Laudetur Iesus Christus! We have a few events to share with you:

St. Ann Latin Mass on Friday January 19 at 7:00 AM is canceled.

Feast of St. Agnes celebration – after 12:30pm Latin Mass this Sunday January 21

Sunday is the 3^rd Sunday after Epiphany and in the traditional calendar it’s also the feast of St. Agnes (one of the great virgin-martyrs). As her name is a Latin derivative of Angus, she is frequently pictured with a lamb, and even the blessing of lambs occurred on her feast day. She died on January 21 under Diocletian’s persecution in a most heroic manner and to celebrate we will be hosting some extra lamb-themed cookies and treats after 12:30 PM Sunday Mass at St. Ann.  Can we have some volunteers bring some treats, drinks to help support this? (They don’t have to be lamb-themed).
