ear Parishioners and visitors,

This past week, you should have received an important email from St. Ann regarding the possible construction of a new Parish Center at the Our Lady of Guadalupe site. The email included an invitation to share your thoughts, ideas, and questions on the project. Thank you to those of you who have already shared feedback on the project. If you have not done so yet, please take the time to complete the survey using the link in the email or scanning the QR code below. The survey will remain open until this Wednesday, March 25. I am most grateful for your attention and response to this survey. Your input will help us in making good decisions in regard to this project.

If you did not receive the email, that is because we do not have a working email address in our records or you are not currently registered with the parish. To confirm your registration status or update your contact inform- ation, please contact the parish office. If you want to become a registered parishioner, you can do so at the parish office or online on the parish website.

The hope is that this new Parish Center will help us meet the present needs of our parish and community, both now and well into the future. Thank you for all that you do for St. Ann and for our community. May God bless you for your goodness.

Have A Great Bethany Beach Week!
Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!

Prayer for Lent

The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions’ might;
And John, the bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s name.
Then grant us, Lord, like them to be
Full oft in fast and prayer with thee;
Our spirits strengthen with thy grace,
And give us joy to see thy face.
O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
To thee be every prayer addressed,
Who are in threefold name adored,
From age to age, the only Lord.

–Hymn attributed to Pope St. Gregory the Great
