Collection for the Retirement Fund for the Religious – November 1st & 2nd: Support religious communities. Your generous contribution helps us to care for our retired sisters and enables our younger sisters to continue in active ministry,” writes a religious sister. Your gift to today’s collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious provides vital support for the retirement needs of senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. It also helps ensure that younger members can continue the good works of their elders!
Week of Prayer for Vocations – November 2nd – 8th DIOCESE OF ARLINGTON - VOCATIONS PRAYER Heavenly Father, Lord of the harvest, call forth vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life from our diocese and our families.

Send them as laborers for Your harvest. Inspire the faithful to support them with prayer and sacrifice. Raise up holy families who foster openness to Your call. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Mary Immaculate, pray for us. St. Thomas More, pray for us. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us.

Book of Remembrance During the month of November, the “Book of Remembrance”, will be located in the Narthex. Please write down the names of those whom you would like to be included in the intentions of all the Masses offered at St. Ann Church throughout the month. Parishioners are invited to bring a picture of their loved one who has passed away to be displayed in the Church as we pray for all the faithfully departed during November. Candles will be available in the Narthex to light and place in the brass sand bin on the Table of Remembrance, to the left of the altar, before Mass. Please also see instructions on the table next to the Book of Remembrance.
Coat Drive: As the weather turns colder, some people are in need of coats. To help people in need, St. Ann will be conducting a coat drive. As you are cleaning out your closets, please consider donating any unused or old coats. Clean, gently used ADULT and CHILD coats will be collected from November 1st through November 9th. There will be a receptacle near the hall to deposit coats. The coats will be delivered to A-SPAN for distribution to homeless individuals and to Carlin Springs School for distribution to needy students. THANK YOU!

A donation of $10 is requested. If you would like to participate, please e-mail Laura Ryan at [email protected] to RSVP this week, so we may purchase supplies. A blessing of Advent wreaths (made at this event or brought from home) will be offered at the Masses on the First Sunday of Advent.
It’s Ladies’ Night… …or, more precisely, ladies’ morning! We will begin a woman’s gathering for Scripture study, faith sharing and fellowship at 9:30a on December 5.

If so, there are many opportunities available, but they all require a background check by the Diocese of Arlington, as well as training on how to preserve a safe environment for minors. Please contact Amy in the Faith Formation office if you want more information on this painless process.
Got Sacraments?? This month, the Faith Formation Office will begin offering two “sacramental catch-up” classes. The first is for elementary school aged children who have either been delayed in receiving Baptism and/or First Communion OR who have not received in-class faith formation in both 1st and 2nd grade. The second is for middle and high school aged children who have been delayed in receiving Baptism, First Communion and/or Confirmation OR have not received in-class faith formation in 7th and 8th grade.
