Reflections from St. Ann DC

What does Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer have to do with Jesus?

This Sunday, Monsignor Watkins reminds us to remember that Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birthday. We should celebrate the HOLY-day the way Christ would want; and give Him the gifts He would like to receive: for us to know Him, love Him, and Serve him.

This Sunday, Monsignor reflects on how blessed we are that our God humbles himself to become man so man may share in the divinity of God.

Fr. Ivan Pertine speaks about the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in the hearts of the holy, the Catholic Church, and the greater world on the Solemnity of Christ the King.

Fr. Maximo Stock describes how Jesus's teachings about the end of the world should bring with them a greater amount of seriousness in our lives.

This Sunday, Monsignor James Watkins reflects on beginnings and ends. He discusses the end of the liturgical year and the tendency of people to focus heavily on endings and beginnings. He remembers the departed souls and commemorates their life and new life in heaven.

In this week's homily, Fr. Maximo challenges us: No one is so poor that they have nothing to give. God will be generous with you.

This Sunday, Monsignor James Watkins invites us to reflect and be grateful towards those who have and continue to be incredibly generous towards us with their time, talent, and treasure; and invites us to find ways to bestow onto others the generosity we have received from Christ.

Fr. Ivan Pertine discusses what it takes to love the Lord with your whole heart, intellectual capacity, and personal will—wow!

Today Fr. Ivan Pertine speaks with us about learning from the saints and responding to Christ's call to holiness.
