22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

After the carefree weeks of summer, September marks the beginning of the last third of the year. In some conversations, people have shared with me how much they regret that summer is now giving way to late summer, that the sun sets noticeably earlier in the evening, and that soon the focus will be on Thanksgiving. It feels like we are jumping from one “peak time” to the next. However, the coming weeks will be all about shaping our normal everyday life again alongside the “highlights.”

Fall will also bring events to rejoice in, whether they are small joys that make us grateful, joys that arise naturally, or those that are simply given to us. We can also create joyful experiences – for ourselves and for others.

We wish you a blessed start to September and all the grace and joy it brings.

We are so excited to welcome our St. Anne students back on campus! There’s nothing better than the joy, laughter, and lively noise of young people. Our Friday daily Mass will continue with the students starting on Friday, September 6, at 8:45 AM – everyone is invited.

As we embark on a new academic year, we warmly welcome students and school parents back to our St. Anne parish. May this year be filled with growth, learning, and the blessings of faith.
