We, The Together in Christ Collaborative of St. Ann and St. John the Evangelist, welcome and engage all ages to become the disciples that Jesus is calling all of us to be. United by faith and in the Celebration of the Mass, we embrace the call of Jesus to live our mission to "Go forth and make disciples." Through evangelization, education, and by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we will grow together as One Body of Christ.

***Christmas Sharing Planning
After surveying our Christmas Sharing families, we will again be asking you for gift cards that will be distributed to the families and senior citizens. The following stores are preferred: Target, Walmart, Kohl's, Amazon, We are asking for gift cards in any amount up to $50. This will allow us the flexibility to give an amount appropriate to the family or senior citizen. We will also need $25 Trucchi's or Market Basket cards for families and Senior Citizens, and items for the Senior Citizens' gift bags. All gift cards should be placed in an envelope marked "Christmas Sharing" in the St. Vincent dePaul boxes at the doors of the church, or sent to Linda Santry. Checks should be made out to St. Ann's, with "Christmas Sharing" in the memo line. They must be received by December 5th, to allow the parents' time to purchase gifts before Christmas. There is a box at the rear of the church for Senior Citizens gift bag items.
This year we will also be collecting toys for the parents to choose from for their children. There will be a bin in the back of the church for you to place new toys for children aged 1 to 16.See the handout on November 8/9th for more details.
If there are any questions, please call or email Linda Santry: 508-586-6535 or linda@santry.org, or Lisa

DAILY BREAD
Prayer for Spiritual Communion
by St. Maximillian Kolbe
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever.
Amen.
