Giving Alms During Lent

For those who wish to make almsgiving a part of your Lenten practice, you may wish to join other parishioners in donating to the Catholic Near East Welfare Association.

This is a papal agency for humanitarian and pastoral support of Middle Eastern churches.

During this time when Middle Eastern Catholics and their families are being martyred for the faith, and when Christian villages and neighborhoods are under pressure and attack, their need for assistance and support from us is greater than ever.

During the remaining 3 weekends of Lent there will be a special box in the back of the church to receive any donations you may wish to make for the pastoral and temporal needs of Middle Eastern Catholics and other Christians.

We will consolidate your offerings and make one single gift from St. Anne's.

Thank you for your generosity. Yours, Fr. John
