CONFIRMATION RETREAT THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20 4:45 - 9:00
Welcome to St. Anne's Parish!
We are a Catholic Christian community rich in a tradition of giving and caring for its Church and its people. Through the course of each year, hundreds of parishioners volunteer their time and talents for the many special events and celebrations within our Parish. In addition, many of our parishioners are active on an ongoing basis in the ministries we see and experience every week as well as in those ministries that are not so outwardly visible.
2 Corinthians 9:6 "Whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."
Advent is the time of promise; it is not yet the time of fulfillment. We are still in the midst of everything and in the logical inexorability and relentlessness of destiny.…Space is still filled with the noise of destruction and annihilation, the shouts of self-assurance and arrogance, the weeping of despair and helplessness. But round about the horizon the eternal realities stand silent in their age-old longing. There shines on them already the first mild light of the radiant fulfillment to come. From afar sound the first notes as of pipes and voices, not yet discernible as a song or melody. It is all far off still, and only just announced and foretold. But it is happening, today.
