St. Anne Parish Mission Prayer Almighty Father, we thank you for
calling us to live together as the family of St. Anne Catholic
Church. Generations ago you lit the fire of faith through a mission
to the children of immigrants in a small stone church. Lord Jesus,
we ask you to help us to follow you and humbly serve you by
welcoming and serving those most in need of your love. Fill us with
your Holy Spirit and light our path. Keep us attentive to your word
in the Scriptures and help us to recognize Christ in the breaking
of the bread. May the lives we lead be our offering of love to you.
We make our prayer in unity with all the Saints, especially through
the intercession of St. Anne the grandmother of Jesus. Amen.

THE CALL OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The Twenty-third Psalm, today’s
responsorial psalm, is arguably the best known of all the psalms.
The line that reads “Even though I walk in the dark valley / I fear
no evil; for you are at my side / with your rod and your staff /
that give me courage” (Psalm 23:4) connects this week’s scriptures
to the wonderful story of the road to Emmaus, which we heard last
week. The Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is constantly at our side.
He calls us each by name, beckoning us into a deeper relationship
with him. That call, is-sued to each of us at the moment of our
bap-tism, carries with it the promise of the Good Shepherd: “I came
so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John
10:10).

National Cenacle The annual National Cenacle of the Marian
Movement of Priests will be held Saturday, May 20, 2017 at St. John
Catholic Center, main chapel - Diocese of Little Rock, 2500 North
Tyler Street, Little Rock, Arkansas. The Cenacle will begin at
10:00 a.m. followed by Mass at 11:00 a.m. The Cenacle will end at
noon. Father Tom Keller will again be our celebrant. We hope to see
you. Please make every effort to attend and invite your friends and
family. Dr. Rich-ard and Melanie Riley can be reached at
501-224-3949 for questions. God Bless! SERMON ON THE MOUNT - How
“Blessed” Are You
If you were accused of being a Catholic, would there be enough
evidence to convict you? Living the lessons of the Sermon on the
Mount would make a strong case against you. St. Augustine called
the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount the perfect standard of
Christian life. Fr. Erik Pohl-meier will bring this teaching into
our lives during a special 2 night presentation on Tuesday, May 9,
& Wednesday, May 10, at 7:00 p.m. in the Holy Souls Parish
Hall, 1003 N. Tyler Street, Little Rock. Please join us to see what
might be your strengths and your weaknesses in living out the
beatitudes each day.
Seminarian Keith Higginbotham As most of you know, Keith
Higginbotham of our Parish, will be ordained a transitional deacon
on Thursday, May 18, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. here at St. Anne. In
addition to the ordination, there will be a bilingual Holy Hour at
4pm to which all are welcome. We would like to invite the par-ish
to come out and support Keith during this holy event. Because our
parish is small and we have limited space, it would be helpful if
you would call the parish to let us know if you will be attending.
A reception will follow the Ordination in Mary's Hall.

volunteers who are able to help at our parish rummage sale, June 16
