Ministries and Organizations

 

Adult Faith Formation Group - It is through the ...Adult Faith Formulation by which  people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer and study, must be “the central task in (this) catechetical enterprise,” becoming “the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age.”

 

These words were written by the Bishops of the United States in order to awaken a passion for renewal in the ministry of adult faith formation in our country.  Adult faith formation takes place in a multiplicity of ways in parishes.

 

In fact, every parish activity and event can become an occasion for adult faith formation. The renewed focus on adult faith  formation is not only exciting but it addresses a critical need in today’s world as Catholic adults seek to understand their faith, discover its relationship to their lives and find their way to Christ.

 

Altar Rosary Society – Our Altar  Rosary  Society started over 50 years ago.  We meet on the first Sunday of the month at the 8:00 a.m. Mass.  On the first Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. (excluding Holydays and Holidays) we gather in the Church for Rosary and Benediction followed by a business meeting and short social in the Parish Hall. We are responsible for the purchase and maintenance of the Linens, vestments and flowers used on the Altar.  Some of our fund raisers are dinners, bakeless bake sale, bingo and our annual bazaar usually held on the first weekend in November. We invite all woman over the age of 18 to join us on any first Monday and see if you would like to join.  If you have any questions please call the Rectory and they will direct the information to the person in charge.

 

Altar Servers - St. Ann's has an active Altar Server Program. The altar servers are an important part of the celebration of the Mass. All boys and girls 5th grade to 12th grade are encouraged to become altar servers. We also have social events for altar servers throughout the year, including monthly breakfasts, bowling, and meetings. You have to be able to attend different Masses depending on the schedule. Please contact the rectory to leave your name, age, and phone number if you are interested.

 

Bereavement Committee – Provides comfort and assistance to families of departed loved-ones by assisting the family of the deceased prior to and during the funeral Mass with    details like the selection of readings and songs that will be sung during the Mass. It is a time of deep sorrow for the grieving family and we are with them, assuring them of the support and prayers of the parish family.
