Mrs. Kile announcing the pick-up date and time.

On Tuesday, November 26th

the students will be treated to a soft pretzel snack for their awesome

participation in the Walkathon.

Don’t Forget to Attend Mass This Weekend Salvation history tells us that even before he was born, Jesus was called a “king”. The prophets

foretold that a newborn king would come and save the people. This didn’t sit too well with King

Herod and we know that he searched for this new ‘king’ because he didn’t want any competition.

Herod was a king who loved his power and authority. He made sure everyone knew just how

important he was. Jesus knew who he was and from whom he came. Jesus, the very Son of God,

did NOT use his power to harm or overwhelm people. He used all that he possessed to love

others, to bring healing to those who were sick, to give guidance to those who were lost, to give

LIFE to all who would have it. We have all read the beautiful stories of Jesus’ life in the gospels.

We know that men, women and children had their lives changed forever after encountering him.

We know the great love Jesus had for everyone he came in contact with ~ even those who

challenged him because he lived the will of his Father. This is the King we honor this coming

Sunday. This great feast day in the Church brings the Liturgical Year to a close. Throughout this

year we have heard the stories that are so much a part of our faith journey. We have heard the

words of Jesus inviting us to walk more closely with him ~ to love more compassionately as he

loves us ~ to forgive others and seek reconciliation so that we can truly serve God and our

brothers and sisters. Christ our King calls us to live our lives in such a way that nothing from

within this world can cause us to stumble or become unfocused as we walk the path of life. We

are called by HIS Father, we are chosen by HIS Father to live good and holy lives. Christ is not a

King to be feared or avoided. He is “our” King who is to be loved and trusted and followed. He

gives us all we need for a holy and wholesome life. He gives us the strength we need to face

life’s challenges. He gives us his very self in the Eucharist that we might be nourished. He gave

his life for us that we might have life eternal.

Prayers

Please continue to pray for all our St. Ann families, especially the families of Rocco & Charlie

Gasper, Camilla Geoghegan, Anand George, Adaliz, Tryztan & Zaylan Gibson, Keira Gilboy,

Margaret Gill, and Brett & Darren Gingrich for whom we are praying for this week. We also ask

that you keep Mrs. Bucha in your prayers.

Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving Holiday. School will be closed from Wednesday,

November 27th

through Monday, December 2nd

. School reopens on December 3rd
