To have the opportunity to attend a Catholic school is a privilege we are proud to offer at Annunciation of the Lord parish. We are hopeful and excited about the opportunities and challenges before us. To fund the necessary teaching units, ongoing programs, and up-to-date technology used to facilitate competitive education, I invite your support. In order to provide the students, staff, and faculty of St. Ann Catholic School with the best opportunities to succeed, we are asking you to join with us in the St. Ann School Annual Appeal campaign in reaching our goal to raise $80,000 this year. Please prayerfully consider giving a gift to this worthy ministry. There will be opportunities for matching gifts. Every gift given to the school supports our commission to proclaim the good news with joy. Let’s pull together once again as our parish always has to meet this challenge for the benefit of our children. Whatever amount you choose to give will be a blessing to the school. Your gift to St. Ann Catholic School is tax deductible. Please make all checks payable to St. Ann’s Educational Foundation. Funds given to this collection will qualify for St. Ann Society Circle acknowledgement. We have collected $14,332 as of Feb. 18th.

Stewardship

“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God….” It must have been difficult for Jesus to come into Galilee, knowing that John had just been arrested for teaching a similar message to his. Just as it took great love and trust for Jesus to press on, following a life of stewardship takes great love and trust from us. We must be willing to surrender completely to God, trusting that God will always give us all that we need to fulfill His plan for us.
