October is the Month of the Holy Rosary
“One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.” ~St. Dominic
MIRACULOUS ROSARY
On August 6, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. One hundred forty thousand people were killed or injured. There was a home eight blocks (about one kilometer) from where the A-bomb went off. This home had a church attached to it which was utterly destroyed, but the home survived, and so did the eight German Jesuit missionaries who prayed the Rosary in that house faithfully every day. These men were missionaries to the Japanese people. They were non-military, but because Germany and Japan were allies during WW2, they were permitted to live and minister within Japan.
Not only did they all survive with (at most) relatively minor injuries, they also all lived well past that awful day with no radiation sickness, no loss of hearing, or any other visible long-term defects or maladies. Naturally, they were interviewed and examined numerous times (Fr. Schiffer, a survivor, said over 200 times) by scientists and health care people about their remarkable experience. They say, “We believe that we survived because we were living the message of Fatima. We lived and prayed the Rosary daily in that home.”
The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
This beautiful article was found on the "Catholic Mom" website and is linked down below.
The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7, also known as Our Lady of Victory, began as a celebration of the victory of the Battle of Lepanto — securing European Christendom against a Turkish invasion on October 7, 1571. It is an example of victory and the power of the Blessed Mother to shore us up. She nursed Jesus in a manger, stood at the foot of His Cross at the Crucifixion, and now comforts and strengthens us in our trials.

Pope Pius V
Pope Pius V (January 17, 1504 – May 1, 1572), born Antonio Ghislieri (from 1518 called Michele Ghislieri, O.P.), was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from January 8,1566, to his death in 1572. He is venerated as a saint of the Catholic Church. He is chiefly notable for his role in the Council of Trent, the Counter-Reformation, and the standardization of the Roman Rite within the Latin Church. Pius V declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church.

Unidos en el Rosario
“El Rosario es camino de anuncio y profundización, en el que el misterio de Cristo es presentado continuamente en los diversos aspectos de la experiencia cristiana. Es una presentación orante y contemplativa, que trata de modelar al cristiano según el corazón de Cristo” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae n.17)
Durante el mes de Octubre le invitamos a unirse al rezo del santo Rosario por las intenciones de nuestra parroquia, de la Iglesia y del mundo.
La iniciativa de Correo de Amor, te invita a que escribas por lo que quieres que oremos.
CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM
Three years ago, in the spring of 2018, Fr. Alfonso Cely was blessed to visit the Holy Land along with fellow St. Ann Church parishioners. While there, he had the opportunity to stay in Palestine for a few days to see the Basilica of the Nativity, where, according to Catholic tradition, Jesus Christ was born. When Fr. Alfonso visited the Basilica, he spent some time with Christians from Palestine, visiting their homes and learning about their culture.
As we all know Fr. Alfonso, he established a friendship with a young Orthodox Catholic who is very involved with his community. Years have passed, but this friendship has grown stronger. While Fr. Alfonso has not returned to Palestine or Saliba Safar has not traveled to America, they still maintain communication and hope to see each other again someday.
This past year has been very difficult for everyone. COVID-19 has affected all of us in different ways, and countries that have tourism as their primary source of income have had great difficulty meeting their basic needs.
Today, this young man reached out to Fr. Alfonso to call upon the help of our community. He needs assistance helping Palestinian families celebrate Christmas. One hundred fifty children of the Basilica will have a very difficult Christmas given the current circumstances. St. Ann Parish would like to launch a campaign called “Christmas in Bethlehem,” in which we, as a community, would like to offer each of these 150 children a small gift that will be shipped to them.
Through this project, we want to work together with the St. Ann Religious Education program involving our current students to teach them the value of sharing and caring for others in need. If you would like to support this initiative, contact the Church Office at (863) 422-4370.
“Jesus Christ is the only reason for Christmas. What a blessing it is to share the joy of Christmas with children in need and especially in the place where our joy and salvation came to the world.”
