Effective October 1, 2016, the price for lighting a prayer candle in the church or chapel will be $3.00 per

“donation” not an obligation.
“God never closes off horizons; He is never unconcerned about the lives and sufferings of His children.
God never allows Himself to be outdone in generosity.” – Pope Francis
If you or someone in your family is ill, is in the hospital , or is in a nursing home, please let Fr. Tom know
so that he can come and visit.
Volunteeers from St. Ann’s are badly needed to support the St. Ann Teams who deliver Meals to the
needy every Monday. The deliveries begin at 9:00am and are usually completed by
10:30 or 11:00am. (Other church’s volunteers in the Shinnston area deliver on the
remaining days of the week, but Monday is St. Ann’s day to deliver). St. Ann’s
currently has only two full teams and one partial team to cover every Monday’s
deliveries throughout the month. Please consider helping…it is very rewarding, and
is so appreciated by the people who would otherwise have nothing to eat, if you
didn’t bring it to them. Call Mary Ann Ferris at 304-592-2061 if you can help.
If you would like to offer mass intentions for any loved one or friends who have passed
away or for anyone who is seriously ill, please consider doing so. Mass Intention cards
are available on tables at the entrance of the church. Please give the completed card and
stipend to Mary K. in the office or you can place the card and stipend in an envelope
“marked Mass Intention” and drop in the offertory basket at any collection.
