We Prayed in Thanksgiving for Cardinal Archbishop Joseph Coutts' Visit to St. Ann Parish

St. Ann Roman Catholic Church, 113 S. Kemp St., Florence, SC


This past week, Thursday, July 4th, Fr. John Duraisamy and the parishioners of Saints Ann and Anthony Catholic Churches in Florence, SC were honored to welcome Cardinal Archbishop Joseph Coutts from Pakistan, (Archbishop Emeritus of Karachi, Pakistan), who was visiting in our area. 


He celebrated the Mass at St. Ann Church at 12 noon. Our church was full as we prayed in thanksgiving for all the successes our country has had and prayed in petition for the future of our country and our democracy.


We thank our St. Ann Ladies Guild for the reception they prepared and served, and for all the friends, family and guests who joined us in prayer on Independence Day as we celebrated Mass and shared fellowship.
