Today is #GivingTuesday, a global generosity movement. Donating to St. Ann supports our mission; We are a faith-filled community that lives the love of God through Word, Sacrament, and Service. We invite you to make a gift online today for #GivingTuesday.
During this year of Eucharistic Revival, and as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families and friends I am reminded of the origin of the word “Eucharist.” It comes from the Greek word Eucharistia (εὐχαριστία) meaning "thanksgiving."
In the Offertory, the bread and the wine are usually brought forward in procession along with the monetary gifts of the congregation. The procession of the gifts is an intentional aspect of the Mass.
The St. Ann niche (pictured) and St. Joseph, Sacred Heart and Mary niche located near the Mission Road entrance received a update this past week. The niches were painted a beautiful blue.
