Prayer at St. Ann
Parish Prayer Lists
Each week, the Pastoral Care office prepares three prayer lists. All three carry the same level of importance, but they differ in terms of how widely they are shared with the public.
- Announced: Names read aloud during weekend Masses. Reserved for those who are hospitalized, seriously ill or at the end of life. Names announced only with the individual’s permission.
- Bulletin: A list of names of those requesting public prayer and listed only with the individual’s permission.
- Let Us Pray book: A book of names that is placed on the altar during the presentation of the gifts during weekend Masses.
To be included on any of these three prayer lists, contact the Pastoral Care office at 770-552-6400 x6019.
Other Prayer Options
The parish also hosts a prayer ministry dedicated to prayer without ceasing. The Prayer Line Ministry is in addition to St. Ann Pastoral Care and is open to anyone who needs prayer, not just parish members.
