Laudetur Iesus Christus and blessed feast of Ss. Simon & Jude! Tomorrow Saturday October 29 at 8am will be the monthly Respect Life Latin Mass at St. Ann parish. It will be followed by prayers at the Planned Parenthood abortion facility or a Holy Hour of Reparation for those unable to travel down.

Feast of Christ the King – Sunday October 30

There will be a Eucharistic Procession after most of the Sunday Latin Masses in the diocese. St. Ann parish will feature a procession to Holy Trinity Middle School and back and conclude with prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus to obtain a plenary indulgence for the day.
