for home. Big hands and little hands are welcome, and all the
necessary supplies will be provided. A donation of $10 is

It’s Ladies’ Night…
…or, more precisely, ladies’ morning! We will begin a woman’s
gathering for Scripture study, faith sharing and fellowship

Eucharistic Adoration afterwards, if they wish. If you would

about this group, please e-mail or call Amy in the Faith

The Good News
Saint Ann Catholic School
Believe • Achieve • Inspire
• Thanks to everyone who came to the Fall Festival last
Saturday. Despite the dreary weather, many people of all ages
came to enjoy games, food, music, a silent auction and white
elephant sale. We are grateful for everyone’s support of the
school!
• Middle school students continue to pray the rosary daily for
the needs of our families, our parish, the Church and the
world. A blackboard is filled with prayer intentions, including
those for parishioners who are ill or who have passed away.
• Sixth-graders have become amateur sleuths while reading
The Westing Game, a murder mystery. Students act like
detectives by assembling “case files” with characterization
charts and context clues.
• The student council kicked off “Justice Is Served!” this week,
collecting canned or boxed food for the poor every day.
Collections will be combined with donations from the parish.

on the passage, allowing God to speak to you through it.

prayer or response to God’s gift of insight to you. Silent
pause.
4. Contemplatio: Read is aloud slowly a fourth time, now

October 19 World Mission Sunday – Organized by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, World Mission Sunday is
an important day in the life of the Church because it reminds
Catholics worldwide about the importance of giving: “…as an
offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration” and for
the missionary activity of the Church (see Redemptoris Missio
81). We are reminded, as stewards and disciples, that it is the
Lord through His universal Church, who we are called to serve
- with the same love that He gives to each of us.
Octubre 19 Domingo Mundial de las Misiones – Organizado

Señor, a través de Su Iglesia universal a quien somos
llamados a servir como corresponsables y discípulos, con el
mismo amor que Él da a cada uno de nosotros.
