St. Ann's Catholic Church

Tomorrow (Monday, March 25), we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, when the angel Gabriel visited Mary and told her that God wanted her to be the mother of God's son. When she uttered her fiat ("be it done") or her "yes" to God's will, the Word of God began to take flesh in her womb, making it the first moment of the Incarnation (which we fittingly celebrate nine months prior to Christmas). We will celebrate the Eucharist on this special feast day at 12:15 p.m. and Adoration will begin at 1 p.m.

Our parish's Confirmation students will be serving lunch this Saturday (March 30) at Faith City Mission in Amarillo. Please meet at the parish hall at 9:30 a.m. for a group session prior to our departure for the service project. We will return to St. Ann's around 2:30 p.m.

Students in grades 5-12 will gather for Mass this Wednesday evening at 6 p.m., followed by a delicious pasta penne bake prepared by our youth director Adrian. After we eat, intermediate/junior high students will discuss different Lenten traditions while high school students will break into their men's and women's discussion groups! See you there!

Our parish's first Fish Fry of the Lenten season will be this Friday (March 29) from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The price of the meal is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 5-12. Children under 5 eat free. Please make plans to join us and invite your friends and neighbors to come along! Our second Fish Fry will be on Friday, April 12.

The St. Ann's parish council will meet this Thursday, March 28 at 7 p.m. in meeting room C. If you are unable to attend, please call the parish office ASAP. Thanks!

Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:20 a.m. for a video/discussion series entitled "Entering the Passion of Jesus."

For those who have been reading this month's book, "Embracing Grace" by Scot McKnight, you have more time to read! The dates for the two discussion group options have been changed to early next month. You can choose to participate in a group either on Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m. or on Friday, April 12, at 1 p.m. Sorry for any inconvenience this change might cause! Hopefully it will simply give you more time to finish the book!
