***UPCOMING ADULT FORMATION POGRAMS***

Join us for a two-part series about the Mass.

***Drawn into the Life of God: The Meaning of the Mass

Wednesday 11/12 at 10 am at St. John and 7 pm at St. Ann (parish center)

Ever wondered about the meaning behind all the stuff we do at Mass? Then this program is for you! We will be watching and discussing a video presented by Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane, Australia as he guides us through the meaning of each part of the Mass.

***Living the Mass

Wednesday 11/19 at 10 am at St. John and 7 pm at St. Ann (parish center)

Did you know the most important sign in the church is the Exit sign? That is because the hour we spend in prayer at Mass is meant to prepare us for the other 167 hours a week we spend outside church. Drawing on the book by noted catechist Joe Paprocki of the same name, come learn how we can live what we do at Mass in our everyday lives.


ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES

Classes will be beginning soon for any adult who has not received the Sacrament of Confirmation but is looking to do so. Please contact Matt Brady for more information.


***Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Never Been Confirmed but Want to be?
We have a program for you!

RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the process by which adults who are not members of Church can receive the sacraments and become a Catholic. We also will be holding a 6 week class for anyone who has never been Confirmed but has already been Baptized and received First Communion. If you would like to participate in either class, please email or call Matt Brady.

***Christmas Sharing Planning

Plans are being made for this year's Christmas Sharing Program and we need your help. Families have been surveyed, and the decision is to again give gift cards to children age 17 and younger in needy families. The families must be in need and meet one of the following criteria: be parishioners of St. Ann's, live in West Bridgewater, attend West Bridgewater schools, or be recommended by a parishioner of St. Ann's. As always, we rely on you to help us find the families in need of assistance. If you know of a family who is struggling due to a job loss, injury or disability, please call Linda Santry at 508-586-6535, or email her, linda@santry.org, or Lisa Ames at 508-328-0295, or email her, lisaamesrn@comcast.net

We also are updating our list of senior citizens for a Christmas remembrance. This year we will provide gift cards and a small goodie basket to senior citizens who are needy or have no family to remember them at Christmas. If you know if someone we should include, please call Linda Santry or Lisa Ames.

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.
