We are glad you came to join with us in our worship today. We hope that you have felt God’s love in a new, refreshing way… From Fr. Tony “A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you from among your own kindred; that is the one to whom you shall listen…I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kindred, and will put my words into the mouth of the prophet; the prophet shall tell them all that I command” (Deuteronomy 18:15, 18). As I read this passage from our first reading this weekend of God’s call for Moses to be His prophet, I am reminded about the office we share with Christ by our Baptism. When we are baptized, we are baptized as Priest, Prophet, and King. All of us, by virtue of our Baptism, share in the prophetic role of Christ. All of us are called to proclaim God’s word and teach people of God’s love and what it means to be members of His Body, the Church. As we finish another week of Catholic Schools, our Area Faith Community is blessed to have a Catholic school community to share with our young people the faith, to enhance their knowledge, and to offer opportunities to grow in loving service. We are truly blessed to have great listeners in our children, as Deuteronomy writes. However, we are also truly blessed to have wonderful prophets, like Moses, in our school. When I came here 7 months ago, I was impressed to see how our prophets (the faculty, staff, and administration) share a common goal. As prophets, they tell what God has commanded them by their words and actions. They all have the desire to put their kids and the mission of the school before themselves. They are not only great examples of modern day prophets; they all share in the Priestly office of Christ – by sacrificing their own needs and wants for the benefit of the school. For this and for all that they do for our school. Therefore, when you see a teacher, staff member, or principal, please thank them for sharing the faith, developing the knowledge, and encouraging opportunities for service to our children. Speaking of teachers and prophets, enjoy… The teacher was carefully explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal. She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar. And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. He had them do this four times. "Now, said the teacher, "can anyone in the class tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?" A little girl in the back of the room raised her hand with great enthusiasm. "To make the gravy." We truly have great prophets among us, please join me, as we thank them! SPECIAL THANKS TO… All who made Catholic Schools Week a great success. Our Catholic education is a wonderful gift, and we are so grateful to all who volunteered and attended the different events. Those who helped with last year’s Catholic Heart Work Camp And for helping with the slide show last weekend. Again, if any of our 9-12 graders are interested in going this year (June 20-27), please let Sherry Plaetz know at the office. In Christ through His Mother, Fr.

God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need.

St. Anne's School kicks off sales for Catholic Schools Raffle You can't fit a brand-new SUV into the backpack of a student from St. Anne's School in Wabasso, but you can fit the chance to win one! Starting Feb. 1, students will be carrying and selling raffle tickets as part of the Catholic Schools Raffle. Tickets are also available for sale in the school and parish offices. Ticket buyers have the opportunity to win $45,000 in prizes, including a 2015 Ford Escape or $25,000 cash, vacation packages and more.

The money raised has allowed participating schools to provide tuition assistance, improve technology and pay for special learning opportunities, such as field trips and special guest speakers. Along with the $8,000 in ticket sale revenue it hopes to receive from the Raffle, St. Anne's has a shot at winning a $3,000 grant from Catholic United if it is one of the top-three performing schools (based on the number of tickets sold per student).
