New CDs this month are MEET YOUR MOTHER, an introduction to Mary by
Mark Miravalle. This was recommended by George Boyd and it is great.
You will learn new things about Mary. The other new CD is THE HEALING
POWER OF CONFESSION by Dr. Scott Hahn. This CD has a story
about Saint JP2 that gave me chills. As always, after you have listened to them
3 or 4 times, share them with someone else.
If you have any suggestions of CDs for me to order, e-mail me at
thedance@mac.com or text me at 388-5824.

STRENGTH AND COURAGE
Prayer infuses the weak with strength
and the fainthearted with courage.
What a great and easy way to fundraise for our Parish!! Using the scrip program
is easy. You can place an order through the church or school office for
gift cards or use their website to order directly from scrip and St. Ann's will get
a percentage of what you order. You can buy groceries at Walmart using a
gift card for whatever amount you spend and St. Ann's will get a percentage
at no cost to you.
Go to shopwithscrip.com Choose Family Sign Up - Enter 98823AC64L248 as St. Ann's .
Non-Profit code and begin shopping.
These are the current cards we have in stock in the office.
There will be envelopes in the back
of church next weekend or you can
use the envelope in your packet for
donations for Christmas Flowers in
memory of a loved one.
