Remember in your prayers : Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Helen Lucas, Gavin Francis, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen,Dolores Hayden, the Boniewski family, Lonnie Howard, Katie Kon, and Mary Beth Norris.          
Also remember in your prayers the homebound, those in nursing homes, those who have no one to pray for them,  those in prisons, physical or mental and those who have unspoken prayer requests.
 
DOLORES HAYDEN, (for those who have not heard yet), reports that her January scan of brain, chest and abdomen, were 100% clear of cancer!  She misses her St. Ann family and thanks all for the thoughts and prayers on her behalf.  Thank you Lord for answered prayers!
 
FOR THOSE WHO DIDN’T GET ONE BEFORE, we have in the narthex, more copies of the book,  Letter to a Suffering Church by Bishop Robert Barron. Feel free to get your copy or pick up a copy for friends or family.
 
POINSETTIAS from Christmas are in the stairwell and narthex for any “green-thumbers” to take home.  Or if don’t want the plants, feel free to take one or more for the soil in the pots.

THE SUNDAY MORNING “CLASSES” at St. Ann that Father Michael started holding several weeks ago, are still ongoing. We will soon begin a study of the Mass.  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!
