Anonymous ATTENTION ANNUNCIATION PAISHIONERS The Knights of Columbus will be holding a ROSARY on the 5th Sunday of every month that has a 5th Sunday These rosaries are being done at the request of the Holy Father, Pope Francis and the Supreme Knight Carl Anderson for the Support for the entire Country and all persecuted Christians. Last year, 2016, 90,000 Christians were murdered for their Faith. This amounts to 7,500 Christians murdered every month. The Knights of Columbus Supreme Council has announced this NEW church activity. The 5th Sunday Rosary Program. Knights, their families and other parishioners are encouraged to pray the rosary as a corporate body every time a 5th Sunday occurs during a month. This works out to about 4 times a year. The first one was celebrated in this area at Annunciation on Sunday, November 29th, We would like to celebrate another 5th Sunday Rosary this month on Sunday, October 29th at 7:00 pm in the Church. We trust that the Parish will honor this commitment and come and pray the rosary with the Knights of Columbus on the date stated above. If you need to schedule a baptism, please enroll in the next class that is being held at the parish office on November 8th at 7:00 pm. Please call the Parish office to register for the class.
