In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us, “I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep.”
Everyone is welcomed to the flock by Jesus. We too, must act faithfully to reach out to all individuals, especially those who feel neglected or abandoned. As Jesus committed His life to being the “one shepherd”, we too must commit ourselves as Catholics, to providing service to all.
There are several diocesan ministries and programs that offer help for those who feel estranged and marginalized by society. As baptized Christians, it is our shared responsibility to respond to Jesus’ command to love and serve one another.
The Annual Catholic Appeal provides financial support for a wide range of spiritual, pastoral, and educational services that assist not only the poor and suffering, but anyone who seeks assistance regardless of age, race or social class. Many thanks to those who have responded to the 2021 Annual Catholic Appeal your generosity is deeply appreciated.

To help offset the financial loss that our parish has had, the Bazaar Fundraising Committee is sponsoring a new virtual On-line Sale and Auction. 100% of proceeds to benefit the Parish of St Ann
WHAT IS A VIRTUAL AUCTION?
A virtual auction is an online version of a traditional, in-person auction with the main difference being that it will be ongoing, new items posted as they become available. Each item will list a description, opening bid amount, bidding dollar increments, and closing date with time; listings will be on the “Virtual Fundraiser at the Parish of St Ann” Facebook page. Each new bid posted will be visible for all to see.
Consider donating home décor, gift certificates, adult spirits, baskets, services, any new or gently used items that are in excellent condition. Each donation must be submitted for approval by emailing a photo, if possible, with a description of your item(s) to parishofstannbazaar@gmail.com or call 410-790-7669. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to supporting our parish!
St. Ann’s Gift Shop will reopen on Monday, April 19, 2021. The new hours are: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday from 9 to 10 am. Sunday after the 7:30 am Mass for 1 hour.
