Saints Anne & Joachim
Each year the Church venerates the memory of Saints
Anne & Joachim on July 26th. An ancient story dating to
the first centuries of the Church’s life recalls how Saints
Anne & Joachim, like Abraham and Sarah, were scorned
by their neighbors because they had no children.
Years of longing did not weaken their trust in God, but
grief eventually drove Saint Joachim into the wilderness to
fast and pray. Saint Anne, remaining at home, dressed in
mourning clothes and wept because she had no child of her
own. Seeing her mistress distressed, a servant girl
reminded Anne to put her trust in God. Saint Anne washed
her face, put on her bridal clothes and went to a garden to
plead with God for a child.
Angels appeared to Saint Anne in her garden and Saint
Joachim in the desert, promising that, despite their old age,
they would give birth to a child who would be known
throughout the world. The new parents ran to meet one
another at Jerusalem’s Golden Gate, and with a kiss
rejoiced in the new life which God had promised would be
theirs.
Saints Anne and Joachim are powerful intercessors for all
married couples, expectant mothers and married couples
who are having difficulty conceiving, as well as all who
have grown old.

Rediscover Your Marriage
Retrouvaille simply means “rediscovery”. The
program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your
spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage.
Countless couples headed for divorce have
successfully saved their marriages by attending.
Retrouvaille is not a spiritual retreat, not a sensitivity
group, not a seminar, not a social gathering. While
each couple is asked to make an anonymous donation
to help cover the cost of the program, no couple is
ever denied the chance to heal and renew their
marriage because of lack of funds. For confidential
information about or to register for the program
beginning with a weekend on July 31-August 2, call
317-489-6811 or email: register@retroindy.com or
visit the web site at www.helpourmarriage.com

Question of the Week for the 17th Sunday in
Ordinary Time:
Question for Children: How do you share with
others what you have?
Question for Youth: Generosity is key to today’s
Gospel. What do you have that you should be sharing
with others? Think of your possessions, your talents,
and your time. How can you use these for the good of
others?
Question for Adults: In what ways do you
generously provide for the needs of others who have
little or nothing?
