The Roman Catholic Parishes of
St. Ann, Lenox, MA
and
St. Patrick, West Stockbridge, MA
St. Ann Mission Statement: St. Ann Church is a community of faith within the Roman Catholic tradition. Through celebra-
tion of Eucharist and participation in the Sacraments we seek to live our lives as a welcoming family that strives to make
known the living presence of Jesus Christ in the ministry of our everyday lives. Empowered through the word of God we rec-
ognize the call to serve as the defining mark of our community. Personal involvement through participation in one or more of
the ministries to serve the needs of our parish family and local community is invited and encouraged. The Family Center is an
extension of St. Ann Church as a place of welcome and renewal where we strengthen the bonds of community and work to-
gether for the building of the Kingdom of God.
St. Patrick Mission Statement: The mission of St. Patrick Church is to respond faithfully to God’s call as a Roman Catholic
Community. The celebration of Eucharist and the Sacraments are central to our parish life. We seek to care for one another
and to reach out to those members of our community who are in need.

St. Ann’s is a Welcoming Parish!
That being said, St. Ann’s Family Life and Community
Outreach Commission of our Parish Council is seeking vol-
unteers to act as greeters at two doors of the Church, wel-
coming parishioners and guests, extending a hand and greet-
ing people as they enter for Mass.
Volunteers would share a welcoming smile, a handshake,
a greeting and assistance as needed, as people come into our
church.
If you are interested in helping with this new ministry,
please leave your name and phone number, as well as the
Mass you prefer, with the office or by calling Joe Healy at
413-442-9121. With enough volunteers we could each be
called to serve once a month or less.
Please help us further demonstrate our willingness to
reach out to serve God and one another.

County is always in need of diapers. If you are able to

Short Excerpts
Taken from Pope Francis’ Addresses And Homilies
WE ARE HIS DWELLING PLACE
Jesus lived the daily reality of the most ordinary people: he
was moved as he faced the crowd that seemed like a flock
without a shepherd; he wept before the sorrow that Martha
and Mary felt at the death of their brother, Lazarus; he
called a publican to be his disciple; he also suffered
betrayal by a friend. In him God has given us the certitude
that he is with us, he is among us. “Foxes,” he, Jesus, said,
“have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the son of
man has nowhere to lay his head” (Matthew 8:20). Jesus
has no house, because his house is the people; it is we who
are his dwelling place; his mission is to open God’s doors
to all, to be the presence of God’s love.
This excerpt was taken from the book, “Pope Francis Speaks to
Our Hearts, Words of Challenge and Hope” by the Word
Among Us.
Lenox Food Pantry
The Lenox Food Pantry could use our help in stocking
the pantry shelves. There are many families in need of a
little bit of extra help and the Lenox Food Pantry is a vital
part of that help. The pantry’s shelves are very bare these
days, so please remember to bring a non-perishable food
item to church with you whenever possible. As we ap-
proach fall and then winter, the need will be increasing.
Just a reminder; when making a donation of canned
goods etc.. Please be aware of the expiration date printed
on the item. St. Ann’s cannot bring the item to the pantry if
the date has come and gone, nor can the pantry give out the
item to anyone.
Thank you to everyone who has donated in the past! It
really does make a difference.
CAN YOU HELP?
St. Ann’s is looking for one new Altar Sodality member.
You would be paired with another member and asked to
give us a hour or two, every 5 to 6 weeks, to polish up the
Altar and sacristies at St. Ann Church. Again, please call
Debbie at 637-0157 if you can help us .

tional Geographic photographer John Stanmeyer. There
