Creo, Jesús mío, que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas, y deseo recibirte en mi alma.

Yo me abrazo y uno enteramente a Ti; No permitas jamás que me separe de Tí. Amén.

St. Ann School is in the middle of its Annual Appeal. Our goal this year is $60,000. To date we have raised
$12,081 (20%) even with the current health crisis. All proceeds go to benefit the school.
To contribute you can: Mail in a contribution c/o Annunciation of the Lord Church; 3910 Spring Avenue SW; Decatur, AL 35603 Use one of the envelopes found in the church pews and select your donation to St. Ann’s Educational
Foundation.
Go to http://giving.parishsoft.com/annunlord and choose St. Ann’s Educational Foundation as the Fund.
DID YOU KNOW??? St. Ann’s Educational Foundation and our Parish provide vital financial support to St. Ann School. On average, Alabama public schools receive about $9,425 of federal and state funds per student. St. Ann School receives less than $250 per student from federal and state funds including scholarships.
To have the opportunity to attend a Catholic school is a privilege we are proud to offer at Annunciation of the Lord Parish and St. Ann School. Unlike public schools where there is no discussion about God and moral truths, this is the foundation of our school. Our students are steps away from the Eucharist and the Tabernacle, and worship God freely.
How are you helping the parish support this important ministry? We understand that your home budgets are tight. Please know we appreciate any and all contributions. A big thank you to those parishioners who have already made a contribution!

A Mother’s Love A Prayer of Our Lady of Fatima
We praise you, Lord, and bless you, For in a time of horrific war and pandemic plague, You sent us your mother, Our Lady of Fatima. We sing praises to you, For even in times of sorrow and fear The Earth is still touched by one such as she. And we are reminded, Knowing that whatever war visits itself upon us, Whatever deprivations, Whatever want, Whatever illness, Whatever calamity endured by humankind That may cause us to look to the sky and despair, That your children do not toil in this world apart from your grace, that our prayers are not unheard And we do not go forth without a mother’s love. Keep us devoted to you, O Lord, Devoted in our prayer, our words and our acts, That all souls in this world may know your compassion, peace and mercy, That all souls who have departed this world may find salvation. Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco, prayer for us. Our Lady of Fatima, prayer for us. Amen.
El amor de una Madre una oración de Nuestra Señora de Fátima
Te alabamos, Señor, y te bendecimos, porque en una época de guerra horrible y plaga pandémica nos enviaste a tue madre, Nuestra Señora de Fátima.
Te cantamos alabanzas ya que incluso en tiempos de dolor y temor la tierra sigue siendo motivada por una tal como ella. Y se nos recuerda sabiendo que cualquier guerracque nos pudiera afectar, cualesquiera que sean las privaciones, cualquier necesidad, cualquier enfermedad, cualquier calamidad sufrida por la humanidad que pueda hacernos mira al cielo en desesperación, qu tus hijos no trabajen en este mundo lejos de tu gracia, que nuestras oraciones no sean inauditas y no salimos aldelante sin en amor de una madre
Manténnos consagrados a ti, oh Señor. Devotos en nuestra oración, nuestras palabras y nuestros actos. Que todas las almas en este mundo puedan conocer tu compasión, paz y misericordia. Que todas las almas que han partido de este mundo puedan encontrar la salvación. Lucía, Jacinta y Franciso, ruguen por nosotros. Nuestra Señora de Fátima, ruega por nosotros. Amén.

Stewardship A stone by itself does not serve much purpose. With other stones it can make a sturdy wall, or even a castle. St. Peter says that we are like living stones built into a spiritual house. Two months of isolation should make us feel the need of our spiritual community and waiting to be gathered again.
