One
Wednesday a month: The Event at St. Ann’s is held on one Wednesday a month
during the school year, in the Church.
The opening band (different each time) starts playing at 7. Then at 7:30, John Angotti, Kevin and Bethany
Paige, and an assortment of other talented musicians perform several
religious-themed songs. About midway
through the concert, Father Bruce (our pastor) begins delivering a homily, or
other members of the parish present a program, and the program is usually
interspersed with music which matches the theme of the presentation. I don’t know the exact dates for the rest of
the Events for this school year, nor do I know about the Events for next year,
but as soon as I can find that information, it’ll be posted here. I went to all of the Events for the 2001-2002
school year, and I was never disappointed by either the music or the program.
The
Diocese of Memphis
Natural Family Planning Center holds several Mother/Daughter and Father/Son
seminars throughout the year. Parents,

Sunday
nights: For any high school students in the Memphis area: every Sunday night from 6-8:30, the St. Ann’s
Senior High Youth Group meets, usually in the St. Ann’s cafeteria. There is a social hour until 6:45ish, then
the announcements for that week are read, and then there is a different program
each week. Either a speaker such as Max
Maxwell or Mary Pat Van Epps comes to talk about safe driving or natural family
planning (respectively), or they have a free night, or they have a night of
games, usually in the gym. Other
programs include line dancing night (learn several different line dances…fun stuff),
topical discussion night (pretty self-explanatory), and different prayer
programs. Every June they go to
