Urgent Prayer Request:  Please keep Sharon Simpson (mother of Betty Kober) in your prayers.  She has numerous health concerns.  Betty, her mom and her family can use all the prayers you can muster for them.  Storm heaven, that they can all accept God’s will.
 
THE SUNDAY MORNING “CLASSES” at St. Ann that Father Michael started holding several weeks ago, are still ongoing.  They are called a Study of our Catholic Faith.  Fr. Sweeney has topic ideas for each week but there is no set agenda, so if you come with questions, the answers might be that week’s agenda! There is no assigned homework and no tests! Informal and very informative. Those who have attended, even cradle Catholics,  have learned a lot and now have a much deeper understanding of, and greater appreciation for, our Catholic faith and customs. Feel free to join us and see what you think. Starts at 7:30 a.m. Sunday mornings in the Holy Family Room.  No pre-registration required!
 
ST. JOSEPH MISSALS FOR 2020 are available on the narthex table.  Suggested offering is $3.00.
 
2020 CALENDARS are also available on the narthex table with a suggested offering of $2.00.
 
ATTENTION READERS:  The 2020 St. Joseph workbooks for readers of the liturgy are now available in the sacristy.
