 THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

 “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME; HE HAS SENT ME TO RING GLAD TIDINGS TO THE POOR, TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED…”

                 (ISAIAH 61:1)

 The Lord God has anointed all of us through Baptism and He has sent each of us on a mission.   Each of us has been given unique gifts and talents so that we can help fulfill God’s mission here on earth.  Are you doing the things Jesus sent you here to do?

ST. ANNE CHURCH,
FRENCH VILLAGE, MO.

As one of the oldest members of St. Anne Parish, who was present at the Christmas Sunday Breakfast given by the St. Anne Parish Council I would like to show my appreciation for the most delicious meal.I realize that it was a lot of hard work. Thanks to all of our members and visitors who attended. Thanks to all who do good deeds for our Parish. God will not forget you.

Anita Schmidt

If you would like to attend the discussion group on “WHY I AM A CATHOLIC” please sign up on the sheet in the back of Church. We will have a meeting of those who signed up so we can determine the day and time.Every one welcome!  

OUR LADY SODALITY 

Father Joe Pitz from the King’s House Retreat and Renewal Center in Belleville, Ill will be hosting a one day Retreat for the ladies of St. Joseph and St. Anne Parish.  Bring a friend.  Lunch will be provided. We will begin at 9:00a.m. and conclude at 3:30p.m.  A great ending would be to go to confession and attend the 4:00p.m. Mass together.  Please use the sign up sheet in the back of Church or contact Janet Mecey at 358-0684, Mary Wood at 358-2394   or Becky Kelly at 358-5369.  The Retreat is free however a donation jar will  be available.  More information to follow.  Please watch the bulletin in the next few weeks. 

Congratulations to our Home and School Association!  The St. Joseph School Christmas Float tied for third place in the Annual Bonne Terre Christmas Parade.   The theme of the parade was CHRISTMAS FUTURE.   Our float was a  Nativity Scene with the saying, CHRISTMAS OF THE FUTURE… SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.  Great Job!!!

DAUGHTERS OF ISABELLA 

Don’t forget the Christmas Party on December 12^th. We will begin at 6:30p.m. Games will be played and the gift exchange is optional.  We will also have attendance prizes.  Sounds like an evening of fun.

THE FLU AND COLD SEASON IS HERE 

We are now coming into the flu and cold season.  Last year we were given the option to hold hands during the Lord’s Prayer or simply raise your hands in prayer.  Once again you now have that option.  Please do not take offence if your neighbor does not extend their hand.  As we work our way through  the coming weeks may everyone be blessed with good health.
