Jubilee of Mercy there will be a Holy Year of Mercy. Also he has decreed that in
each diocesan cathedral there is to be a Holy Door of Mercy just as there will be in
St. Peter's and other basilicas of Rome. So, here in St. Paul on Monday, December
7 at 7 pm with a Vatican-provided "Rite of the Opening of the Door of Mercy", and a
solemn Mass concelebrated by our priests and with as many parishioners who are
able to attend, we shall open our Holy door and inaugurate the Jubilee of Mercy in
the St. Paul Diocese. Sign-up sheets are at the entrance to the church and hall if
people want to car pool.

We, the members of St. Anne’s Parish, Barrhead believe and accept Jesus Christ as our saviour and share in the continued ministry of the Catholic
Church, in St. Paul Diocese, by partaking in the threefold dimension of kingly, prophetic and priestly ministries of Christ through our baptism.
Following the example of St. Anne in utmost humility and gathered around the Eucharistic table, we will imbibe the Spirit of sharing and service to
our parish community and to our fellow human beings.
Being led by the Holy Spirit, we will deepen our faith through prayer and nourish it through sacraments. As one family of faith, we will volunteer our
time and energy for the greater glory of God, in our parish and in general in our community.
