Saint Ann Centennial Novena
July 26th, Day Nine
Saint Ann Feast Day
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
On today's Feast of Saints Ann and Joachim, we ask Saint Ann and her holy spouse to pray with us that our Centennial Celebration may strengthen our parish community, remind us of our good and Holy past, and bring us closer to unity with the Holy Trinity as we radiate Christ for the next 100 years.
Dearest St. Ann,
Dearest St. Ann,
We thank you for your love and
protection of our parish for the past
one hundred years. We bless you and
St. Joachim for giving us your daughter,
our mother Mary; for teaching her about
our heavenly Father and for her care of
Jesus during His life on Earth.
Your example and teaching inspired
her holy life and she was chosen by
God to become the mother of His son.
We implore your continued care and protection
of our parish, especially our children.
As you instructed Mary, help us to assist them
to grow in wisdom, age, and grace. We beg
you to ask Mary to lead us to a deeper
relationship with God and with one another.
We pray this through your intercession
and in the name of the Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.

Thank you for praying with us! We will send one more prayer tomorrow to conclude the novena - our Centennial prayer developed by Father Fye.
We hope to see you this evening at 5:00 PM in the church for prelude music and Mass, followed by our grotto dedication and reception!
