To love the Lord is the path, and the only path, to hoping in the Lord, to knowing that calling for help will not be in vain. We will not be abandoned or forsaken.

Join your St. Ann parish family tomorrow, Saturday, June 12th for an evening to celebrate our Catholic faith, friendship and community. Mass begins at 4 PM outside on the athletic field and picnic, music and fellowship starts at 5 PM.

Using a Pentecost chant for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is a beautiful reminder that the Eucharist is not in competition with the Word or the Spirit. God gives many different sorts of “bread” and “wine” so that we can live. Biblical stories, metaphors and symbolic liturgical experiences are not rivals of one another– they complement each other.

Sunday after Sunday we should recall in a spirit of gratitude the gifts which the Blessed Trinity is bestowing upon us. The Father creating us; on the first day of the week He began the work of creation. The Son redeeming us; Sunday is the "Day of the Lord," the day of His resurrection. The Holy Spirit sanctifying us, making us His temple; on Sunday the Holy Spirit descended upon the infant Church. Sunday, therefore, is the day of the Most Holy Trinity.

We have completed the journey through Easter. We’ve learned to live and love and worship in a new reality where our expressions of welcome and community have been disrupted, perhaps changed forever.
