Friends in Christ,
Just a reminder that tomorrow Saturday March 22 at 8:00 a.m. is the monthly Respect Life Latin Mass at Saint Ann parish.
Following
Mass, there will be prayers said at the Planned Parenthood abortion
facility and a Holy Hour of Reparation offered in the church (for those
unable to travel to the abortion facility).

Ann parish will host a Lenten mission Sunday March 23 - Wednesday March

ago). The mission will feature talks each night at 7:00 p.m. (the same
talks will be offered each weekday morning at 10:30 a.m.). The last
night of the mission, there will be the regular 6:00 p.m. Latin Mass
followed by the talk.
Prayers for the Holy Father
The U.S. Bishops Conference is asking for prayers for Pope Francis during his illness and has published the prayer below, which can also be found at this link. [Prayers for Pope Francis]
~
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful, look favorably on your servant Francis, whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
Grant, we pray, that by word and example he may be of service to those over whom he presides so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care, he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Speak Up For The Latin Mass: Discipleship Parish Survey
Every week we pray for the preservation of the Latin Mass. Now, we are being asked directly to voice our spiritual needs.
As promised, Bishop Martin has sent out surveys to help shape the future of parish life in the Diocese of Charlotte to answer the question "How well are our clergy & ministries meeting your spiritual needs?" This is a critical opportunity to ensure that your spiritual needs—which include access to the Latin Mass—are acknowledged, met, and planned for. We have been blessed to have the Latin Mass in this diocese for years now. If the Latin Mass is important to you and your family, your response is essential.
The survey takes just a few minutes to complete, but the impact could last for years.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey for your registered parish or mission. The window for participation is limited—please do not wait.
