The Youth Group would like to thank all those who attended the Italian Dinner. Once again, it was a fun, festive and profitable night. This is an event that is anticipated not only by the Youth Group but the parish as well, and it is a wonderful opportunity to come together with our church family for fellowship. We would especially like to thank the Men’s Group for their generosity from their wine donations. Many hands go into making this a fun and delicious event, and we are thankful to all the parents for their support as well.
St. Anne’s Chapter of the ECW will meet on Wednesday, February 9th following the 10:30 AM communion service.

All we ask is that you bring a sandwich to share. All members of the church are welcome.
The Feast of Saints Timothy and Titus is celebrated on January 26th, but we like to celebrate this feast on the Sunday closest to January 26th. Saint Timothy is a great patron of our parish because he is a witness to what a powerful difference one man can make for the Gospel. Our Lord does not look at one’s age but for faithfulness to Christ and His Church in those who would follow him.
