When the song of the angels is stilled,

when the star in the sky is gone,

when the kings and princes are home,

when the shepherds are back with their flocks,

the work of Christmas begins:

to find the lost,

to heal the broken,

to feed the hungry,

to release the prisoner,

to rebuild the nations,

to bring peace among the people,

to make music in the heart. -- Howard Thurman

A Family Epiphany Prayer

Father: Christ has appeared among us.

All: Come, let us adore Him.

Mother: The precious gifts which the Magi brought to the Lord this day are threefold, and they are signs of divine mysteries. By gold the power of the King is signified, by frankincense His great priesthood, by myrrh the burial of the Lord.

All: The Magi worshipped the Author of our salvation in the crib, and of their treasures they brought to Him gifts of mystic nature.

Youngest Child: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

All: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Father: Let us pray. O God, by the leading of a star you manifested Your only begotten Son to the Gentiles on this day; mercifully grant that we who know You by faith, may be brought to contemplate the beauty of Your majesty. Through the same Jesus Christ Your Son.

All: Alleluia.

Saint Ann School News The 3

rd Grade Class finished the year with a Christmas writing workshop to prepare them for

creating and publishing their classroom book by Student Treasures. The book will be a celebration of the 2018 Year of Youth, as declared by Pope Francis. Each student will complete two writing assignments on the Theological or Cardinal Virtues, accompanied by pictures of the student performing good acts in congruence with the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI from his book The Virtues. These books will be completed by February 23

rd for a release date before Easter. Thank

you for supporting our lovely school.

Breaking Bread is the name the early Followers of Jesus gave to the celebration we now call the Mass. The Mass is at the heart of the Church’s life. It can therefore be at the heart of our lives. We can make it more meaningful to our journey of faith by understanding its roots to the Seder, Jesus’ dynamic changes He made to it which gave a deeper spiritual and infinite meaning to the celebration. The Mass can transcend all of us to a level of understanding, emotion, and personal spirituality that gives us an awareness of the Divine Presence and a peace that the world cannot give. “Come and See.” Jn. 1:39

Tuesday evenings beginning January 16 @ 6:30 PM and continues on January 23, 30, & February 6

All are welcome from juniors in high school through the wisest among us.

If you are thinking about purchasing a gift card as a Birthday present, a Thank You, etc. please check out our SCRIP table. Instead of a merchant selling gift cards and making a profit - let St. Ann School sell you the same gift card and make the profit. SCRIP cards are gift cards - what you pay for them is what they are worth - BUT St. Ann School makes a profit of a certain percent of the face value depending on the card.

Scrip profits were $313.78 last week! Thank you so much! SCRIP gift cards help support our school with just a little bit of effort on your part. Scrip coverage may be limited this weekend due to family Christmases and travel. Scrip is available in the Parish Office during regular business hours. See us after Masses in the Gathering Space and in the Parish Office during the week.
