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 />

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 />
