Dear Friend of Annunciation Parish & School,
On October 18th, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of Saint Luke. This is a
very special day, especially in the life of
Annunciation Parish, as it is the Anni-
versary of the Dedication of Annuncia-
tion Church. (Our parish church was
dedicated on October 18, 1931.)
Saint Luke is an Evangelist, or a Gospel
writer. Both the Gospel of Luke and the
Acts of the Apostles are attributed to
Luke. How fitting that our parish church
- the Church of the Annunciation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary - was dedicated on
the Feast of Saint Luke, as it is only in
Luke’s Gospel that we find the story of
the Annunciation. Because Saint Luke,
in his Gospel, tells us stories of Mary
such as the Annunciation and Mary’s Visitation to Elizabeth that we find no where
else in Scripture, tradition says that Saint Luke wrote (or painted) the first icon, or
image, of Mary. Saint Luke is also one of the patron saints of our art classes here at
Annunciation Parish.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sandi Chakeres
Director of Faith Formation

Was Your Pet Blessed Last Week?
Our Annunciation Catho-
lic School students, pre-
school-3rd grade, joined
together to celebrate
Saint Francis of Assisi’s
October 4th feast day.
They started out with
reading a book and hav-
ing a discussion based on
what they had learned about
the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
Then they listened to music
and decorated animal masks
while students went to another
table to receive animal
“tattoos”. After the craft, all prayed the Prayer of St. Fran-
cis together.
Animal Masks!
It’s Happening at
Annunciation!
On October 4, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, we celebrated our annual Blessing of Pets. Parishioners, school fami-
lies, and other neighbors and friends brought their pets for the celebration. You can view all of the photos here.
