Centennial Celebration of the Our Lady of Fatima continuous ...

The visit of the International Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima at our church on February 1st was attended by many parishioners. Our bond as a church community was definitely strengthened by this coming together in prayer. Beginning on May 13th, we will begin to set forth the travel of our very own Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima to our homes, school, and even to hospitals to visit the sick, in celebration of the 100th anniversary. The pilgrimage will continue through October 13th . The Sisters of the Alliance of the Holy Family International will be with us for praying the rosary, scripture readings and the consecration of our homes to the two hearts of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary. If you are interested in having your home blessed and consecrated at the same time and have the statue of Our Lady of Fatima for a brief stay at your home for a day or two, please sign up in the Gathering Space after Masses beginning this weekend.

St. Joseph’s in Huntsville is hosting the Community Catholic Easter Sunrise Mass at 6:00 AM on the Monte Sano lookout located down from the park. All are welcome!

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY April 23

rd 3:00-4:00 PM

On September 24, 1939, Jesus told St. Faustina: “My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I de-sire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who ap-proach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete for-giveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fath-om it throughout all eternity. Everything that exists has come forth from the very depths of My most tender mercy. Every soul in its relation to Me will contemplate My love and mercy throughout eternity. The Feast of Mercy emerged from My very depths. of tenderness. It is My desire that it be sol-emnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.” 699

DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA, Abril 23, de 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.

En Septiembre 24, 1939, Jesús le dijo a Santa Faustina, “Mi hija, dile al mundo entero sobre mi inimaginable Misericordia. Deseo que la Fiesta de Misericordia sea un refugio y abrigo para todas las almas, especialmente para los pobres pecadores. En ese día las profundidades de mi tierna Misericordia estarán abiertas. Derramo un océano de Gracias sobre las almas que se acercan a la fuente de mi Misericordia. El alma que vaya a la confesión y reciba la Sagrada Comunión, obtendrá perdón completo de sus pecados y castigos. En ese día la corriente Divina por la cual fluye la Gracia será abierta. Que ninguna alma tenga miedo de acercarse a mí, aunque sus pecados sean vergonzosos. Mi Misericordia es tan grande, que ningún hombre o Angel, la podrá entender durante toda la eternidad. La Fiesta de la Misericordia, emergió de las profundidades de mi ternura. Es mi deseo que sea celebrada Solemnemente en el primer domingo después de pascua. La hu-manidad no tendrá paz hasta que regrese a la fuente de mi misericordia.” 699

Saint Ann School Annual Appeal 2017

To have the opportunity to attend a Catholic school is a privilege we are proud to offer at Annunciation of the Lord parish. We are hopeful and excited about the opportunities and challenges before us.

In order to provide the students, staff, and faculty of St. Ann Catholic School with the best opportunities to succeed, we are asking you to join with us in the St. Ann School Annual Appeal campaign in reaching our goal to raise $70,000 this year. Please prayerfully consider giving a gift to this worthy ministry. . Every gift given to the school supports our commission to proclaim the good news with joy.

We wish to match this amount as we did as we reach toward our goal of $70,000. Let’s pull together once again as our parish always has to meet this challenge for the benefit of our children. Whatever amount you choose to give will be a blessing to the school. Your gift to St. Ann Catholic School is tax deductible. Please make all checks payable to St. Ann’s Educational Foundation. Funds given to this collection will qualify for St. Ann Society Circle acknowledgement:

The Lord is risen! As Christ's disciples, we are called to go forth and spread the good news of His Resurrection. Our parish's many ministries are examples of how many of you answer that call. Our ministries require not only gifts of time and talent, but also of financial help. Please prayerfully consider supporting Annunciation of the Lord Church with electronic donations through Faith Direct.

Thank you for your continued support of our parish family!

Stewardship

Today we recreate the welcome into Jerusalem of Jesus, the Lord and Savior. It is easy to be enthusiastic, even to be carried away briefly with that enthusiasm. It is much harder to sustain enthusiasm, because that means giving of ourselves.

Cuidemos a nuestros niños (Protección de menores)

Por favor pedimos a los padres de familia que estén pendientes de sus hijos en el estacionamiento, a la hora de la Santa Misa y durante la Misa. Mantengan a sus hijos bajo su supervisión, no dejen que sus niños vayan solos al baño, no permita que se queden jugando en los pasillos o en la pila Bautismal. Ustedes son responsables de sus hijos. Evitemos un accidente.

Ayude a mantener limpios nuestros baños, no deje que sus hijos jueguen, con el jabón, con el agua, papel de baño o papel toalla, lo tiran al piso y queda muy sucio.

Si tiene intenciones de misas, por favor anótelas por lo menos 5 minutos antes de la misa. Se anunciarán antes del comienzo de la misa. Los anunciamos antes para que una vez que comience la misa, podamos entrar en el tiempo y los ritmos sagrados de la misa. También, sepa por favor que sus intenciones de la misa son siempre buenas. Y si no se lee en voz alta antes de la misa por alguna razón, por favor, sepa que la misa todavía se ofrece para esas intenciones.
