Dear St. Ann's Parishioners-

It is with disappointment that we must cancel our scheduled Inspiration Series/Parish Mission that was scheduled for December 12-15. Our lay evangelist, Bill Wegner, had a medical emergency and unfortunately he will not be able to conduct our four-day parish mission next week. We send our healing prayers to Bill.

Although we will not be able to spend time together during the four-day series, we now have a little bit of extra time to stop, slow down, and be with God. How are you preparing this Advent season for our Lord's coming at Christmas? Use one of the nights--or even all four nights--to spend some meaningful time in quiet contemplation and prayer. How are you able to find Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy this Advent?

Our lives are full and so are our hearts. Let us use these last few weeks of Advent to share God's love as we await the birth of our Savior--our greatest gift this season.

Yours in Christ,

Msgr. Edward J. Coyle, Pastor

St. Ann's Church, Emmaus
