Welcome, Fr. Brian O’Shaughnessy
This weekend, we welcome a new Parochial Vicar to
St. Anne Catholic Church: Fr. Brian O’Shaughnessy!
Fr. Brian was ordained to the priesthood on June 4, 2016

Upon his graduation from high school, Fr. Brian enlisted in
the U.S. Marine Corps where he served in the infantry for
four years. After completion of his military service, Fr. Brian
enrolled in the University of North Carolina at Wilmington,
earning a B.S. in Geology, with a minor in Mathematics. He

Spotlight on Stewardship June 26, 2016 Stewardship Reflection
“For you were called to freedom, brothers and
sisters. But do not use this freedom as an
opportunity for the flesh; rather serve one another
through love.” (Galatians 5:13)
We like to celebrate the fact that we are free to “live
the good life.” But Jesus calls us to a different kind of
freedom. St. Paul reminds us that Jesus sets us free
so that we can serve one another, share our gifts and
promote God’s work here on earth to glorify His name
and not honor ourselves.
Ministry Spotlight Eucharistic Ministers to the Sick and Homebound
Many people are unable to attend Mass on a regular
basis due to illness or being homebound. At St. Anne
Church, we have Eucharistic Ministers who volunteer
to bring Communion to the sick and homebound.
These ministers fulfill an important need for our
parish by taking Communion and the Word of God
weekly or monthly to those who are recovering from
illness, who are homebound due to disability, or to
permanent residents in area nursing homes. All
parishioners over 18, who are in sacramental union
with the Church and who have been a member of the
parish for at least one year, are welcome to volunteer
for this ministry; however, special training is required.
If you are interested in serving, please contact
Yvonne Russell at [email protected] .

forever.

fabulous!
