INTERCESSION OF SAINT ANN
We’Ve installed the statue of
saint ann, mother of mary and
grandmother of jesus.
Average Weekly Envelope Collection $31.22
Comment: “I received the bulk of my income
quarterly, so when I wrote the first tithing check
based on three months of income I was terrified.
I looked at it and thought ‘that is way too much
money to give to the church’ but we did. It got
easier. I worried whether we were giving enough.
It was really freeing.”
Through the intercession of Saint Ann to whom
this campaign is dedicated, may we face the
challenges of our undertaking with courage,
cooperation and generosity.
For the Honor of Our Lady and the
Glory of God
Pastors Comment: “Last week we heard the
passage from St. Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians
which spoke of ‘putting on the new self.’ If we
believe in Christ, then our lives should reflect that
belief. Thank you for putting your faith into action
and allowing others to see the Christ in you.”

CLEANING
FOR
A
REASON: If you know of any
woman currently undergoing
chemo please pass the word to
her that there is a cleaning service that provides
FREE housecleaning – 1 time per month for 4
months while she is in treatment. All she has to
do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note
confirming the treatment. CLEANING FOR A
REASON will have a participating service in her
zip code area arrange for the service. This
organization serves the entire USA and currently
has 547 partners to help these women. It is our
job to pass the word and let them know that there
are people out there that care. Be a blessing to
someone and pass this information along.
