Catechists Needed

There is no greater gift we can give to our children than our

faith. Parents are the first and foremost catechists for their

children. Our Religious Education programs assist parents in

this endeavor by teaching scripture, doctrines, beliefs and

traditions of the Catholic Church. We offer classes

September through May to children ages Pre-K through 8th

grades from 9:15 to 10:15 a.m. Our program has a number

of openings for people who wish to share their Catholic faith

with children. Please prayerfully consider joining this

rewarding ministry. For more info, contact Suzanne

Zimmermann in the Parish Office:

szimmermann@stanneweb.com/706-561-8678.

Spotlight on Stewardship

April 23, 2017 Stewardship Reflection “Jesus came and stood among them and said to them,

‘Peace be with you.’” John 20:19

Are you good at making people feel welcome? When you

meet someone new, a new neighbor, a new work

colleague, a new parishioner, do you make them feel at

home? Many of us can probably do a much better job at

this. When we make people feel welcome, we make

them feel like they are included instead of being

excluded. A simple “hello” and a smile goes a long way.

St. Anne Community Outreach St. Anne Community Outreach needs additional drivers to

help pick up bread and pastries from local grocery stores

on Monday mornings (8-9 a.m.) & evenings

(9:30-10:30 p.m.). If you can help, please contact

Outreach at 706-568-1592/outreach@sasphs.net.

Interested in other volunteer opportunities at Outreach?

From stocking inventory, to sorting clothes, the Center

needs your helping hands! Youth volunteer opportunities

exist, as well. Visit stannecsg.com/outreach for info.

2nd Collection for Priest Retirement Fund: $13,416

2017 Bishop’s Annual Appeal (BAA) Parish Goal: $158,631

$49,860 (pledged); $50,650 (one-time payments);

215 family donors or 14.96% of parish families

This year the Bishop’s Annual Appeal (BAA) is blessed to

have a very generous anonymous donor who will match

dollar for dollar any increase you will give this year in

your contribution beyond your contribution last year to

the BAA. If you have already made your pledge to this

year’s BAA and you have increased your gift, the increase

will be matched dollar for dollar. If you are a new

parishioner or a new donor to the BAA at St. Anne Parish,

your entire gift or fulfilled pledge over the course of this

year will be matched by an equal amount. This matching

gift is a tremendous blessing to our Diocese and should

help us at St. Anne Parish to reach our target of

$158,631. To take advantage of these matching funds,

your pledges and donations to the BAA for 2017 will

need to be made before Apr. 30, 2017.
