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."

COFFEE HOUSE RETURNS TO ST. ANNE'S

On November 27, the Adelphi Council Knights of Columbus will host Coffee House in the Fr. Smith Center after the 9:00 Mass and plan to do so monthly from January through April.  All are welcome to join us!

AN ADVENT AFTERNOON OF PRAYER AND PAGEANT

On December 11 at 2:00 PM, there will be an Advent prayer service followed by our Christmas pageant in the church.  Everyone is invited to attend.  This will be followed by cookies, coffee and cocoa in the parish center.  Please join us in celebrating this joyous season!
 

THANK YOU, DEACON BILL

This was a fiscal year of both contrasts and challenges.  The first part of the year, July-December, presented severe financial difficulties.  The combination of having no pastor and the continued effects of Covid put a great strain on our finances, such that we had to borrow $50,000 from savings just to keep afloat.

November saw the Bishop's appointment of Deacon Bill Bilow as parish administrator.  Bill's business acumen and experience, coupled with a much needed reduction in spending, has brought us to our present state of financial stability.  Bill did not accept any salary for his efforts, efforts which were akin to his having a full time job.  He refused even his monthly Deacon's travel allowance.

We, the people of St. Anne's, express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Deacon Bill Bilow and wish him Godspeed in his new assignment.
