The 2020 Church calendars are available at the entrances of the church. These
calendars are beautiful and inspiring. Each month features religious masterpieces of
art from the 14th through 20th centuries, from galleries around the world. I would like
to extend our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends at the Duksa Family Funeral
Homes for once again providing our calendars.

THANK YOU FROM THE KNIGHTS
A sincere thank you to all that supported
the Knights of Columbus Breakfast on
November 17th.
We are happy to report that we raised
approximately $630. It will be split between
Annunciation Parish and “Vocations for
Priests”. The funds from Vocations are used
to sponsor Seminarians. This year the
Knights sponsored two Seminarians – Deacon
Anthony Federico (ordained to the priesthood
June 22nd), & Seminarian Joseph MacNeill,
born and raised in Newington, and currently
studying in Rome!
Please pray for vocations and thank you for
supporting our activities that allow us to
make donations to this very worthy cause.
