YEAR OF JUBILEE – PILGRIMS OF HOPE – Every church in the diocese will be open for a period of time on a certain day during the first week of each month. The intention will be to offer an additional opportunity for confessions and adoration during that time period in at least one of the parishes that fall under the care of each pastor/administrator. This will give the faithful throughout the diocese the opportunity to make “pilgrimage” to any and all of the parishes in the diocese, in keeping with the theme of the Jubilee: “Pilgrims of Hope.” Here at St. Anne Church we will have adoration and confession available on the First Friday of Each Month. The schedule will be:
First Friday of each month:
Confession: 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament: 7:00 AM to 7:45 AM
Daily Mass: 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM
Coffee and sweets in the social hall: 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM
Adoration: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM ****Please note: we would like to have adoration until 6:00 PM, but will need to fill these time slots 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm and 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. If your would like to sign up, please contact Regina Civitello at 724-984-1063
As it is necessary to have at least one person present when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration, we are looking for volunteers who would like to join the new ministry. Anyone interested in spending a prayerful hour with Our Lord, please contact Regina Civitello at 724-984-1063 for further details.

CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES (CRS) – Meet Jorgina. She works for our partner, Red Cross, in Timor Leste. She supports adolescent girls and young women by teaching them about the importance of proper nutrition, helping to reduce malnutrition.
“From the nutritional information provided to the students, when they go home they share it with their parents. This helps them understand about nutritious food and so they try to consume it at home. Some changes in families are they’ve started to cook breakfast based on the three groups of food, such as in the morning they not only consume bread, but also cassava, sweet potatoes or taro (root).” ~ Jorgina.
