A SPECIAL NOTE: 

St. Ann's defines an “active/participating parishioner” as one who is registered and worshipping at this parish on a regular (weekly) basis and who commits to a stewardship of time, talent and financial resources to help support the parish and the Archdiocese of New York. Every family member and single adult* must be properly registered in the parish, attending Sunday Mass, receiving and regularly using the parish weekly donation envelopes (or using online giving). Only once someone has been registered and active for a minimum of six months can the parish issue documents attesting to parish membership and Catholic practice, such as a letter to be a Godparent or Sponsor.         

* NOTE: children of member families must register once they reach age 21.

The Archdiocese of New York has provided a wonderful way for the Cardinal to reach all parishioners with important news as well as for each pastor to contact his flock quickly. It is by use of Flocknotes. Thanks to this program, whenever we need to get information to you immediately, we can easily send an email and/or a text message to you so that you get the information right away. WE WILL NEVER GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL ADDRESS TO ANYONE ELSE! This is solely for in-parish and intra-archdiocesenal use. Signing up is very easy, just text STANNYONKERS to 84576 or visit http://www.flocknote.com/stannyonkers. It is simple and free. Please sign up today!

My dear people of St. Ann’s Parish,

On Monday, June 27, I will be leaving the parish until Labor Day, September 5. 

As you have undoubtedly heard me mention, I am working on a degree in preaching. I began the program a few years ago while in the Bronx. I am at the writing stage for my degree, and with two parishes, I do not have the time I need to think and research my paper. I asked the Cardinal for the summer off, and he has granted my request. I will be in touch each week with the rectory. I assure you there will be priests available to celebrate Mass and the other Sacraments. Here at St. Ann’s, Fr. John will be the administrator in my absence. Fr. Anthony is with us until August, and then Fr. Patrick will come from Ghana (not the same Diocese as Fr. John and Fr. Anthony) to be with us until October.

I will miss the parish very much! I will not be finished with my paper when I return in September, but I will undoubtedly have a good amount of work completed within two months, concentrating only on schoolwork. 

I will not write a Pastor’s column during my time away. I beg you to pray for me and be assured that I will be praying for you during my time away. God bless you all and have a peaceful summer. And as they say, “See you in September!”

Until next week, Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Fr. Stephen P. Norton
St. Ann, pray for us.
