At the Easter Vigil Mass, our parish welcomed three new members into the Church. Benjamin, Parrish, and Roberto were initiated into full communion with the Catholic Church by Fr. McHugh, Deacon Tim, and Deacon Jeff, as well as their sponsors and our parish family. It was a joyous, emotional, and inspirational ceremony. Please join us in congratulating our newest members!

We will begin the Divine Mercy Novena on Good Friday, April 19th. We will pray the Novena in the wing of the church following the 3 p.m. Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion. All are welcome to join us. In His revelations to St. Faustina Jesus requested that a Novena be said for the 9 days proceeding Divine Mercy Sunday. The Novena also includes the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy. Jesus also told St. Faustina , regarding Divine Mercy Sunday, that on that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the floodgates through which graces flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy. (699) The Diary of St. Faustina. Divine Mercy Sunday will be celebrated here at St. Ann on Sunday, April 28th with a Holy Hour from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Please join us to honor Our Lord’s request that the Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy. Please come and receive extraordinary graces.
