Recent Losses In Our Community

St. Ann's has lost three wonderful members in the past two weeks. Marietta Barbuto, Willie Madlock, and Marlene Johnson.

Marietta was very active especially in cleaning and laundering the altar cloths. Willie was a large part of the prayer life of St. Ann's and taught her family the importance of reading scripture. Marlene was related to several of our parishioners, and unfortunately was the victim of a violent crime.

They all have had or will have a Mass of Christian Burial here. May they rest in peace!
