From Father Brian:
I cannot thank you all enough for the prayers, support,
offers to help in anyway since the announcement of my
medical leave. I have received one round of chemothera-
py so far and my stem cells were successfully gathered and
are prepared to be transplanted on February 18th. In antici-
pation of the several days of chemotherapy and hospitaliza-
tion prior to that date I will be away from the parishes be-
ginning January 25th. During that time i will make my
yearly spiritual retreat and spend some time with family
and friends. There will be a three week stay at least at Beth
Israel's East Campus followed by recuperation at my family
home in Quincy. Once cleared by my doctors I plan to re-
turn to the parishes. Until that time Fr Bob Connors will
coordinate the life of the parishes along with visiting
priests. I will keep you all informed as things progress and
in my daily prayers.
Peace
Father Brian

Please note that all checks must be made paya-
ble to either St Ann Parish OR St Brendan Par-
ish, and not the Collaborative, in order for the
checks to be processed. The Parishes have sep-
arate bank accounts and there is no account in
the name of the Collaborative . Thank you!
Remembering St. Ann’s & St. Brendan’s
Many people have given bequests over the
years to our parish collaborative and we are
grateful for their generosity. Gifts and be-
quests are a line item in our parish budgets
and as the fiscal year comes to a close some
have inquired about the logistics of giving a
large or small gift as part of your estate plan-
ning. If you would like more information
about how this can be done in loving memory
of anyone in your life please contact our fi-
nance manager Nancy Lafoe or any member of
our finance councils.
