                                   Lancing                                                                                                         March 1, 2020
 
Remember in your prayers : Kevin Keller, 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.
 
Bishop Stika wants to inform you that the Month of February Restriction on Offering the Sign of Peace and the Distribution of Sacred Blood has Ended.  – We will resume the aforementioned beginning this weekend. 
 
To all Saint Ann parishioners:
Most of you will know Stephanie and Kevin Keller who were parishioners several years ago.
Kevin suffered a massive heart attack several of days ago. At present his heart is functioning at 35% capacity. His doctors are unsure if they can improve on that number. He is wearing a defibrillator vest and will have a permanent defibrillator installed in the near future.
As you know, Saint Ann holds a special place in Kevin and Stephanie's hearts. When Kevin is stronger, they want to come to Saint Ann for Mass and second Sunday breakfast. 
Please remember Kevin and Stephanie in your prayers. 
I am sure Kevin would appreciate receiving a card or note.

God bless you.   Father Michael
