Dear Parishioners,
This weekend we honor the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492. This Italian-born explorer and navigator, Christopher Columbus
was a practicing Catholic and had a keen interest in the Bible and interpreted
his missions in terms of God’s Providence, naming one of his 3 boats the
“Santa Maria” in honor of Our Blessed Mother. He, perhaps the greatest explorer the planet has ever known, radiated a sense of dream, dare, excitement
and energy that is part of the Italian genius.
Keep in mind that, for Columbus, his voyage of discovery was a work of
evangelization. On board were missionaries; his first act upon landing in the
New World was to plant the cross, claim the new lands for Christ and His
Church, and ask the missionaries to offer Mass.
As the Roman roads provided Peter and Paul, those first apostles, and the missionaries of the first centuries the way to spread the faith, so did the seas give Columbus the chance to serve his first sovereign,
Jesus Christ.
As an Italian, though, Christopher Columbus was used to discovery; discovery was in his Italian nature.
As an Italian, Christopher Columbus was raised to discover God in everything;
God was there in His Son Jesus Christ and His Church, in liturgy and sacraments;
God was there in the awe of a cathedral, a fresco by Giotto, a canticle by Francis of Assisi, a poem by
Dante;
God was there in a crucifix by Cimabue, music by monks, a Madonna at a street crossing, a sunset in
Tuscany;
God was there in the aroma of bread and the taste of local wine, the love of a wife and the embrace of
children; God was there in village, family and friends.
God was always there to be discovered, as Italians such as Redemptorists Alphonsus Liguori of Naples
and Gerard Majella of Materdomini (whose feast is this Friday, October 16), Thomas Aquinas, Ambrose
of Milan and Bonaventure had taught.
Life revealed God everywhere, and no part of His creation, even though uncharted, was beyond the
pale of His loving providence.
I guess, had the Italian Christopher Columbus not done so, someone else could have discovered America.
But it was indeed one born in Genoa, one who had the culture of Italy in his bones, who claims the title.
This son of Italy realized that this discovery was not just some navigational feat with geographical, economic and political implications, but an act of faith, an act flowing from the very purpose of life: to find
God everywhere, in everything, in everybody, for God is radiant, alive, brimming over with love and excitement, just waiting for us to discover Him and claim Him. Happy Columbus Day!
God Bless America and God Bless Us All

with God. Merton's reflections
evidence a profound concern for the
social issues of the world. It is

October Environmental
Forum on Papal Encyclical
Thursday October 22nd is the
parish open forum on Pope Francis’
encyclical Laudato Si. All are
welcome to attend to hear a variety
of perspectives on the document
and to ask questions of the panel.
This week the focus is on the
connection between environmental
degradation and social degradation.
Pope Francis’s states, “Nature
cannot be regarded as something
separate from ourselves or as a
mere setting in which we live. We
are part of nature, included in it and
thus in constant interaction with itO
We are faced not with two separate
crises, one environmental and the
other social, but rather with one
complex crisis which is both social
and environmental. Strategies for a
solution demand an integrated
approach to combating poverty,
restoring dignity to the excluded,
and at the same time protecting
nature.” He reminds us that human
societies depend on natural
resources to provide a stable
foundation. By using natural
resources unsustainably human
societies are degraded and made
vulnerable to collapse. Pope Francis
shows us that to serve and protect
humanity we must also protect and
sustain the natural resources all
humans need to survive.

Appalachian Collection Thank You!
Would you believe that our parish collection for Appalachia broke all records! Our first turn-in on Sept. 23
was the largest one with 288 boxes donated, more than
any other donor group in the 20-year history of Mission
of Peace, our ecumenical partners. Add to that the second turn-in of 247 boxes on Sept. 30, for our grand total
of 535 boxes! They and we have much to be overjoyed
about. Much, much gratitude goes to St. Mary's Parish,
the staff at St. John Neumann, members of Ranger Rosary, Catholic Daughters of the Americas, and Theresa
and Frank Cisneros for all the hard work and many
hours put into all that it takes to sponsor such a worthwhile Christian effort. Our parishioners, in turn, were
quite appreciative of our Collection Drive and all that it
means to people in Virginia and West Virginia who are
in need. We have much to be proud of with our School
Drive in July and this successful one in September! A
thank you and God bless to all who were involved in
Did You Know
Members of St. Mary’s Parish are involved in two
volunteer Outreach Programs at the Anne Arundel
County Detention Center on Jennifer Road in
Annapolis? One is the St. Mary’s Catholic Prison
Ministry which brings the Word of God and administers
the Eucharist to prison inmates on Saturday afternoons.
The other is the General Educational Development
(GED) Program, which helps those inmates with the
desire to turn their lives around by tutoring them in
science, mathematics, social studies, reading, and
writing, with the ultimate goal of earning a GED High
School Equivalency Certificate.
If you would like to know more about either or both of
these programs, please contact Richard Buss at (410)
263-5204 or by email at [email protected].

Estimados Parroquianos,
Este fin de semana celebramos el descubrimiento de América por Cristobal Colón en 1492.Este explorador Italiano, era un católico practicante y tenía
entusiasmo e interes en la Biblia e interpretó sus misiones en términos de Providencia Divina, llamó a una de sus carabelas la “Santa María”en honor de Nuestra
Madre Bendita. Colón, tal vez el mayor explorador que el planeta haya conocido,
irradiaba un sentido de soñador, desafiante y lleno de energía como parte de su
genio italiano.
Tengan en mente que, para Colón, su viaje de descubrimiento fue un trabajo de evangelización. En su nave había misioneros; su primer acto al pisar
tierra en el Nuevo Mundo fue clavar la cruz y reclamar las nuevas tierras para
Cristo y su Iglesia, y pidió a los misioneros que celebren una Misa.
Como las calles Romanas proveyeron a Pedro y Pablo, esos primeros apóstoles, y los misioneros de
los primeros siglos el modo de divulgar la fe, los mares dieron a Colón la opción de servir a su primer soberano, Jesucristo.
Como italiano, Colón estaba acostumbrado al descubrimiento; descubrir estaba en su naturaleza italiana. Como italiano, Cristobal Colón fue criado para descubrir a Dios en cada cosa; Dios estaba en su Hijo
Jesucristo y en su Iglesia, en la liturgia y en los sacramentos; Dios estaba ahí en la admiración de una catedral,
en un fresco de Giotto, en el cántico de San Francisco de Asis, en un poema de Dante; Dios estaba ahí en el
crucifijo de Cimabue, en la música de los monjes, en la imagen de la Virgen al cruzar la calle, en un atardecer
en Toscana; Dios estaba ahí en el aroma del pan y el sabor del vino local, el amor de una esposa y el abrazo de
los niños; Dios estaba ahí en el pueblo, en la familia y en los amigos.
Dios estaba siempre ahí para ser descubierto como nos enseñan dos italianos y Redentoristas Alfonso
Liguori de Nápoles y GerardoMajella de Masterdomini (a quien celebramos este Viernes 16 de Octubre),
Tomás de Aquino, Ambrosio de Milan y Buenaventura.
La vida reveló a Dios en todas partes, y no hay parte de su creación, aún lo inexplorado, que esté más
alla de su amorosa providencia.
Yo creo, que si el italiano Cristobal Colón no lo hubiera hecho, alguien más pudiera haber descubierto América. Pero fue de hecho, alguien nacido en Genova, uno que tenía la cultura de Italia en sus huesos, quien posee el título. Este hijo de Italia se dio cuenta de que su descubrimiento no era sólo alguna hazaña
de navegación con implicaciones geográficas, económicas y políticas, sino un acto de fe, un acto emanando
desde el mismo sentido de la vida: de encontrar a Dios en todas partes, en todo, en todos, Dios es radiante,
vivo, rebozante de amor y emoción, esperando por nosotros para descubrirlo y aclamarlo. Feliz Columbus
Day!
Dios Bendiga América y Dios Nos Bendiga a Todos!!
