Lots of food, fun and catching up with friends despite the heat and intermittent rain! Many thanks to all who brought dishes to share and helped with the set up and break down for our Parish Picnic. And a special shout-out to the ACME in Manoa Shopping center for the burger donation!

Parishioners and family members enjoyed delicious homemade meatballs, pasta, and salad. So many hardy laughs, full bellies, and good times. Until next time!

This past Thursday, in commemoration of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Italian consulate hosted Massimo. Massimo presented beautifully on the Shroud of Turin and the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe, going beyond the common details to show links between the two fabrics, historical context, and deep theological meaning. Thank you Massimo for such an insightful and informative evening!

On Saturday, December 7th, Annunciation BVM’s marriage ministry, Cana’s Vineyard, hosted Meghan Cokeley, the Director of the Office for the New Evangelization for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, to present on The Five Keys to Unbound Prayer for all married couples in the Archdiocese.

We recognize how critical our First Responders are in our community. This past Sunday, we took the time to show that appreciation by beseeching God for their protection, and then putting our hands to flip the tables and serve them!
