St. Ann’s Religious Education Program

09/23/2025

✝️ Classes have begun and the good news is that that our program is flourishing and many children have registered … the concern is that we do not have enough teachers!

‼️ The program is in ***urgent need*** of another Volunteer (or two) to teach Reconciliation class.

🙏🏼 Please prayerfully consider if God is calling you to volunteer for this very important work.

☎️ Contact the Parish Office if you can teach this year at 701-477-5601.

𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀!

There will be no CCD classes next week on March 5, Ash Wednesday. Instead, you will be able to take your child (your family!) to one of the Ash Wednesday Masses that best fits your schedule. They are as follows:

𝗦𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝗻’𝘀: 6:30AM | Noon | 5:00PM
𝗦𝘁. 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘆’𝘀: 7:00PM
𝗦𝘁. 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹’𝘀: 9:00AM | 6:00PM

It’s a good experience for your child to be introduced to and participate in Ash Wednesday Mass, this first day of Lent, a solemn season of repentance and preparing our hearts and souls for that Glorious Day of the Rising of Christ, our Lord, at Easter.

May you have an inspirational and holy Lenten Season beginning next Wednesday with Ash Wednesday.

God bless busy parents! 🙏
