names of persons who are in need

of special prayer. If you know of

someone who should be listed,

BOOK BUDDY MINISTRY: Four (4) volun-

teers are needed to spend one hour per week

read with a Blessed Sacrament School stu-

dent. Call Carolyn for details at 843-478-

Wow! … It’s already September!

The temps say that summer is waning! School is in session, and families are getting back to a

sense of normalcy … daily lunches and snacks, laundry, carpools, you name it!

The 2019-2020 Academic Year at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School has 247 students enrolled

(128 girls, 119 boys). We have 17 full-time teachers with 2 part-time (Music & Art) and 1

volunteer (Library). The Kindergarten and 1

st

Grade have a total of 7 teacher-assistants. Then

there are Administrative & Office Staff whose tasks keep them occupied while the teaching-

learning process goes on in the classrooms. And we must not forget the Maintenance Staff

who make sure the building is clean and ready before 300 pair of feet trample the hallways.

We thank the School Advisory Committee for their valuable help, the Lunch Monitors for

their volunteer service, the Parish Athletic Association for their attention to help create a

spirit of sportsmanship in all the parish children including Blessed Sacrament School, and

perhaps other groups of persons whose intent is the proper growth and development of all

our young people. “THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN; PEOPLE MAKE THEM HAPPEN” … Awesome!

A Catholic School is a School of Choice – parents make a choice of sending their children to

Blessed Sacrament. This is one of the many, many choices that parents must make. And there

are numerous determinants that enter into play with this choice. Perhaps there are some

parents in the community who would have preferred this kind of milieu for their children but, in

the final analysis, had to decide otherwise. Blessed Sacrament owes the children of these

families an ‘education in the faith’. This is what our Wednesday evening Faith Formation

Program is all about. The local Parish Church provides the formal instruction so that ALL our

children learn the Roman Catholic faith and tradition. On that final day, when asked the big

question of what we did for future generations, we can all say, ‘we did the best we could’. And

that is what Jesus wants.

In my more active years of ministry, it fell to my lot to care for several parochial schools.

Education has been a part of me at just about every level: Grade School, Junior & Senior High

School, College, Adult Formation and more. That’s the reason why I lost my jet-black hair for

the fancy coiffure I now sport!!

These are just some random thoughts that I share for this time of year – the beginning of a

new School Year.

With love,

Fr. Derrick

EL RITO DE LA COMUNIÓN - 4b

Adecuadamente, después de dar al Padre Celestial alabanza y gloria por la gran labor de la

salvación, ahora nos disponemos a la inminente preparación de la mente y corazón para reci-

bir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Su Hijo Jesucristo - alimento de la almas. Hacemos comunión

con Jesús. El mismo se ofrece a nosotros. Nosotros Lo recibimos. “El que come mi Carne y

bebe de mi Sangre vive en mi y yo en él.” ¡Nosotros recibimos el Señor de los Señores, el

Rey de los Reyes, el Cordero de Dios Que quita los pecados del mundo! Este es nuestro gran

Acto de Fe y lo decimos como respuesta al Ministro que dice: “Cuerpo de Cristo y “Sangre de

Cristo” … AMÉN (Que así sea. Es verdad. De acuerdo en mente y corazón). Que maravilloso

este obsequio. Cuán llenos de gracias estamos.

A continuación de la comida celestial, la Sagrada Comunión, le agradecemos a nuestro anfi-

trión, Jesucristo. Algunas veces un agradecimiento personal es apropiado.

LA DESPEDIDA

La comida sacrificial terminó. Es la hora de salir del espacio de donde nos reunimos y volver

al mundo real donde atestiguamos el amor del Señor Jesús. El celebrante reza de parte de la

comunidad, entonces nos envía adelante con una bendición y despedida… “Vaya en paz. La

Misa ha terminado”.

¡Increíble!... ¡Ya estamos en septiembre!

¡La temperatura nos dice que el verano se está yendo! La escuela empezó y las

familias están volviendo a tener un sentido de rutina… loncheras y meriendas

diarias, lavar la ropa, llevar de un lado a otro a los niños, ¡y todo lo demás!

El año escolar 2019-2020, el Colegio Católico Blessed Sacrament tiene 247

estudiantes (128 niñas, 119 niños). Tenemos 17 maestros de tiempo completo y el

1er grado tienen un total de 7 asistentes del maestro. Luego está el Personal

Administrativo y de la Oficina que sus deberes los mantienen ocupados

mientras que el proceso de aprendizaje-enseñanza está en marcha en los salones.

Y no debemos olvidar el Personal de Mantenimiento que se asegura que el

edificio este limpio y listo antes de que los 300 pares de pies anden por los

pasillos. Agradecemos al Comité Consejero del Colegio por su ayuda invaluable,

los Monitores del almuerzo por su servicio voluntario, la Asociación Parroquial

Atlética por ayudar a crear un espíritu de compañerismo en todos los niños de la

parroquia incluyendo del colegio, y quizás otros grupos de personas que procuran

el crecimiento y desarrollo apropiado de nuestros jóvenes. “LAS COSAS NO PASAN

ASÍ NO MÁS; LA GENTE HACE QUE PASEN” …. ¡Maravilloso!

Una Escuela Católica es una Opción para el Colegio – los padres toman una opción

al enviar sus hijos al Colegio de Blessed Sacrament. Esta es una opción de

muchas, muchas decisiones que los padres deben hacer. Quizás hay padres en la

comunidad que hubieran preferido este tipo de entorno para sus hijos pero, en el

análisis final, tuvieron que decidir por otra opción. Blessed Sacrament le debe a

estos niños una “educación de la fe”. Esto es de lo que se trata nuestro programa

de Formación de Fe de las noches del miércoles. La parroquia local provee

instrucción formal de manera que TODOS nuestros chicos aprendan la fe y

tradición Católica Romana. En ese día final, cuando nos pregunten que hicimos por

las futuras generaciones, podemos decir, “hicimos lo mejor que pudimos”. Y eso es

lo que Jesús quiere.

En mis años más productivos del ministerio, estuve al cuidado de varias escuelas

parroquiales. La educación ha sido parte de mi en cada nivel: primaria, media y

bachillerato, universidad, formación adulta y más. ¡Esa es la razón por la que perdí

mi cabello negro azabache por este elegante peinado que ahora luzco!

Estos son solo pensamientos en el aire que comparto en esta época del año – el

comienzo de un nuevo año escolar.

Con amor,

Padre Derrick
