ear Parishioners and Visitors,

I cordially invite you to attend the Prayer Service for the Jubilee Year of Hope. Last year Pope Francis proclaimed 2025 Holy Year to remind us that we are a people of hope. Hope in Jesus Christ who suffered died and rose for us. Let us come together as a family of hope on Wednesday February 12 at 4:00PM in St. Ann Church. I look forward to seeing many of you there.

I invite you to mark your calendars for Sunday May 4 at 3:30PM here at St. Ann. I invite you to join me when the weather will be much warmer to celebrate my 40th Anniversary. Mass will be celebrated followed by a reception in Delaney Hall. Mark your calendars today.

Lastly the kitchen renovations are proceeding nicely in Delaney Hall. I am excited to see the finished product. I know it will be a great asset to our parish with more space and updated equipment. Can’t wait to have it used for the first time.


Jubilee Prayer


Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son,
Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in
our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the
seeds of the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth, when,
with the powers of
Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us,
Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace
spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To You our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise
forever. Amen.

Amen.
