CHILDREN’S MASS / FAMILY MASS
The Children’s Mass / Family Mass is designed to give special focus on
children and their families. All are welcome.
First Reading: Acts 5:12-16
The people held the apostles in great esteem and brought sick
people to them to be healed. Although some were afraid to be
known, the number of Jesus' followers continued to grow
steadily.
Second Reading: Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19
John depicts a vision of lamp-stands of gold and one like the
Son of Man in a robe with a sash of gold. This apparition told
John he had nothing to fear and then described himself as one
who was dead but now lived again. He then instructed John to
record any other visions he might have.
Gospel: John 20:19-31
Jesus appeared to the disciples and breathed on them saying,
"Receive the Holy Spirit." He gives them the power to forgive
people's sins or hold them accountable. Thomas, who was not
present, refused to believe Jesus had appeared until he came
to them once more. Jesus told Thomas to believe and added,
"Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

ENDOWMENT FUND
Our church of St. Ann has been the place where we
have seen the face of God through the ups and downs of our
life’s moments. The presence of God in our church as well as in
the lives of our people has sustained those who have gone
before us here. Now, as the parish debt is eliminated, it is
important to ensure the legacy of our faith and worship for
those who would follow us here at St. Ann’s for generations to
come.
It is with the humble realization that St. Ann’s church
has a destiny designed by God to be a beacon of faith and hope
in our community, that we start the Church Endowment Fund.
Any contribution, however small or large, will be received with a
grateful heart. A donation of $1000 or more over a period of
time would give us the opportunity to memorialize or honor
someone we love in the Book of Endowment. A contributor of
$25000 or more over a period of time would be considered a
Founder of our church Endowment Fund. This fund is designed
in such a way that the principal will not be used. If and when a
need arises on a rainy day, only the interest on the Endowment
Fund will be used.
May the donations we make for this purpose come
from our gratitude to God for His blessings in our life. May the
good Lord bless us and our families and keep us close to His
heart as we continue doing His work.
Founders $25000
Stewards $15000
