JUNE—SEPTEMBER 2016
A newsletter for the parishioners of St. Ann Catholic Parish
A C e l e b r at i o n To R e m e m b e r !
Prayer on the Go!
Dear Lord,
Help us to make
stewardship a way
of life for us, our
families, and our
parish. Open our
hearts to allow the
Holy Spirit to motivate us to follow
Jesus without
counting the cost.
In Your name we
pray,
Amen.
On April 30, 2016, members of
Fr. Henry Petter’s family, our
church community and the community at large gathered to honor
a man who has dedicated his life
to Christ and blessed our church
family for many years. Fr. Henry
celebrated his 70th birthday and
40th Anniversary of his ordination
this year. In appreciation for his
many years of service, the St. Ann
Community presented him with
the “Homeless Jesus” sculpture
created by artist Timothy P.
Schmaltz. The sculpture is a visual reminder of Fr. Henry’s passion
for all to be Christ to one another
and to see Christ in all those we
encounter.
The festivities began with the
unveiling of the sculpture and we
were honored to have guests from
all over the Dallas Diocese, the
Petter Family, Catholic Radio,
and the City of Coppell including
Mayor Karen Hunt. Speakers,
Tony Fleo representing the Monsignor Henry V. Petter Endow-
ment Fund and long time friend,
Msgr. Milam Joseph, spoke about
the lifetime dedication of Fr.
Henry to peace and social justice.
Both reminded us how Fr. Henry
has truly lived the call to be
Christ’s hands and feet to those
around us.

Musings from the Pastor:
Dear Parishioners,
You will be reading this Communique in the beginning of June.
Most of you already know that Fr.
Paolo Capra has been reassigned
to St. Elizabeth Parish in Bonham,
Texas. Fr. Paolo will be the Administrator of that parish for one
year and then will become the
Pastor. We will always be grateful for the two years of priestly
ministry Fr. Paolo has given to St.
Ann. We will most certainly miss
him. Our prayers go with him as
he begins a new phase of priestly
ministry by taking charge of the
parish community of St. Elizabeth
in Bonham, Texas. Fr. Paolo will
come back to visit us on June 12th
and we will have a Farewell Reception for him in the Assembly
Room after the 2pm Spanish
Mass. I hope you will join us to
say “Thank You”’ to Fr. Paolo for
his service here.
We are hoping to have someone
replace Fr. Paolo here at St. Ann.
We do not yet know who that will
be but we are hopeful that the
Diocese will have a solution for us
soon. Meanwhile, we will all pray
for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
St. Ann Parish has been blessed
this year with three of our young
men being ordained. Rev. Mr.
Michael Baynham was ordained on
April 23rd to the diaconate and
will be ordained to the priesthood
in the summer of 2017. Fr. Paul
Bechter and Fr. Emmett Hall
were ordained to the priesthood
at the Cathedral in Dallas on May

Masses here at St. Ann on that
same weekend. We pray for Deacon Michael Baynham as he finishes his studies at the Theological
College in Washington, D.C.
We pray for Fr. Paul Bechter and
Fr. Emmett Hall as they continue
their studies for a couple more
years before being assigned to
parishes in the Dallas Diocese.
We pray also for all our St. Ann
Seminarians…for Ryan
Hiaeshutter as he continues his
studies at the Theological College
in Washington, D.C…for
Desmond Ndikum as he continues
his studies at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans, LA…for
Nicholas Shelton as he continues
his studies at Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving, Texas…and for
Andres Felipe Angulo who is connected with the Community of
the Apostles of the Immaculate
Heart and Divine Mercy in Mexico. Keep Jill Dominy and Erika
Harper in your prayers too. Jill
has entered the Community of
Consecrated Virgins called
“Regnum Christi”, and Erika has
entered the community of Sisters
of St. Joseph of Cluny in the Caribbean.
Finally, let’s not forget to pray
for Stephen Ingram who just completed his Pastoral year here. He
will return to the Theological
College in Washington, D.C. at
the end of summer to begin his
third year of Theological Studies.
On April 30th we celebrated my
70th birthday and 40th anniversary
to the Priesthood. Around 1,800
of my intimate family and friends
joined me for the blessing of the
Homeless Jesus Sculpture, Mass
and food, fun, music and fellowship in the courtyard and Assembly Room. Thank you so much
for the love and affirmation you
showed me on that beautiful day!
I thank God for your love and
friendship. I am honored and
blessed to be your Pastor. May
God continue to bless you and
keep you in His care!
Yours in Christ,
Henry V. Petter
Pastor

New at St. Ann! SNAPS (Special Needs Parent Support) Group
The Slater Family
Parenting a child of any age with special needs can
present many challenges. A group of parents at St.
Ann has recognized the need for parents to get
together and support each other through both the
joys and the difficulties of raising children with
disabilities. Erika Slater and Lori Ring, two St.
Ann mothers of sons with special needs, along with
husbands Peter and Mike, have lovingly created the
SNAPS Parent Support Group. The newly
formed SNAPS group’s mission is to provide a
network of support and friendship in a prayerful
setting. The group meets on the first Friday of
every month at 7:00 p.m. in room 330 in the St.
Ann Center. Childcare is provided with a
reservation. For more information, or to RSVP for
our next meeting, please email Debbie at
crespecialneeds@stannparish.org.

Whatever happened with the “Elect” (unbaptized) and the candidates that you saw at Mass during the Scrutinies at Lent? That
thought may be on your minds as you don’t see them and the
RCIA/RICA team members taking your pew during Mass on Sunday! The Elect and baptized Christians, who were initiated into the
Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil, are now called Neophytes.
“Neophyte” means “newly planted,” meaning that they are now in
full communion with the Church; they will remain a Neophyte
until their first anniversary. There were a total of 61 people who
came into full communion with the Church at the Easter Vigil.
During the Easter season the neophytes entered into the final
phase of RCIA, known as “Mystagogy.” In Greek this means
“entering more deeply into the mysteries,” and this period extends
until Pentecost Sunday. The new Catholics were welcomed to their
first Mystagogy session with a celebration attended by parishioners
and Ministry Leaders of St. Ann, Council members, and by the
Neophytes from the previous Easter season. During this phase they
also received post baptismal catechesis, reflected and shared their
experiences of the Easter Vigil, and how God’s grace has touched
their lives.
A Ministry Fair was also held to familiarize the new Catholics
with the diverse ministries that we have at St. Ann and to reflect on
how they will serve Christ to more actively engage in parish life.
We want to thank the different groups that hosted this event: Alpha, Adult Religious Education, Carnival, Children’s Religious
Education, Christ Renews His Parish, EMHC, Family Life, Greeters, High School Ministry, Lectors, Magi, and Perpetual Eucharistic
Adoration.
The Mystagogy phase ended with the Solemnity of the Pentecost
Feast, at which time the new Catholics were commissioned to go
out and serve in the Church’s mission. We continue to ask our
parishioners for their continued prayers and support as we strive to
reach out to those who are seeking to find a personal relationship
with Christ.
As Saint Francis quoted, “It is in giving that we receive.” This is a
sentiment shared with the RCIA/RCIA teams and those who
served as Sponsors. Should you know of someone who may be interested in joining the Catholic Church, please contact us at
RCIA@stannparish.org or 972-393-5544x1895.

THE COMMUNIQUE
Rejoice 2016!
2016 is a huge year for St Ann. We have numerous milestones to
celebrate. That is why the Rejoice Committee was created. The
Rejoice Committee is a group of over 30 parishioners who have said
YES to the challenge of making 2016 a year to remember.
On April 30, we kicked off our celebrating by unveiling a Homeless Jesus sculpture by Timothy Schmalz. This beautiful artwork was
inspired by Matthew: 25. It is a representation that suggests Christ is
with the most marginalized in our society. The Christ figure is
shrouded in a blanket...the only indication that it is Jesus is the visible wounds on the feet. The life-size version of the work has enough
room that someone is able to sit on the bench.
At the unveiling, Msgr. Milam Joseph and Tony Fleo gave moving
speeches. The unveiling was followed by a Mass honoring Fr Henry,
on the eve of his 40th anniversary of his ordination into priesthood.
After the Mass came the community wide picnic where close to
2,000 enjoyed the festivities.
I’d like to take a moment and thank several members of the Rejoice Committee for their time, talents, and treasures that they used
to help make April 30 such a wonderful evening.
Greg and Audrey Muse, thank you for all the time you spent smoking the tasty brisket for the BBQ sandwiches and thank you Audrey
for having your family deli bake the amazing birthday cakes. You two
really put on quite a spread with the bratwurst and sauerkraut.
Thank you for being willing to jump into the heat (literally) and feed
all of us.
Liz Cole, you astonish me with your energy and willingness to take
on any job needing to be done. From taking over the publicity team,
to managing the installation of our Homeless Jesus, to standing by
my side all day Sunday, before and after all the Masses to take collections — you are my hero! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Jane and Dean Smith, boy do I now know who to go to for help
putting together a video. All you have to do is watch the presentation to know how much time and love you two put into making the
video for Fr Henry. He loved it and his family was very pleased and
spoke highly of working with you on the project.
Kristen Brandt, you made my life much easier with your organization and VIP tent idea. Fr Henry's family loved being treated like
royalty, and you, sweet lady, did that! Thank you for handling all
the invitations and making the day run smoothly.
Jim Doyle, what can I say, except YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! When
you said you would handle the operations you were not kidding.
From sunup to well past the sundown you were on the job! Thank
you dear friend for the countless duties you and your team covered.
The Men's Club, once again I am humbled by the Men's Club for
jumping into the middle of the action and handling the dirty job of
clean up and tear down. I have to tell you guys that I didn't even call
them for help. In all honesty I didn't think about it. I guess I just
assumed I could wave my magic wand and it would all be done. But
PAGE 10
the Men's Club showed up in full force and without a word got the
job done. You guys rock!!!
The Knights of Columbus, thank you for having two members in
full Color Guard attending to our Homeless Jesus and for running
the hot dog and hamburger grills. You were well manned and I enjoyed the fellowship you all have.
Gus Ortiz, thank you for handling the children's area. I noticed it
was packed with happy faces and lots of laughter.
Kris Ollom, thank you for securing the entertainment. R.A.Y.N.
was awesome and I loved the tribute that they and Curtis gave Fr.
Henry. He was very touched by it.
I'd like to thank the publicity team, Tena Allain, Nicole Ameris,
Liz Cole, Debbie Gonzales, KC Kenney, Taylor Kenney, Sandra
Carpenter, and Gerry Whitney for the countless hours all of you
put into organizing the publicity for this event. You guys did an
amazing job with your creative juices.
Tim Barr, thank you for organizing the Mass and reserving all the
pews for Fr. Henry's friends and VIP guests.
And lastly, I'd like to thank Jeff Flory for co-chairing this event with
me. He put in months of preparation even though he could not attend the event.
The April 30 Rejoice event will go down as a day to remember for
the 2,000 parishioners and friends who attended and enjoyed our
hospitality. Everyone who said yes to me way back last fall when we
began working on this should give themselves a pat on the back. It
took a village to pull this event off and all of you played a vital part in
that.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

THE ST. ANN COMMUNITY CARNIVAL MISSION
The Carnival mission is to build fellowship within our parish and to provide the City of Coppell and the
surrounding communities with a well-organized, fun and affordable family weekend.
The St Ann Community Carnival has been a big part of the Greater Coppell Community annual events for the past
24 years. In fact the St Ann Community Carnival was recently voted best annual event by Coppell residents.
The Carnival started as a fund-raiser for the Youth program and expanded into a
three-day event that provides fun and funds for the entire Metroplex area. Carnival
preparation is a year-round activity organized by a dedicated core group of volunteers. During the weekend of the Carnival we'll need more than 1,800 volunteers
to help everything run smoothly. The event attracts more than 20,000
visitors and proceeds help to support not only St. Ann Parish, but also the surrounding community. Organizations that have benefited from previous Carnival
proceeds range from the St. Ann Building Fund, Coppell Civic Departments,
Christian Community Action in Lewisville, Metrocrest Service Center in
Carrollton, various Scouting programs, Kid Country in Coppell, and The North
Texas Food Bank, as well as many others.
The 2016 Carnival will be held
September 9-11.
