CDC requirements, everyone participating during
school masses will have to wear masks and their
temperatures taken prior to entering the church.
Thank you for your cooperation."
If you are attending Annunciation and are not registered with the Parish as a member, we have no idea if you are a participating Catholic or not, so please register and if you can not afford to give monetarily please put a blank visitors envelope in the offertory so that we know you are attending. Also for all of you who pay by cash we really appreciate it but if you would put it in an envelope we could track that you are attending as well. It is important when it comes to all the Sacraments. We can not say you are active if we do not know. Thank you…
Now is the perfect time to call the parish office at (252)447-2112 to update your
records. If you did not get info on Mass cancellation please call the parish office. If you are not receiving envelopes or the NCC Catholic Magazine and would like to, call and we will have them sent to you. Update

Diocesan Mass for Life
“A great prayer for life is urgently needed, a prayer which will rise up throughout the world…let us therefore discover anew the humility and the courage to pray and fast so that the power from on high will break down the walls of lies and deceit: the walls which conceal from the sight of so many…the evil of practices and laws which are hostile to life.” (Pope St John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 100)
Come and join us on January 16, 2021, at Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral as we pray and proclaim the dignity of human life. Rosary begins at 10:30; Mass with the bishop starts at 11:00.

Annunciation Catholic School was recently
awarded the prestigious Lewis Award for
excellence in Catholic education by the Diocese of
Raleigh. This honor recognizes our teachers and
staff for excellence during the pandemic. After
the school moved to remote learning in March as
part of Governor Cooper’s directive to the state,
the school reopened with virtual instruction a few
days later. The rapid transition to teaching via
Zoom rather than in the classroom required
quickly formulating a strategy, acquiring resources,
training, and great faith on part of our staff,
students and families that our new venture would
be successful.
The Monsignor Gerald Lawrence Lewis Award
was initiated in 1992 to honor outstanding
educators in the Catholic Schools of the Diocese
of Raleigh and to recognize, promote and
encourage teaching excellence. The Award
Committee visited all schools in the Diocese prior
to announcing awards for 2020. Annunciation
Catholic School is honored to have received this
award named for Monsignor Lewis!
