Pope Benedict XVI in honor of the 150th Anniversary of St. John Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests, has asked us to celebrate the "Year of the Priests". Now some of you may have been hearing about this in your parishes. Here at the school we have been looking for different ways to honor our priests such as novenas, rosaries and cards.  In the spring, we would like to have a celebration to share our heartfelt gratitude to Msgr. Droll, Msgr. Plagens and Fr. Emilio. Their constant support and commitment to their vocation and St. Ann's School is appreciated. Does this mean these are the only priests that we honor? No, the support of the other Midland parishes is also appreciated by the students and families of our school. These men work quietly representing Christ's words and actions. What a gift for the church and for us all! Please keep them in your prayers.
