    • Welcome to St. Anne’s Parish

      We are a Catholic Christian community rich in a tradition of giving and caring for its Church and its people.  Our mission is to inform and educate through our lived faith at St. Anne's.

      Through the course of each year, hundreds of parishioners volunteer their time and talents for the many special events and celebrations within our Parish.

      In addition, many of our parishioners are active on an ongoing basis in the ministries we see and experience every week as well as in those ministries that are not so outwardly visible.

      2 Corinthians 9:6 "Whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."

    • Diocesan Prayer for Eucharistic Revival


      Lord Jesus Christ,
       
      Who by the gift of your Body and Blood are really present in our lives, 
      hear the prayers of the Church in Worcester.
      Give us the faith of your Church,
      confident in your presence in our Masses, our tabernacles and our lives.

      Give us the faith to offer our lives to you, joined with the perfect sacrifice,
      which you offered on the altar of the Cross.

      Good and loving Shepherd,
      teach us how to lead your children home, that we might long together
      to glorify your name at the Supper of the Lord.

      For you are Lord, forever and ever. 

      Amen.

      HELP NEEDED

      A request has recently been brought to our attention for help for a young woman with 4 kids under the age of four (3 year old twins, a 1 year old with cystic fibrosis, and a newborn) She has no one to help her and is in need of help with errands, meals, babysitting (she had a c-section at the end of July and needs rest).
