriage. Cohabitation before marriage is not part of God’s plan and decreases the chances of success in maintaining a permanent union. Cohabitating couples should separate and live apart before requesting the Sacrament of Matrimony. More information is available from the parish office regarding guidelines for weddings and parishioner status. Diocesan policy requires at least six months’ notice before setting a wedding date.

SACRAMENTAL POLICY In order to receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation, students in Grades 2 and 8 must attend TWO FULL YEARS of religious instructions if they are NOT in our Catholic School system. No more than THREE (3) classes can be missed during the year of sacramental preparation.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL THE SICK IN OUR PARISH

If anyone wishes to receive Communion and is unable to come to Mass, call Jason Vaughan at 843-883-3044.

2ND SUNDAY OF EASTER

April 28, 2019

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION The Latin Mass worship aid this weekend includes a wonderful Ambrosian Rite graphic of the risen Christ appearing to His apostles and Mary. Look closely. Mary’s halo includes a star. Otherwise, there are only ten apostles portrayed. Judas had already met is demise, and Thomas was not present at Christ’s first appearance!

Another smaller graphic shows Christ announcing to the apostles gathered together in the upper room, “Peace be with you.” Again, there are only ten apostles depicted.
