Dear Friend(s),

I am writing to say welcome and how glad we are to have you as a member of Saint Anne Parish. This parish directory will be a great resource to you. It will help you to learn about the many wonderful activities of the parish. It is our hope that you will find a way to become an enthusiastic and active member of your Church.

Our Christian faith tells us that because God has blessed our lives in so many ways, that we should give back something as an expression of thanksgiving to our God. We are to reach out in service and love to God and one another. By becoming actively involved in our Church we answer God’s call to be a people of service.

Christian service is at the very core of our faith. We look at the life of Jesus Christ and we see a person who gave of himself to everyone all the time. He rarely thought about himself but rather cared about others so they could be saved.

We hope that this directory will help you find a place in Saint Anne Parish where you can reach out in service and love.

As your pastor, I feel I am truly blessed by all the wonderful, faith-filled people of Saint Anne Parish. My vocation as a priest has helped me to reach out to the people of the parish. This has enriched my life spiritually and enabled me to bring others closer to God.

May we as a parish grow deeper in the love of God, stronger in our respect for each other and become examples of what Christian love is all about.

God bless you and may He keep you in His love each day.

Sincerely,

Rev. Richard Casey
