Saint Ann Catholic Church

A Note From Fr. Danny

We continue to be blessed with seminarians in our

diocese. On Saturday, May 19, five of our

seminarians were ordained transitional deacons, in

hopes of being ordained priests next summer. On

June 2, three men will be ordained priests. Please

keep them all in your prayers.

We also will have another seminarian with us this

summer! His name is Patrick Walsh, and he just

completed his second year of formation at St.

Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore (my

seminary alma mater). He graduated from the

University of Richmond and worked in youth

ministry at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Newport

News, his home parish, before entering

seminary. He will arrive in early June, so please

welcome him and offer him your world-famous St.

Ann hospitality.

Let us pray for each other,
