SAINT ANNE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH BRISTOL, VIRGINIA May 29, 2016
Remember St. Anne’s in your Will and Trusts
Today gives us an opportunity to reflect on our celebration
of the Eucharist in a way that we may not have time for on
Holy Thursday. This action is central to who we are as
Christians. It defines us and builds up the Church as the
body of Christ in the world so that we can continue Jesus’
mission on earth. Let us enter into this celebration giving
praise and thanks to God for so great a gift.
Readings for this Week (May 30—June 4)
Monday: 2 Peter 1:2-7; Mark 12:1-12
Tuesday: Zeph. 3:14-18a

Scripture for next Sunday (10th Sunday/Ordinary Time)
1 Kings 17:17-24
See! Your son is alive.
Galatians 1:11-19
God revealed the Son to me,
So that I might proclaim him to the Gentiles.
Luke 7:11-17
Young man, I tell you, arise!
As we listen to God’s Holy Word next Sunday, we will
notice that not only are two young men brought back to life;
their widowed mothers, threatened with destitution, have
had their sons and their own lives restored Such is the
graciousness of God that each gift has repercussions that
extend like ripples out into the world. Let us be mindful of
all of God’s gifts, and how they resonate throughout all of
life.

Monthly Papal Intentions for June To better know “the concrete
problems that trouble the
Universal Church, especially those of the missions,” the
Holy Father asks that his monthly intentions be “the object
of knowledgeable and responsible prayer on the part of the
people of God.”
Universal Intention: That the aged, marginalized, and those
who have no one may find, even within the huge cities of
the world, opportunities for encounter and solidarity.
Intention for Evangelization: That seminarians and men
and women entering religious life may have mentors who
live the joy of the Gospel and prepare them wisely for their
mission.
PRAY FOR VOCATIONS! “We boast in our hope of sharing the glory
of God.”
How do you hope to share in God’s glory… as a priest,
deacon, or in the consecrated life? Call Father Michel
Boehling, Vicar for Vocations at 804-359-5661 or email
[email protected].

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
“Feed a Hungry Kid” Project In January 2016, the Virginia Middle
School Alternative
Program lost its weekend backpack sponsor, leaving
children in that program in danger of having insufficient
food for the weekends. St. Anne’s stepped in and we now
provide each child in that program with a weekly backpack
that contains enough easy to prepare or ready to eat food
for
the weekend. Won’t you please help us to continue helping
these children? St. Anne’s Social Ministry Committee is
raising money to continue to provide food backpacks for
these children. Your $10 donation will help us stock these
backpacks. Plan to stop by the TABLE in the Hallway by
the Great Room on the weekend of June 4/5 to make your
$10 donation. THANK YOU!!
God’s abundant blessings and our best wishes to
Johanna Morales & Curtis Montgomery
who were married here at St. Anne’s this weekend.
May they know of our prayers as they begin
their lives together in Christ.
Living Our Mission…Thank you to all who have generously
responded to the Living Our Mission Campaign.
As this bulletin goes to press, we are very close to making
our goal in pledges. Please consider making a pledge to this
campaign which will be of great benefit not only to our
diocese, but also to our parish in the years to come. If you
misplaced your pledge card, there are some available in the
commons. You can place your completed pledge card in the
Living Our Mission basket, which will be in the commons
through June. Thank you!
