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.

UPCOMING EVENTS
***FELLOWSHIP HOUR: Saturday 9/23
Join us after the 4 pm Mass on 9/23 for a Fellowship period to connect with fellow parishioners before you head
out to dinner. There will be crackers and cheese, fruit and drinks so it's the perfect (and a free) appetizer! We will
be set up in the rose garden between the church and the rectory.
Sponsored by our Disciples of Hospitality.
***VOLUNTEER DRIVE - THIS WEEKEND
After all the Masses on the weekends of September 23-24 and September 30 October 1 we will be holding a
Volunteer Drive. As we work to expand our ministries and revive some that have been dormant since the Covid shutdown,
we need many more volunteers to make this possible. Please stop by the table to learn about the ways in which you can
help our collaborative better minister to all those whom we serve.
In the next few weeks, we will be running a ministry spotlight in the bulletin so you can learn more about our ministries.
All current volunteers should plan on stopping by the table so that they can fill out their paperwork for this fiscal year.
October Family Mass
Next Sunday, October 1st at the 9:30 Mass is our first Family Mass. We invite our children to serve as readers and gift bearers,
and Fr. Paul will call the kids up to the altar for the homily. After Mass there will be coffee and donuts under the tent in the Rose Garden.
If your child would like to do a reading or bring up the gifts, please email Matt Brady.

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.
