Stewardship Thought For The Week
The parable in today’s Gospel clearly warns that we, like
the fig tree, will be judged by our fruit. While God mercifully provides us
with the time and opportunity, let us give witness to our faith with deeds of
kindness and generosity!

Catholic Charity Appeal
This is the second weekend for the Catholic Charity Appeal
in-pew solicitation. Christian stewards recognize Christ as the giver of all
our many gifts. We are grateful for these many gifts and are eager to give
back and return some of these gifts in appreciation to show our love for Christ
and for one another. All of us share as Christ’s disciples in the mission of
the Diocese of Providence. Only together can we accomplish God’s work. We as
a parish family, have an opportunity to make our pledge in support of those
less fortunate. Please make a pledge today. Thank you.
From The Pastor...
Catholic Charity Fund Appeal
First, let me apologize for a mistake that I made last
weekend. When quoting statistics regarding our parish donations, I said that
we are the third lowest per capita in giving. However, the average gift amount
for St. Ann Parish stated was erroneous: not $6.75, but $67.50. The Diocesan
average gift is $166.70. I apologize for misreading of the amount, but I think
most of you understand the eyesight plays tricks on you as you get older. We
are already at $2,220.00 with just 4 gifts. Only $29,000.00 more to go.
