Family Train Day was a great success! We made about $1500 for St. Vincent’s School in Haiti, and perhaps equally important, once again St. Mary Anne’s demonstrated its hospitality to many people from the local community!
Family Train Day Success!
Men’s Pancake Breakfast
A SMA Men’s Group called “2:42” is making a return to the parish! This group promotes fellowship, learning and service and is based on Acts 2:42: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”Men of the parish are invited to a Pancake Breakfast on Saturday, January 28th in the Parish Hall from 8:00-9:30AM.
After the breakfast, there will be a short planning meeting to discuss future activities–such as monthly meeting topics, potential service project ideas, day trips, etc. Men–bring your ideas and appetite! RSVP to Father John.
Winning Float Entry!
Nancy and Tim Leizear won 3rd Place in the non-profit float category at the Cecil County Christmas Parade on December 3rd! This adorable float, sitting on top of their golf cart, advertised our Christmas Cookie Walk for the following Saturday! Tim wore a Gingerbread costume that day and followed the float. Nancy has been wearing the prize ribbon ever since!
