| Knights of Columbus -In
1882, the first council of the Knights of Columbus was founded in
Connecticut and has grown into an international society of more than
1.5 million. The Knights are a Catholic men's fraternal organization
dedicated to the values of charity, unity, fraternity and
patriotism. The Knights display their commitment to the
Church and parish by assisting with Mass; to the community
with annual Chicken Bogs and Parish BBQ's and other events; and many
other activities. The K of C provides the muscle and skills for various
building projects around the parish such as landscaping, painting, and
carpentry projects. Membership is open to men of the parish over 18. <More> |

WHAT
IS IT?
The
Legion of Mary is the largest apostolic organization of lay people in
the Catholic Church, with well over 3 million active members in almost
every country of the world. The main purpose of the Legion of
Mary is to give glory to God through the sanctification of its members.
WHAT
DOES IT DO?
Members
become instruments of the Holy Spirit through a balanced program of
prayer and service. Works include door-to-door evangelization,
parishioner visitation, prison ministry, visitation of the sick or
aged, crowd contact, religious education, visiting the newly baptized,
Pilgrim Virgin Statue rotations, and meeting the other spiritual needs
of the parish community. Legionaries are under the guidance of a
spiritual director named by the pastor. The Legion is, in essence, an
extension of the heart and hands of the pastor.
HOW
DOES IT WORK?
Members
meet once a week for prayer, planning and discussion in a family
setting. Then they do two hours of definite work each week in pairs and
under the guidance of their spiritual director.
WHO
CAN BELONG?
The
Legion of Mary is open to all Catholics who:
- Faithfully practice their religion
- Are animated by the desire to participate in the
Church's apostolate through membership in the Legion
- Are prepared to fulfill each and every duty which
active membership in the Legion involveds
HOW
DO I START?

first step is to be a guest at a meeting of the Legion of Mary. Guests

Women's Guild - St. Ann's
Parish used to have a Women's Guild and we are seeking
to re-start this strong organization, open to all female
parishioners. Affiliated with the National Council of
Catholic Women, this organization works to support, empower, and
educate Catholic women. There is opportunity for members to
grow in areas of leadership, service and spirituality. Work is
divided among 6 areas: Church, family, community,
international, legislative and organizational, working closely with the
pastor to assist in meeting the needs of the parish family including
bereavement. |
