Celebrate the Feast of Pope John XXIII

The Church of St. Ann, located at 1253 Lawrenceville Road in Lawrenceville, will celebrate the feast of Blessed (soon to be saint) John XX!!! on Friday, October 11, with an evening of prayer, reflection, and learning beginning at 7:30 PM in the Faith Development Center.

The gathering will provide an opportunity for participants to share Good Pope John stories, present a few lessons from the life of Angelo Roncalli and how they can be helpful to our life today, and share in prayer for the Church.

Pope Francis announced that Pope John XXIII will be canonized in the Spring of 2014. Although the feast of most saints fall on the anniversary of their death, Pope John Paul II assigned the date of October 11 as the feast day of Blessed John XXIII, because this date corresponds to the opening date of the second Vatican Council in 1962. It was Blessed John XXIII who called the Vatical Council.

All are welcome. Admission is free.
