The St. Ann MEF Servers had their first service project this past Saturday. Seven young men came out early before the start of the St. Ann Carnival to help out. The boys ran around setting up drink booths, fixing and securing other booths, hanging signs, helping out to set up bingo, and of course taking a few minutes in between to ensure the quality of the games.
Once the fair got underway, we had time to pray a rosary in the Church. Then we got a sneak peek at the unfinished, but still beautiful, new Chapel at St. Ann's. After a treat at the bake sale, we got to work on balloons for the kids and we had a lot of fun.
Thanks to the servers and their families who were able to make it. Many of the parishoners at St. Ann's were very grateful for the assistance. It was really good to demonstrate that our little ministry is not a secluded and sheltered group. While we focus on the Latin Mass, a mystery to most parishoners, we are a part of a larger family, and in coming months we will continue to expand the ministry to other parishes and the Diocese.
