The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
Christ, your Father prepared his banquet for us.
He set the table and killed the fatted calf.
He gave to us the very finest wine,
and he invited us to come,
each and every one,
every single
one, to
this
table of plenty.
Let our fine clothing be you.
Let your beauty be our only comfort.
Then let us relish every morsel, savor your wine,
rejoice and taste your love, the most satisfying meal of all.... ~ Anne Osdieck

PARISH LIFE
THANKSGIVING BASKET:
The Parish
Advisory Committee is organizing a
“Thanksgiving Basket” to be raffled off
in mid November. The proceeds will go
towards the Haitian Apostolate to help
build the Food Canteen at St. Anne’s
School in Camp Perrin. At this time we
are accepting any and all donations, monetary included, to
complete the basket. Donations can be dropped off at the
Rectory.
PARISH MINISTRY WEEKEND: On the weekend of
October 18 & 19, St. Anne’s Parish will be celebrating
“The Parish Ministry Weekend.” At this time and during
the Masses, we will be inviting parishioners to sign up for
the various ministries of the Parish which will be listed on
a “Ministry Card.” After the Sunday Masses, there will be
a “Coffee and Donuts Hour in the Parish Hall.”
OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH: During this time
we’re called to reflect on the sacred dignity that human life
holds at all its stages. The former Cardinal Bernadin
referred to the “Respect Life Issue” (Pro-Life) as a
“seamless garment” to include every stage and facet of
human life. All life is God’s gift—a valuable commodity
that demands reverence! Too often our contemporary
world loses sight of that fact.
DIVINE MERCY IMAGE: We are most grateful to Jim and
Monica Shay for their donation of the beautiful “Divine
Mercy Image” which hangs in the side entrance of St.
Anne Church. May this precious image remind us in our
comings and goings of the infinite mercy found in the
heart of Jesus Christ!
BOOK OF THE GOSPELS”: The Parish recently
purchased a Gospel Book to be used by the
priest or deacon when the Gospel is
proclaimed. If anyone wishes to have it
memorialized with names of a loved one(s),
the cost of the book is $100.00. Please contact the
Rectory if interested.
BIBLE STUDY meets on Wednesdays from 7-8:30pm at
the Parish Hall, Children’s Liturgy Room. This week’s
topic: The Holy Spirit in the Bible.” Come and join us as
we attempt to open up the Scriptures and uncover their
meaning for us today! Newcomers are always welcome!
ANNUAL REMEMBERANCE MASS: We will again have
this Special Mass to remember our deceased loved ones
who have passed away during this past year. It will be
held on Monday, November 3rd at 7:00pm. A light
reception will follow in the Parish Hall. All are welcome
to attend. If you have a loved one that as died in the last
year and you would like them to be remembered (other
than those who have been buried from St. Anne Parish),
please let us know so we can remember them at this
Mass. Please call the Rectory with their name.
TO HAVE YOUR CHILD BAPTIZED
Call the Parish Office if you are planning to have your child
baptized in the coming months. If this is your first child, you must
arrange for baptism preparation prior to setting your baptism date.
Baptisms are generally celebrated on the first Sunday of the
month.
VISITATION OF THE SICK
Our extraordinary ministers are always pleased to bring the
Eucharist to parishioners who are unable to join us for weekly

the women of our Parish to the Annual Potluck Dinner on

PERNET FAMILY HEALTH SERVICE: A letter of thank you
was received from the Pernet Family Health Service:
...“We are deeply grateful for your generous and compassionate
donations. They are especially important this time of year,
when temperatures are colder and food often is in scarce
supply.”
“Such vital contributions are invaluable to Pernet, which has
provided low income Worcester-area families with home health
and social services for more that 40 years. Your kind support
will enable us to link prenatal women, their infants, and
children to appropriate medical care and social services.”...
Johanna Lolax (Director of community Affairs & Development)

The Lord’s Prayer
The Responsorial Psalm for this weekend:
The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful wars he leads me;
he refresh's my soul.
He guides me in right paths
for his name sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at me side
with your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
You spread the table before me
in he sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell n the house of the Lord
for year's to come.
