Fr. Jim’s Message
Dear Friends:
This week my words are all words of GRATITUDE for all the generosity shown toward last Sunday’s PARISH PICNIC. A wonderful time was had for the (over) one hundred people who gathered for the Mass in Honor of Saint Ann and for the cookout that followed. Then over THIRTY baskets which were donated by parishioners were raffled off… it was a fun afternoon… even with the heat the parish hall was air-conditioned and made for a comfortable setting. Words of gratitude go to:
Chris Buckley and the Knights of Columbus spearheaded the event… to those who shopped and donated the bulk of the supplies and food for the cookout. To the ladies who put together the BASKETS FOR RAFFLE… and to those who donated WHOLE baskets, many thanks for your generosity. Thanks, too, to those who donated money for the occasion… those who bought tickets for the raffles, those who set up and took down… the servers… the cooks, and those who brought food
and desserts.
Though many of you have been a part of the PARISH PICNIC in the past, it was a first for me since I landed here last year. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and I witnessed the generosity of Saint Ann’s Parish up and close. Sunday was “Parish” at its best!
Good Saint Ann, pray for us!
Father Jim
