St. Ann’s in Kosciusko is hosting a Day of Prayer for Rain.

Please join us on Sunday, January 18th, for Eucharistic Adoration from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., followed by the Rosary at 5:00 p.m., as we pray for rain and relief from the ongoing drought.

So often we find ourselves grumbling and complaining about the weather. This is a beautiful opportunity to lift our concerns to God and ask for His mercy. It’s Sunday—the Lord’s Day. Let us give just one hour in prayer for something that means so much to all of us right now: relief from the drought.

If you’re driving by the church, please feel free to stop in. We hope to keep this prayer vigil going continuously throughout the day.

And don’t forget to bring your umbrella! If we have faith the size of a mustard seed, then we must believe 

Spanish Mass for January will be celebrated on Sunday, January 18th

*************************

Information on our local CDA scholarships will be forthcoming. Deadline for the local scholarship is March 1, 2026.

The Knights of Columbus invites everyone to their Annual Super Bowl BBQ Chicken Dinner on Sunday, February 8, in the Parish Hall. Tickets will be available soon at Jansky’s Ticket Center.

The Catholic Daughters will be hosting a Bake Sale alongside the KC Dinner. CDA members who are unable to provide a baked good are kindly asked to make a $20 donation in lieu of the item. Donations may be brought on the day of the sale.

We are searching for our next leader to continue the beautiful tradition of our Senior Citizens Mass & Luncheon. This special gathering brings together our retired and elderly parishioners for a meaningful day filled with prayer, fellowship, and joy.

The luncheon offers a wonderful opportunity to get out of the house, mingle with friends, share stories, laughter, joys, and even a few aches and pains. Life moves quickly, and this event allows us to slow down, connect with one another, and enjoy a beautiful Mass followed by good food and great company. The event may be held monthly or quarterly, whichever works best for the team involved.

We are looking for a dedicated and caring individual who is willing to take the reins and work alongside a group of helpful volunteers to make this event happen. If you are interested or would like more information, please call the church office.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Carolyn Krawietz for her past leadership. Carolyn truly embraced this role and consistently created a fun and welcoming experience for everyone. As she steps down, let us honor her efforts by continuing this cherished tradition. 

**Thank you, Carolyn. God bless you. We know you will still be there to help.**

Please us the envelope inside your donation box and submit the amount of $20 for the 2026 dues. Thank You.

The 2026 Catholic Daughters membership dues of $25.00 are now due. Payments may be submitted at the meeting, placed in the collection basket at any weekend Mass (clearly marked “CDA Dues”), or mailed to the address below:

Periodically, parishioners ask what the church may need and kindly offer to contribute toward upcoming projects. We currently have several improvements planned, and for anyone who feels called to donate, please know that your generosity is truly appreciated. We continue to work diligently to enhance the beauty of our church and to repair areas that need attention.

Current projects include:

· Replacing damaged ciboria and acquiring matching chalices  

· Restoring the statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, as well as the Blessed Virgin Mary statue in the grotto facing FM 541

· Replacing damaged baseboards throughout the church

We would like to extend this invitation to anyone interested in giving of their time, talent, or financial support. Everyone’s generosity throughout the year does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for all you do for our parish community.

God Bless!
