A Prayer for our Saint Anner,
Bishop James Paul McCloskey
God our Father, we thank You for giving Your
Church, a great missionary, pastor and founder
of the first Carmel in the Philippines, Bishop
James Paul McCloskey. Grant us the Grace to
imitate his deep life of prayer, humility, selfsacrifice, charity and zeal for the salvation of
humanity. We humbly ask you, Father to raise
him to the altars so that through him also You
may be glorified. We ask this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns
with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever
and ever. Amen.
In thanks for the meaningful lease for our building

The Bells of Saint Anne Parish
Our bells have returned to remind us to pray the Angelus each day.
When the bells are rung at 12 Noon and 6:00 PM
the Angelus is prayed during the time that they are ringing.
V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according
to Your Word.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Our Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord,
Your Grace into our hearts;
that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ,
your Son was made known by
the message of an angel,
so by His passion and cross
we may be brought to the glory
of His Resurrection.
Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
