- We will not be celebrating Mass on Saturday, July 22, 2017 at St. Ann's due to no available priest. Please visit another church to celebrate God's word. We welcome you back the following week.
- Thank you to everyone who helped pick up branches around the church premises after Mass today. Your service and help reflects the power of following in God's footsteps outside of Mass.
- St. Ann's Oratory is in great need of a housekeeping and landscaping committee that will manage the maintenance operations of the Church. This committee will need to research, contact, schedule, and present a budget for a landscaping service to Fr. Francis at St. Joseph as soon as possible. Also, this committee will be in charge of cleaning and day-to-day operations including dusting, vacuuming, and general housekeeping. As St. Ann's belongs to all of us, we must come together to maintain a clean and inviting space for all of us to share and gather in. We understand that busy schedules and other obstacles present challenges to all, but the more of us that come together to offer whatever assistance that we can, the faster and easier these tasks will be accomplished. As the saying goes, "a little goes a long way", and in God's eyes, no matter how small the service, all good deeds will be rewarded in His kingdom.
- On Saturday, June 24th, Father Francis would like to meet with the Board of Trustees of St. Ann's and whomever else would like to attend to share concerns, ideas, and thoughts. This will take place following the 4:00 p.m. Mass.
- We are in need of Mass Stipends/Intentions ($10.00 per intention). Please give to Father Francis or mail to PO Box 310, Adams, WI 53910.
- If you or others you know would be willing to help volunteer at St. Ann's (yard work, etc.), please contact us. Our church would greatly appreciate your stewardship.
- This Saturday, May 27, 2017, we will hold a special Memorial Day Mass outdoors, if the weather permits. In case of inclement weather, Mass will be held indoors as usual.
- For those members of St. Ann's who have offered to help with various ministries, such as opening and closing the church on Saturday afternoon, reading (serving when necessary), ushers and the like, there is a new schedule in the sacristy that runs April through August, 2017. Please pick up a copy of the schedule along with a Contact List.
- Please update your address and phone number on the CONTACT INFORMATION UPDATE SHEET also in the sacristy. We have had many changes take place at St. Ann's in the past several months and it would be most helpful to have this information.
- Per the flyer that was included with the bulletin a couple of weeks ago, we are still in great need of help with various ministries here at St. Ann's Oratory. Please contact Barb Senes at 608-335-0197 if you can assist with any of these ministries.
