The members of our parish warmly welcome new parishioners and visitors. As we at Saint Anne Catholic Parish remember the past and move to the future, we pray for the grace to follow Jesus’ example as we reach out to the poor, feed the hungry and create a place of faith and hope for our families.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

On a sabbath Jesus went to dine
at the home of one of the leading Pharisees,
and the people there were observing him carefully.

He told a parable to those who had been invited,
noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet,
do not recline at table in the place of honor.
A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him,
and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say,
‘Give your place to this man,’
and then you would proceed with embarrassment
to take the lowest place.
Rather, when you are invited,
go and take the lowest place
so that when the host comes to you he may say,
‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’
Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
For every one who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Then he said to the host who invited him,
“When you hold a lunch or a dinner,
do not invite your friends or your brothers
or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors,
in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet,
invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you.
For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

2010 Fall Festival
Facilitated by Garden Event Management

To help maximize the return on this major fundraiser for the Parish, members oflast year's Fall Festival Committee (led by Mr. Fran Nason) interviewed companies in the business of organizing fundraising events. Garden Event Management of Tampa, owned and operated by Kathi and Nate Garden, got the nod.

As an initial step to transition to their involvement in the Festival, a list oflast year's volunteers was provided to Garden Event Management by Mr. Nason, who is unavailable to assist this year. The Parish of St. Anne is blessed to have a wealth of talent among its parishioners, without whose stewardship of volunteerism it would not be possible to function and serve the Lord as St. Anne's does.

A core group of volunteers will serve as committee chairpersons over the various functions of the festival. When you receive your call to help with this year's Fall Festival activities it is our hope that you will respond as resoundingly as you have in the past.

To volunteer for a specific area or to learn more about how you may help, feel free to contact Kathi and Nate Garden directly at 813-223-9538 or eventplannerstampa.com or a chairperson listed below.
