From the Pastors Desk: 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear Sisters and Brothers, What a change in the outlook of our church, how poor it looks now after beautiful Christmas Season. That is change to Ordinary Time, the normal time, daily, regular. Church looks empty, simple and as if something was missing, but soon we will get accustomed to it and it will be normal again. That external change should remind us how special Christmas was, not because of decorations, but because of Christ who enlightened our world and hopefully our hearts. So the wonder that we perceived in our hearts should stay there and continue to enrich our lives. The attitude that we have in our hearts and minds depends on us, depends on what we allow to influence our lives. So if we have Christmas or winter in our hearts it depends on us, let's choose to keep the joy of Christmas for the rest of the year. Christ was born to stay with us forever. Let's stay forever with Him in comfort and joy that he brought to our lives. With that change of seasons I want to thank all those who again came and volunteered to take down the decorations and to clean the church. It took a good deal of work and time to accomplish that. Thank You !!! Thank You !!! In the last weeks Gospel we had John the Baptist point to us ; "Behold the Lamb of God " and as the disciples followed him, he continues to call them and to teach them to be the "fisher of men" for the Kingdom of God. This is what the season of Christmas should inspire in us- that desire to follow Jesus, whom we have recognized with the three Wise Men as: our Lord and God "Emmanuel ", as our Eternal Priest offering himself in love for us, and as a True Prophet announcing to us his salvation for the whole world. Did we get it ??? Did it make a difference for us ??? Let us than be disciples who follow Jesus, who learn what it takes to be "fishers of men " , taking the Good News to others after it transformed our lives. Now we are in a particular moment of our history as a country and as a Diocese. We just inaugurated our new president, who made many promises of making our country a better place to live, so let us pray that he be true to those promises, doing what is good for our country. Than on January 31st we will inaugurate our new Bishop leading our Diocese into the new times. Let us open ourselves to come to know more about who he is by reading more about his life and faith, as we can easily find it on the internet on YouTube called "Journey Home " interview on EWTN catholic television network, where he speaks about the history of his family, his parents Congregational Ministers, converting to Catholicism. His father wrote a book "One Shepherd One Flock " describing their conversion n 1955. To come to know our new Bishop, we should see that interview and read the book, to know who he is and how great witnesses his family is, to the Gospel. What a family history to be offered to us, as an inspiration and evangelization example. Let us pray for our new Bishop, that he will lead us into a better future, closer to God and to every human being. I placed those links to Bishop Barres story on our St Anne's Facebook page, and we will post them on our website front page also. God bless you !!!!! God bless America !!!! God bless everyone !!!! Fr. Stan P. S. As I encourage participation in our Saint Valentines Raffle I want to give it a parish purpose, to offset the winter costs of snow removal. Every time it snows we need to deal with it as we can't let it freeze and threaten our safety. But every week-end it snows it causes us to loose some collection monies because less people come to church and than we have to pay for snow removal. So we get hit twice. The three snowfalls that we had costed us: $ 1300 ; $ 2960 and $ 850 , and I'm sure that it is not it for the snow this winter. Than our collection was short of thousands of dollars because of low attendance on snow weekends. So the Parish Raffle is some fun way of making up for the winter expenses that we have to deal with. Thank You for your understanding and cooperation with participation. God bless you always !!! Fr. Stan

When the song of the angels is over:

When the star in the sky is gone;

When kings and princes are home;

When shepherds are back with their fold;

Then, the work of Christmas begins;

to find the lost,

to heal the broken,

to feed the hungry,

to rescue the prisoners,

to bring peace among all,

to make music in the heart.

MEGA RAFFLE II Our Parish is, once again, undertaking a Fund-Raising Raffle, much like the Raffle we held last summer. There will only be 300 tickets sold, each at a pr ice of $100.00 each. If we sell all 300 tickets, the pr izes will be: 1st Prize - $10,000.00 4th Prize - $500.00 2nd Prize - $ 2,000.00 5th Prize - $500.00 3rd Prize - $ 1,000.00 6th Prize - $500.00

The seller of the winning ticket will be awarded $500.00.

The drawing will be held at the Parish Valentine’s Dance on Saturday, February 11, 2017. The winners need not be

present, but tickets for the dance are now on sale.

Should a lesser number of tickets be sold, the prizes will be prorated on a 50/50 basis—50% of the tickets sales to the winning numbers, and 50% to St. Anne’s Parish. Since there were many people who were unable to participate in the last MEGA RAFFLE, because all the tickets had been sold, we would suggest that you purchase your tickets at your

earliest convenience.

Etre en communion avec le Christ dans son Eglise.

Chaque fois que nous nous rassemblons a la table du Seigneur, nous sommes en communion avec tous ceux qui, en tout lieu, invoquent le nom de Jesus Christ. Chaque fois que des chrétiens se rassemblent en équipe, dans une communauté de base, en assemblée eucharistique, ils sont l'église de Dieu. Non pas une secte, non pas des gens que réunit une même idéologie, un meme milieu de vie ou des options politiques semblables, mais des hommes te des femmes que Dieu appelle a être son peuple. Aussi toute réunion de Chrétiens qui se veut Eglise dit-elle se vouloir en communion avec tous ceux qui, en tout lieu, se réclament de Jésus-Christ comme leur Seigneur; elle doit aussi chercher a correspondre toujours mieux a l'appel a la sainteté que Dieu lui adresse. Sinon, ce groupe ne serait pas l'Eglise du Christ une et sainte, catholique, c'est-a-dire universelle, et fondée sur les apôtres.
