PARISH NEWS/SPECIAL LETTER FROM BISHOP STEPHEN PARKES
ST. ANNE MEDIA MINISTRY
St. Anne's Media Ministry is growing and needs
your help! We presently need volunteers who are
computer savvy and have �exible hours to live
stream early morning Mass, Sacramental Masses
such as weddings and funerals, and weekend
Masses. For more information or if you’re
interested, please reach out to Micki Kaye at
Our diocesan newspaper, the Southern Cross, is a great source for
news in our Catholic communities throughout the Diocese of
Savannah. It is mailed to all households, regardless of whether or
not a family can pay the subscription price, which is just $15.
Producing the newspaper is quite expensive. Oct. 10/11 is the day
we would normally take up a 2nd collection to help defray the
printing and distribution costs. We hope you will consider making
your donation of $15 or $30 by mail or online giving, so we can
continue to produce this informative newspaper.
BAPTISM
Please welcome our newest
members, Zayden Chayton
Gentry and Lily-Ann Marie
Gentry who were baptized
on Saturday, September 12.
Congratulations to their
mom and dad, Melanie and
Tory.
September 24, 2020
My Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Diocese of Savannah,
I would like to thank you for your thoughts and prayers this week
upon my Ordination and Installation as the Fifteenth Bishop of
Savannah. As I settle in to my new responsibilities I write to you
today to provide you with an update on how we as a Diocese are
moving forward in the midst of the pandemic.
While the number of new COVID-19 cases in Georgia has declined by
more than 50% since the beginning of August - from a seven-day
moving average of 3,551 on August 1 to 1,724 on September 20 -
we remain cautious and concerned for the health of everyone.
Therefore, I am extending the Dispensation from the Obligation to
Attend Sunday Mass through the end of the liturgical year, the
Solemnity of Christ the King which is celebrated on November 22,
2020.
I would like to thank our parishes for their extra efforts to ensure the
safety of our faithful while also providing daily activities during these
past months. Since reopening at the beginning of June, we have had
no COVID-19 outbreaks traced speci�cally to any of our parishes. I
commend our Pastors for their leadership in providing healthy places
to worship and I urge everyone to remain vigilant as we continue this
journey together. I would also like to thank those who have returned
to in-person worship for following the guidelines and protocols put
into place by your Pastor. In my short time here I am impressed with
the beautiful care that I have witnessed in loving God and neighbor.
I ask you to join with me in continuing to pray for all of those who
have been stricken by this pandemic, and for the caregivers, public
health ocials, and civic leaders persevering in service to the
common good. We pray for those who long to return to Mass and to
the Sacraments but are unable due to age or health issues. May their
longing be rewarded by Almighty God with an outpouring of grace
and hope. For those who are able, I encourage you to return to Mass
when you are ready and comfortable. Your parish family needs you
and misses you.
To those who are reluctant or unable to come to Mass or parish
events, I ask you to continue to nurture your faith! Watching a
live-streamed Mass is only part of the equation. Perhaps you could
also deepen your relationship with our Blessed Mother by praying a
daily rosary or visiting your parish church to pray privately during the
day when few are present. Would you consider participating in a
formative program or Bible studies at www.formed.org and
www.ascensionpress.com? Even if we stay home, our spiritual lives
and our relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church must be
tended to.
As we have since the beginning of the pandemic, we ask our Mother
Mary to watch over and intercede for us so that we may be healthy in
soul and body. Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us! Please know
that I make a commitment to lift you, your loved ones and your
intentions in my prayers daily. I appreciate your prayers for me and
for all in the Diocese of Savannah. May we meet each day in our
prayers and rejoice in the Lord always!
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Stephen D. Parkes, D.D., Bishop of Savannah

SOLEMNITY
OF ALL SAINTS
NOVEMBER 1
FEAST OF
ALL SOULS
NOVEMBER 2
This year, the Solemnity of All Saints, November 1, falls on a
Sunday. Masses are at regularly scheduled Sunday Mass times.
Monday, November 2 is the Feast of All Souls. On this special day
we remember and pray for our faithful departed, especially the
souls in Purgatory who are on their way to heaven. We have two
special ways in which to remember our loved ones:
At 12 Noon, we will pray the Rosary in the Catholic section of
Parkhill Cemetery. The names of those who have died in the past
12 months will be read. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
If you receive envelopes by mail, an All Souls envelope should have
been included. For those who do not receive envelopes by mail,
you may make your donation online and submit your names via
email to [email protected]. Please make sure your
request arrives in the Parish Oce by 12 Noon on Wednesday,
October 21. All of our faithful brothers and sisters are
remembered on All Souls Day, but those whose names are
submitted will be included in the All Souls Book which will be kept
on the altar during the month of November.
DID YOU LOSE A ROSARY?
A rosary was found in the church on the Friday
after Fr. McCarthy’s Memorial Mass. If you lost
a rosary, please call the parish oce and we will
put you in touch with the person who found it.

ALWAYS TOGETHER AT MASS
If you can’t join us in person, we hope you and your family will join us for Mass online.
OPENING SONG: For the Beauty of the Earth
GLORIA
ALL: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you,
we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus
Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on
us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on
us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit
in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
FIRST READING: Sir 50:1, 3-4, 6-7
A reading from the Book of Sirach
Behold him in whose time the house of God was renovated, in whose days the temple was reinforced. In his time the
reservoir was dug, a pool as vast as the sea. He protected the people against brigands and strengthened the city against the
enemy. Like a star shining among the clouds, like the full moon at the festal season; Like sun shining upon the temple of the
King, like a rainbow appearing in the cloudy sky. The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
SECOND READING: Gal 6:14-18
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians
Brothers and sisters: May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been
cruci�ed to me, and I to the world. For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new
creation. Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one make troubles for
me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters.
Amen. The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
R. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
Francis poor and lowly enters heaven rich in virtue, greeted with celestial hymns.
R. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.
GOSPEL: Mt 11:25-30
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these
things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father
except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.” “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and
I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will �nd rest for
yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
PROFESSION OF FAITH
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father
before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
(At the words that follow,
up to and including “and became man,” all bow)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
OFFERTORY SONG: Prayer of St. Francis
COMMUNION SONG: (Instrumental)
ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION (For those who cannot be present)
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You
into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You
as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
FINAL BLESSING AND DISMISSAL
RECESSIONAL SONG: Let There Be Peace on Earth
For our sake he was cruci�ed under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the
dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glori�ed,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
