Alert Event May 31, 2014 - June 01, 2014 All weekend Masses Religious Retirement Fund Collection

"THIS IS WHAT THE LORD ASKS OF YOU, ONLY THIS…."

The weekend of May 31/June 1 is the annual collection for the Religious Retirement Fund.

Religious Sisters and Brothers who have been involved in education, health care and social ministry in the Diocese of Rockville Centre need our help. The stipends being earned by young members of Religious Communities are no longer enough to support the needs of the elderly members of their Communities. The number of elderly Religious in assisted living or nursing facilities continues to rise and health care costs are rising too.

For this reason, the Diocese of Rockville Centre, for the past twenty-nine years, has committed to return to our Religious Communities a portion of our gifts of treasure, in appreciation for the many years of service to the people of our Diocese of these dedicated servants of Our Lord.

Please come prepared next week to assist the elderly Religious with a once-a-year gift, as generous as your means will allow. These gifts will be distributed among the twenty-nine communities who serve our Diocese.

Your gift may be placed in the mail or dropped in the collection basket on this weekend of May 31/June 1. On behalf of the Religious who serve in our parishes and hospitals, I thank you for your generosity.

Worship June 08, 2014 Pentecost Sunday

Pentecost is the birthday of the Church, born with lots of wind, noise and fire! The Holy Spirit was poured out upon that small group of disciples and on that Pentecost, through them, so many in Jerusalem came to believe. The true gift of Pentecost was bringing people together. No matter what nationality or what language, all experienced the work of the Spirit. What a wonderful, blessed beginning!

The Holy Spirit brings the gifts of wisdom, understanding, right judgment, fortitude, knowledge, piety and wisdom and awe in God’s presence. Each community is given these gifts to be the Body of Christ and continue Jesus’ saving mission.

As you leave church today, you will be given a “gift” of the Holy Spirit. Put this gift in a place that you will see it each day and remember to pray for this gift in your life and in the life of Saint Anne’s parish.

 Feast of the Most Holy Trinity

This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Our belief in the Triune God, three in one, is the central dogma of Christianity. Our One God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit in a relationship, a community of love. How wonderful and amazing is this mystery of our faith!

This Triune God chooses to be one with us, loving us into eternity. It is because of this divine community of love that we strive to be a community of love in our homes, workplaces and here in our parish. It moves us to express that love by reaching out to those in need, giving of ourselves for the good of others.

O Most Holy Trinity, undivided unity, Holy God, Mighty God, God Immortal be adored!

High School Seniors in Ministry

Saint Anne’s is fortunate to have many young people involved in ministry. They set an example of faithfulness by volunteering as altar servers, catechists, lectors or leaders in Youth Ministry through their busy high school years. Many serve in more than one ministry.

The parish would like to recognize their contributions to these ministries at the 8:30AM Mass on Sunday, June 22nd. If you are a high school senior involved in ministry, hopefully you have received a letter inviting you to attend this Mass. If for any reason, you did not receive this invitation, our apologies and we hope to see you on June 22nd.

Please RSVP to Susanne Blum at 352-5904 or sblum@stannesgc.org to let us know if you will be able to attend the Mass on June 22nd.

On Sunday, June 22, the feast of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) will be celebrated with a special liturgy and procession at the 11:45AM Mass. Please mark your calendars and plan on being present at the 11:45AM Mass. The procession with the Blessed Sacrament will take place on the sidewalk (Church side) of Dartmouth Street to Edgemere Road and Fairmount Boulevard back to Church for Benediction.

Pope John Paul II in his letter Mane Nobiscum Domine (Stay with us, Lord) urged processions on the Feast of Corpus Christi:

“Let us celebrate with particular devotion the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, with its traditional procession. Our faith in God who took flesh in order to become our companion along the way needs to be everywhere proclaimed, especially in our streets and homes, as an expression of our grateful love and as an inexhaustible source of blessing.”

May this procession be a source of blessing for our parish of Saint Anne.

Solemnity of Saint Peter and Paul, Apostles

 

Next Sunday, June 29th is the feast of Saints Peter and Paul, the two founders of the Church of Rome. Peter and Paul represent all believers and show us how to be church: by pursuing who Jesus is for us, being faithful to Jesus’s mission, and accepting any risks necessary to proclaim Jesus as Lord.

In a sermon in the year 395, St. Augustine of Hippo said of Saints Peter and Paul:

“Both apostles share the same feast day, for these two were one; and even though they suffered on different days, they were as one. Peter went first, and Paul followed. And so we celebrate this day made holy for us by the apostles' blood. Let us embrace what they believed, their life, their labors, their sufferings, their preaching, and their confession of faith.”
