ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD PARISH ORGANIZATIONS

COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN

The Council of Catholic Women (CCW) extends a warm invitation to all ladies of the parish to be a part of our organization. We serve the parish in a variety of ways, both spiritual and practical. Our areas of service include:

  • Organizing and serving bereavement meals following funerals for parish families.
  • Providing for the care and cleaning of the church sanctuary and the decoration of the church.
  • Sponsoring an annual "Wisdom Years".
  • Preparing gift baskets for shut-ins.
  • Assisting with the annual RCIA breakfast.
  • Sponsoring an annual Mother/Daughter breakfast.

    Monthly meetings take place September through May. There are devotionals, informative programs, guest speakers at meetings, as well as the business meeting.

    We hope you will join us on this journey of faith using our time, talent and treasures to benefit our parish life.

    • CURSILLO/ULTREYA

    Cursillo is a world-wide movement of the Catholic Church that began in Spain in the 1940s. The goal of Cursillo is to make Christian community possible in all places and areas in which we live our lives. The Cursillo experience starts with a 3-day retreat. After the retreat, members of Cursillo meet on a regular basis in small groups to share their personal experience of living out their individual vocations

    Ultreya is a monthly meeting for those who have experienced a Cursillo weekend. We come together to share our faith experiences by sharing the value of individual group reunions and to strengthen our walk with Christ through the Cursillo Community. During Ultreya, we share prayer, song, a personal witness, Christian fellowship and, whenever possible, spiritual direction.

    FAMILY ENRICHMENT

    The Family Enrichment group was formed to help families grow in their faith. They sponsor several family events and the Wonderful Wednesday adult spirituality sessions.

    FIFTY PLUS CLUB

    The 50+ Club orginated in May of 1976. The club meets monthly from September through May. Meetings consist of a small devotional service followed by a covered dish dinner prepared by members. Each year at the Club's holiday dinner, the children from St. Ann School's first grade entertain members.

    GIFT SHOP

    The Gift Shop is located by the parish office and is open after the weekend Masses. Among the items that we carry are: Bibles, Catechisms, Prayer Books, Rosaries, Medals, Key Chains, Children's Gifts and other religious articles.

    ROSARY GROUP

    The Rosary Groups meets weekly in the chapel where they join together in praying the rosary and sharing fellowship. Once a year they have a dinner together.

    EDUCATION FOUNDATION

    The Foundation was established in 1983 by a group of people dedicated to St. Ann School. St. Ann School benefits from the interest earned in the account. Our primary fund raiser is the Seafood Festival and Golf Tournament held during the Memorial Day weekend.

    Contributions to the Education Foundation are tax exempt and should be made out to St. Ann Education Foundation. The income from the Foundation helps insure the future of St. Ann School. Please keep the Foundation in mind when requesting memorials

    SCHOOL ADVISORY BOARD

    The Saint Ann School Advisory Board is made up of nine members, the principal and the pastor. They are charged with the responsibility of formulating all school policy an overseeing the operation of St. Ann School. Their primary responsibility each year is to formulate the budget, determine tuition and fees, and help to create and maintain a source of income in addition to the tuition and church supplement. Meetings are open to the public.
