Remember in your prayers : Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Gavin Francis, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, Norma Cartwright, 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.
 
TAKEN FROM THE BISHOP’S EMAIL TO PASTORS:
A time honored tradition of the Church is the annual celebration of Masses that are known by the color associated with the profession of those we remember and pray for in a special way.  Specifically they are the:
             Blue Mass for those serving in law enforcement and as first responders
             Red Mass for those serving in the judiciary and legal profession
             White Mass for those serving in the health profession
             Green Mass for those who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces
These Masses have been celebrated annually at the Cathedral, but the Bishop is asking that each parish of the diocese, as much as is practical, also do so.
 
MASS INTENTION today will be for those serving in law enforcement and first responders.
 
Saint Michael Prayer Cards are available in the narthex as gifts for first responders and police officers. Saint Michael is the patron saint of all first responders and police officers, and we will be giving these cards to all of the local Police, Sheriff’s, Fire, and EMS Departments serving Saint Ann Parish and the local communities of Morgan County. If you have a family member or friend who is a police officer, firefighter, or EMS/rescue worker, please feel free to pick one up for them.

ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL PRAYER:  You may recall Father Michael announcing last year that the bishop directed all parishes in the diocese to offer the prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel at Mass for one year. The weekend of October 6th will complete the year. After that date, we will no longer offer the Archangel prayer as a community. The prayer cards will remain available. Individuals, who wish to continue offering the prayer, might kneel for a moment after the sending hymn to pray it privately.
