St. Mary’s Parish
Annapolis, Maryland
Dear Parishioners,
St. Augustine was born in North Africa in A.D. 354 and is well known for his philosophical and theological teachings and his stalwart defense of the Catholic faith in the
face of numerous heresies. We celebrate the feast day of this famous Doctor of the
Church on August 28. Here at St. Mary’s we have a large lithograph of St. Augustine in
the Rectory hallway. Why, you might ask, is it there?
Because of St. Augustine’s African origins, many predominantly African American
Catholic congregations in the United States adopted him as their patron. The same thing
occurred right here in Annapolis. In the 19th century, about one-third of St. Mary’s parishioners were African Americans; some free, others enslaved. In 1864 Maryland’s
slaves were freed and the number of black Catholics in Annapolis increased. Although
both black and white parishioners attended St. Mary’s Church, St. Mary’s operated separate black and white
elementary schools. St. Mary’s Catholic Colored School was tuition-free and open to black children of all
faiths. By the 1890s, the school had two special financial supporters: St. Katharine Drexel and her sister,
Louise Morrell of Philadelphia. With this help, the school continued to flourish under the direction of the
School Sisters of Notre Dame.
But African American Catholics in Annapolis yearned for their own
Church. During the 1930s they established a self-help society named
for their benefactors. It was known as the Drexmore Club. The members began to raise money for their own church and, in the waning days
of World War II, Archbishop Curley granted their wish. St. Augustine’s
mission church, under the direction of the Redemptorists, became a reality. A combination church and school were constructed on Bates
Street, in the Clay Street neighborhood. Construction began in 1945
and was completed in 1949.
The upper-level church accommodated 450 persons. It included a
life-size statue of St. Augustine outside, above its center door, and inside, on either side of the main altar, there was an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the lithograph of St.
Augustine that now hangs at St. Mary’s. Father James Rice was the first priest in charge. Two vocations
emerged from St. Augustine’s: Ruth Jennings became an Oblate Sister of Providence and James Vaughn became a Christian Brother. The school, on the lower level, also opened in 1949 with 54 students taught by the
SSNDs from St. Mary’s.
St. Mary’s schools were integrated in 1957 and St. Augustine’s school was closed. The mission church rolls
saw a decline around this time and by 1964 St. Augustine’s had become more of a “chapel of convenience”
rather than a full-fledged mission. A major snowstorm in January 1966 brought the end to St. Augustine’s. Serious structural damage caused by the storm led to its closure. The school was used as a temporary community
center in 1968 but the building was condemned in 1971 and torn down in 1972. The land was sold and lowincome housing was built. It was named Augustine Court in memory of the church and school.
So as we celebrate the feast of St. Augustine this week, pray for St. Mary’s. As you pass his picture in the
hallway, remember the rich history it represents and the many lives it has touched.
God Bless Us all

"Mary, the Faithful Disciple," by
Bertrand Buby, S.M. traces the New
Testament portrait of Mary as a
model for Christian discipleship and
faithfulness. The author combines a
clear explanation of the biblical
images of Mary and a program of
spirituality that any Christian can
discover and apply. The progress of
Mary's journey of faith enables us to
comprehend our own pilgrimage to
follow the Lord through ups and
downs of life. Available in the Marian

Ranger Rosary
“We hand out anywhere to 150250 rosaries a month. They go like
hot cakes, to a starving Catholic faith
based community to help them
continue their faith journey. They
enjoy getting the rosaries and
literature. It helps comfort them with
the separation from family and
friends and when they go into foreign
areas. They are comforted knowing
God is with them." Catholic Coordinator,

This weekend marks the feast day
of the Queenship of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. The Mother of Jesus
rules as Queen of Heaven and
intercedes on behalf of anyone who
calls on her for aid and comfort. Just

Veterans of St. Mary’s
DID YOU KNOWB
In the summer of 1775 the
Continental Congress
approved Commander-inChief George Washington’s
request for nurses (one for
every ten patients in Continental
Hospitals)? In 1898 The Spanish
American War increased the number
of nurses needed to more than 1500,
which included 250 nuns, 80 African
American’s, and at least four Native
American’s. Not until 1901, 126
years after the initial recognition
of the need for nurses in the
military , was the Army Nurse Corps
established by Congress (followed 7
years later, by the Navy Nurse Corps
(1908).

dismembered in the sanctuary of
their mother’s womb, but their organs

Partial birth abortions are being done
to obtain “intact” organs. Now more

us to join in the peaceful prayer vigil
at Planned Parenthood. Help save
God’s innocent children from this
barbaric and evil practice. Stand up!

News to Share
As we start a new school year, I am pleased to share with you the news of
someone who has indeed answered the call. Effective August 24, I have appointed Mr. Fred Haller to be the president of St. Mary’s School. He will report
directly to me and work closely with the school principals, Mrs. Rebecca Zimmerman and Mrs. Mindi Imes, to bring a renewed focus on strategic planning,
curriculum and technology enhancements, and our vision for a connected, vibrant school. His work will directly support the preparation of our students to
become the next generation of Catholic leaders. Mr. Haller has been a member
of our school board, most recently serving as its chair. That service has given
him an in-depth understanding of the needs and goals of St. Mary’s School. He
also brings with him years of professional experience in teaching, school administration, advancement, admissions, and technology integration in the classroom. As an educational technology consultant with experience in numerous

SUMMER FOOD DRIVE
The St. Vincent de Paul Society
is conducting a food drive to help
stock the food pantries of the
Lighthouse, for distribution to the
needy in our community. Graul’s
Market has again graciously
donated grocery bags, which
volunteers will hand out at all Masses at St. Mary’s this
weekend. A list of Light House-suggested items is
attached to each bag. You may use the bag, or any
other bags or boxes, to bring your food donations to St.
Mary’s Church Masses next weekend. Signs will direct
you to drop points in the parking lots for your
donations. If you would like to donate, but will not be
able to come to St. Mary’s during Mass times on
August 29 or 30, or if you have questions about the
food drive, please contact
Elaine Larison at
301.353.1042/[email protected].
Thank you, as
together we follow Pope Francis’ guidance that “. . . we
must help one another.”

Por nuestra hermana difunta
Blanca Rosa Hernandez
St. Mary’s Parish
Annapolis, Maryland
Queridos Parroquianos,
San Agustín nació en el norte de África en el año 354 y es bien conocido por sus enseñanzas
filosóficas y teológicas y su defensa incondicional de la fe católica ante las numerosas herejías.
Celebramos el día de la fiesta de este famoso Doctor de la Iglesia el 28 de agosto. Aquí en Santa María tenemos una gran litografía de San Agustín en el pasillo de la rectoría. Ud. puede preguntar, ¿por qué la tenemos aquí?
Debido a los orígenes africanos de San Agustín, muchas congregaciones católicas predominantemente afroamericanas en los Estados Unidos, lo adoptaron como su patrón. Lo mismo ocurrió aquí en Annapolis. En el siglo 19, casi un tercio de los parroquianos de Santa María eran
afroamericanos; algunos libres, otros esclavos. En 1864 los esclavos de Maryland fueron liberados y el número de los católicos negros en Annapolis aumentó. Aunque ambos parroquianos,
blancos y negros, asistían a la iglesia de Santa María, las escuelas primarias de Santa María funcionaban por separado
para los blancos y los negros. La escuela de color Católica de Santa María era con matrícula gratis y abierta a los niños
negros de todos los credos. Por la década de 1890, la escuela tenía dos patrocinadores financieros especiales: la Srta.
Katharine Drexel y su hermana, Louise Morrell de Filadelfia. Con esta ayuda, la escuela continuó prosperando bajo la
dirección de las Hermanas Educadoras de Notre Dame.
Pero los católicos africanos-estadounidenses en Annapolis anhelaban su propia iglesia. Durante la década de 1930 se estableció una sociedad de autoayuda llamada así por sus benefactores. Era conocida como el Club Drexmore.
Los miembros comenzaron a recaudar fondos para su propia iglesia, y en los
últimos días de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el arzobispo Curley otorga su
aprobación. La Iglesia de la Misión de San Agustín, bajo la dirección de los
Redentoristas, se convirtió en una realidad. Una combinación de iglesia y escuela fue construida en Bates Street, en el barrio de Clay Street. La construcción comenzó en 1945 y se terminó en 1949.
La iglesia de nivel superior acomodaba 450 personas. Incluía una estatua de
tamaño natural de San Agustín en el exterior, por encima de la puerta del centro, y en el interior, a ambos lados del altar principal, había un icono de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro y la litografía de San Agustín, que ahora está en Santa María. Padre James Rice fue el
primer sacerdote encargado. Dos vocaciones salieron de San Agustín: Ruth Jennings se convirtió en una hermana Oblata
de la Providencia y James Vaughn se convirtió en un Hermano Cristiano. La escuela, en la planta baja, también abrió sus
puertas en 1949 con 54 estudiantes enseñados por las HEND de Santa María.
Las escuelas de Santa María se integraron en 1957 y la escuela de San Agustín se cerró. El número de miembros de la
iglesia de la misión bajó en esta época y en 1964 San Agustín se había convertido más que en una "capilla de convivencia" en un lugar de una verdadera misión/una misión de pleno derecho. Una gran tormenta de nieve en enero de 1966
trajo el final a San Agustín. Daños graves de la estructura causados por la tormenta llevó a su cierre. La escuela fue utilizada como un centro comunitario temporal en 1968, pero el edificio fue clausurado en 1971 y demolido en 1972. Se
vendió el terreno y se construyó una vivienda de interés social. Fue nombrado Corte Agustín en la memoria de la iglesia
y la escuela.
Así, mientras celebramos esta semana la fiesta de San Agustín, oremos por Santa María. Al mirar la foto de San
Agustín en el pasillo, recuerda la rica historia que representa y las vidas que ha tocado.
Dios nos bendiga a todos,
Padre Tizio

Ser catequista
Programa de Catequesis
2015-2016
EL AMOR DEL CATEQUISTA, SU MOTOR
Registración para el siguiente año 2015-2016 comenzara el 19 de Julio hasta el 30 de Agosto, 2015. Primer día de clases es domingo, el 27 de Septiembre,
2015. Es necesario entregar una copia del certificado
de Bautismo y Acta de Nacimiento. Por favor visita
la Oficina Hispana durante la semana lunes a viernes 9am– 4pm, Los alumnos que ya se han registrado el año pasado deberán registrarse nuevamente.
El costo de la inscripción es de 90 dólares.
Preguntas llama al 410-990-4015.
Antes de "Ser Catequista" soy Persona:
Tengo sentimientos, problemas, necesidades económicas, sociales, escolares,
culturales, psicológicas - humanas.
El Catequista ante todo es un ser humano
en proceso de madurez, es un hombre o
mujer que tiene la experiencia de gozar y
de sufrir los acontecimientos que la vida
le va presentando.
El Catequista no nace, se hace*.
Es ante todo, una persona humana capaz
de entrar en relación, en diálogo personal
con aquéllos a los que va a llevar el mensaje, es capaz de “miradas con amor”,
porque el autor de la vida se los ha entregado para que los ayude a madurar en la
fe.
Tal vez alguien nos invitó o el testimonio
de otro catequista nos atrajo; quizá la necesidad de servir en la Iglesia encontrando un terreno atractivo en la catequesis; como quiera que haya sido no fue
casualidad, Dios se vale de muchas circunstancias para manifestar su voluntad.
Pero más allá de las circunstancias inmediatas hay siempre una iniciativa de Dios.
"Ustedes no me eligieron a mí;
he sido Yo quien los eligió
a ustedes" (Jn 15, 16).
