FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS<br />

Please contact Fr. Lou or Sister Ann first when making funeral<br />

arrangements (time, etc.) rather than making these arrangements<br />

through the funeral home. This allows Fr. Lou to be with the family<br />

during this difficult time <strong>of</strong> decision making and can also cut down on<br />

the frustration <strong>of</strong> waiting for arrangements to be verified through<br />

several parties.<br />

MISSION OF OUR PARISH<br />

God calls us to proclaim The Word<br />

to celebrate our call<br />

in the service <strong>of</strong> one another.<br />

In our call <strong>of</strong> service<br />

we accept the responsibility<br />

to evangelize within our own community<br />

and beyond…<br />

to collaborate in the spirit <strong>of</strong> ecumenism.<br />

As a sacramental people<br />

we come together for Word and nourishment,<br />

welcoming and celebrating new life<br />

through Baptism,<br />

Confirmation,<br />

<strong>Eucharist</strong>.<br />

We are a community that celebrates<br />

God’s healing in the Sacraments <strong>of</strong> Reconciliation<br />

and the Anointing <strong>of</strong> the sick,<br />

and God’s love in the Sacrament <strong>of</strong> Marriage<br />

and Ordination.<br />

We recognize the dignity <strong>of</strong> each person,<br />

striving to be a more just and peaceful society.<br />

We recognize that stewardship is an integral part<br />

<strong>of</strong> our Christian mission and will commit<br />

ourselves to use resources in a wise manner.<br />

Something to think about: When preparing your estate, please consider St. Ann, your parish family, in your will.<br />

Your gift can help the parish continue Faith Community in the future.


FR. LOU’S REFLECTION<br />

“In war, it’s always the children”<br />

“Little child,<br />

dry your crying eyes<br />

you were born into this evil world<br />

where man is killing man<br />

and no one knows why…”<br />

When the Children Cry by White Lion, 1987<br />

Jesus was very adamant against any disciple<br />

who would lead or cause “these little ones”<br />

to sin.”<br />

How many times have we seen pictures<br />

in our newspapers,<br />

in our magazines<br />

on our TV screens<br />

where little ones, just kids,<br />

are carrying automatic weapons<br />

ready for kill,<br />

to kill?<br />

What happened in the Houla region <strong>of</strong> Syria<br />

should cause all <strong>of</strong> us to cry bloody murder.<br />

108 victims were massacred,<br />

most <strong>of</strong> them children.<br />

Syria has been crumpling from civil unrest,<br />

war if you want,<br />

because a dictator doesn’t want to quit.<br />

This scene <strong>of</strong> children<br />

dying in grown-up wars<br />

is just too despicable to even contemplate---<br />

but this author must.<br />

Children are always in the firing range,<br />

as well as mothers and women,<br />

the aged and the crippled<br />

when it comes to war.<br />

Dead children line the roads by the scores<br />

in the Mexican drug war;<br />

in Somali Civil war, many thousands<br />

are buried without their names known;<br />

in Iraq, where internal bitterness continues, and<br />

death by bombing seems to be the weapon <strong>of</strong> choice;<br />

in Colombia, armed conflict has taken the lives <strong>of</strong><br />

some 200,000 in the past fifty years…<br />

And even in our own America,<br />

teens killing teens seems to be an every<br />

night occurrence in the slums <strong>of</strong> our cities.<br />

But someone had to start it,<br />

be it with hate and envy,<br />

with the cause <strong>of</strong> nationalism,<br />

with money, drugs, sex---<br />

and nothing would be complete without<br />

the weapons.<br />

Someone is making out<br />

while wars are fought<br />

and our children,<br />

God’s children are paying the price.<br />

PASS IT ON—Thank you to all who were involved with<br />

Pass It On this spring! We opened our doors Saturday<br />

morning, May 12th, with a hall full <strong>of</strong> organized donations,<br />

ready to serve over 620 children in need (over 280<br />

Families attended). Every volunteer and donor played a<br />

big part in making this a reality. We thank you for all the<br />

clothes & supplies donated, the food provided for the<br />

volunteers, the hours dedicated to planning, moving, organizing<br />

and sorting the donations and serving those in<br />

need. Thank you for a making a difference in the world!<br />

EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE MINISTRY – St. Ann parish<br />

has an ongoing committee dedicated to helping those<br />

within the parish that are seeking employment. If you are<br />

in need <strong>of</strong> this service, please contact Sr. Ann or Fr. Lou<br />

at 526-2548. If you wish to volunteer for this ministry or<br />

are aware <strong>of</strong> a job opportunity, please contact Tom<br />

Sokol, 530-0408.<br />

MINISTRY TO THE SICK – Our <strong>Eucharist</strong>ic outreach<br />

ministers look forward to bringing God’s word, the <strong>Eucharist</strong><br />

and the love <strong>of</strong> the community to all those who are ill.<br />

If we can be <strong>of</strong> service to you or a member <strong>of</strong> your family,<br />

please call Sr. Ann, 526-2548, Cathy Laskowski, 748-<br />

0527, or Mary Lou Sapko, 526-8534.<br />

HOSPITAL VISITATION REMINDER – If you or a family<br />

member are in the hospital and would like to be visited,<br />

please call the church <strong>of</strong>fice (526-2548) and inform Fr.<br />

Lou and/or Sister Ann. We have no other way <strong>of</strong> knowing<br />

that there is someone in the hospital who would like<br />

to be visited. Thank you.<br />

HAVE YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER BEEN DIAG-<br />

NOSED WITH CANCER? Has your world been turned<br />

upside down and you don’t know where to get accurate<br />

information? Lance Armstrong’s organization has written<br />

a Livestrong Guidebook and a Guidebook Planner and<br />

Journal “to help you not only live, but live life on your<br />

terms”. It takes you from the diagnosis to your treatment<br />

to your aftercare. The book contains 26 pages <strong>of</strong> resource<br />

information. The response from many cancer<br />

patients has been “I wish I had those books” when I was<br />

first diagnosed. The books may be obtained from Sister<br />

Ann for a small fee <strong>of</strong> $2.50. If you find these books are<br />

not helpful to you or your family please return them to<br />

Sister Ann and she will refund your money.

RELOAD YOUR KROGER CARDS!<br />

While it’s always a good idea to purchase Feed<br />

Your Faith cards, Kroger makes it even better<br />

for us.<br />

You are encouraged to “re-load” your Kroger<br />

cards at the store. The rebate amount continues<br />

to accumulate and each time the Parish<br />

total reaches $5000, Kroger sends us another<br />

check!<br />

Thank you for your continued support <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Feed Your Faith program (and don’t forget to reload<br />

those Kroger cards.)<br />

Altar and Arts Ministry - Final Meeting until the Fall - Thursday, June 7th, 10:00 am in Condon Hall. Please let<br />

Wednesday, June 6th. Also, voice your ideas for the Ministry Fair.


JUSTICE & PEACE<br />

OUR DAILY BREAD FOOD PANTRY - is always in need <strong>of</strong> donations. This might be a good time to use some <strong>of</strong> those<br />

dollar coupons that require buying two items. The extra item could be donated to the food pantry. You could be saving<br />

money and donating at the same time. How awesome is that? Think about it. Take advantage <strong>of</strong> those coupons while<br />

helping others. This week we are low on tuna, canned spinach, red beets, peas and carrots. Also pork and beans, jelly,<br />

spaghetti/sauce and deodorant. However, we will be happy to receive any items you can donate. So, remember to use<br />

those coupons. Thank you for serving the Lord and One Another.<br />

“Jack Lambert - Our Daily Bread Food Pantry Fund. “<br />

Jack Lambert, a longtime volunteer in the Our Daily Bread<br />

Food Pantry, passed away on September 28, 2011. Jack<br />

served with three different Food Pantry directors from<br />

1999 until 2011. When Jack began as a volunteer the Food<br />

Pantry operated out <strong>of</strong> a closet in Condon Hall and the Director<br />

was Mary Middleton. The pantry opened two afternoons<br />

per week and served 32 clients that year. Denise<br />

Barisano became the Food Pantry Director in 2000 and 209<br />

clients were served. The current director, Evelyn Keesler<br />

took over in 2001. Today, the Food Pantry opens five days<br />

per week and serves nearly 7,000 clients.<br />

Jack served as team leader since 2001. In his capacity as<br />

team leader he was responsible for ensuring that volunteers<br />

on his team were kept informed and available when<br />

needed: frequently contacting CCHASM, the referral organization<br />

concerning clients; three days a week picking<br />

up grocery store donations and driving to Richmond once a<br />

month for the ramen noodle donation! Jack was greatly<br />

loved by all and he loved all those he met in connection<br />

with the Food Pantry.<br />

He was definitely an integral part <strong>of</strong> the Food Panty’s<br />

growth and was instrumental in setting up the present operation.<br />

He would do anything that was asked <strong>of</strong> him.<br />

There were times when Jack would threaten to quit the<br />

Food Pantry and this threat became a running joke between<br />

Jack and Evelyn. In the spirit <strong>of</strong> this running joke,<br />

the Lambert Family has generously donated a significant<br />

amount <strong>of</strong> money to start the “Jack Lambert - Our Daily<br />

Bread Food Pantry Fund. “<br />

We are grateful to the Family for this contribution made in<br />

Jack’s memory. His spirit <strong>of</strong> caring will live on as individuals<br />

with needs are assisted by the Food Pantry.<br />

In the future, all contributions to the Food Pantry will be<br />

placed in this Fund. Checks should be made out to “St. Ann<br />

Catholic Church” and designated for the specific support <strong>of</strong><br />

the Food Pantry which will help build this Fund and Jack’s<br />

legacy.<br />

A PRAYER FOR RESOLUTION IN IRAN<br />

I pray, we, our community pray, O Lord God,<br />

for a good and just outcome in the discussions that are<br />

currently on going with Iran and five other nations, including<br />

our country. We implore that you inspire each<br />

person in these deliberations to act with a sincere<br />

conscience and a deep respect for humanity.<br />

We ask, Lord God, that the divine hand <strong>of</strong> your Son,<br />

Jesus, lead the way for all nations to let go <strong>of</strong> all weapons<br />

<strong>of</strong> mass destruction---<br />

and for those countries seeking nuclear weapons<br />

who harbor sinister thoughts in the hope <strong>of</strong><br />

eliminating their perceived grievousness by acts<br />

<strong>of</strong> destruction. We pray that Mary, the Queen <strong>of</strong> Peace,<br />

may shed her light to enkindle greater understanding<br />

among all nations in their hope <strong>of</strong> living without the fear<br />

<strong>of</strong> nuclear attack or retaliation.<br />

Each Thursday, from 9:00-9:15am I will invite our community<br />

to join me in prayer in our chapel, and also join<br />

me in a day <strong>of</strong> fasting for peace in our world —- and for<br />

life that is either denied or taken away from others (i.e.,<br />

abortion and capital punishment).<br />

Gracious wonderful God, we thank you for the end<br />

<strong>of</strong> our nation’s war in Iraq and the ending war in<br />

Afghanistan. We ask you to continue to comfort those<br />

who suffer loss <strong>of</strong> life. Heal all the wounded<br />

and bless those who labor for a world without strife.<br />

Bless our soldiers and personnel in these war-torn<br />

countries that they may see the fruits <strong>of</strong> their labor.<br />

Amen.<br />

BUILDING<br />

St. Ann Ministry Fair set for June 23-24<br />

Do you enjoy gardening, music, Bible study, group prayer and<br />

meditation, teaching young people about Christ, or journeying<br />

with someone who is exploring the Catholic faith? These<br />

opportunities, among many others, will be the focus <strong>of</strong> the St. Ann<br />

Ministry Fair scheduled for June 23-24 after each mass.<br />

Coordinators and volunteers from ministries supported by our<br />

church will be on hand to discuss the work they do and answer<br />

questions about ways that you can become involved. At the<br />

Ministry Fair, groups will tell their stories through displays and<br />

photos and provide a brochure or card that visitors can take with<br />

them that gives details on the ministry’s accomplishments. Sign-up<br />

cards will be available for any <strong>of</strong> our featured ministries.<br />

When you visit the Ministry Fair, you’ll have the chance to<br />

hear about the many ways that our members serve each other—<br />

ministries focused on fellowship and hospitality that bring us<br />

together to celebrate our community. You will also see how we<br />

serve those in our community—ministries that <strong>of</strong>fer food and<br />

clothing to the needy or provide spiritual nourishment to those in<br />

prison.<br />

If you have been wondering about how you may give an hour<br />

or two <strong>of</strong> your time to help others, or if you are interested in<br />

making new friends, be sure to attend this exciting event. If you<br />

are a new member <strong>of</strong> our parish and would like to get to know<br />

more about the activities and services that are available at St. Ann,<br />

you will not want to miss the Ministry Fair.<br />

There’s something for everyone!<br />

WHY IS IT<br />

A man wakes up after sleeping<br />

under an ADVERTISED blanket<br />

on an ADVERTISED mattress<br />

and pulls <strong>of</strong>f ADVERTISED pajamas<br />

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower<br />

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor<br />

brushes his teeth<br />

with ADVERTISED toothpaste<br />

washes with ADVERTISED soap<br />

puts on ADVERTISED clothes<br />

drinks a cup<br />

<strong>of</strong> ADVERTISED c<strong>of</strong>fee<br />

drives to work<br />

in an ADVERTISED car<br />

and then . . . .<br />

refuses to ADVERTISE<br />

believing it doesn’t pay.<br />

Later if business is poor<br />

he ADVERTISES it for sale.<br />

WHY IS IT?<br />

Consider<br />

Remembering<br />

Your Parish in<br />

Your Will.<br />
