ear Parishioners and visitors,

This is a very exciting time, as well as a very busy time for our parish. We are preparing to launch a Capital Campaign to put our parish on solid ground for many years to come. We are building not just for today or even for tomorrow. We are building for many years down the road. Just as those who came before us left us a very solid foundation of faith and service, so we too want to do the same. Those who came before us left us a strong faith, a strong sense of community, and a strong sense of service.


Out of the sand was built the Parish of St. Ann and our mission church, Our Lady of Guadalupe. Now is the time, our time, to strengthen our community in faith, hope, love, joy, reconciliation, and service, so that well into the future St. Ann Parish will be a strong beacon of the Light, which is Christ.

My hope is that, working and praying together as one family united in faith, hope, and love, we can do great things for God. Remember that each one of us can make a difference. Each one of us can help build God’s kingdom, giving freely of our time, talent, and treasure. I know that I can count on each one of you to do your part so that we can all GROW IN FAITH, BUILD HIS KINGDSOM, and SERVE HIS PEOPLE. Again, I invite us all to pray our Campaign Prayer every day, so that our campaign will be a great success, and that Christ’s Light will shine brightly through our parish for many years to come.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to the wonderful cooks from our Spanish community. They have cooked two wonderful meals and sold them, with the proceeds going towards our Capital Campaign to build our new Parish Center at Our Lady of Guadalupe site. The office staff have enjoyed a great lunch on the two Mondays following the sales. We are looking forward to the next one with great anticipation.

We welcome Bishop Jerome Feudjio from the Virgin Islands who is with us this weekend for his annual mission appeal. Please keep the Dlocese of St. Thomas in your prayers and respond generously to their appeal.

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

Campaign Prayer

Giver of all good things, with grateful hearts we humbly ask You
 to send forth Your Spirit upon us that we may
come together as one community of believers.

Open our hearts to be immensely generous with all You have given us,
so that we may build our new Parish Center
and renovate our beloved St. Ann Church.

Unite us as one community of faith,
given to the common purpose of praising and serving You
through our ministries, our worship, and
our support of our neighbors in need.

Grant us the fortitude and sacrificial love of our patron, St. Ann,
and our much loved Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Let us Grow in Faith, Build His Kingdom, and Serve His People.

This we ask through Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
