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."
Our dear Father, we ask you to come to us from heaven and surround us with your goodness and mercy, with your light and life. We are weak, poor, and lost just when we need to stand firm and hold on. But you are faithful. You stay by us and help us. Continue to help and sustain us, we pray. Do not let our lives be lived in vain. May something of eternity be with us in all we have to face in life, so that over and over again we may find courage to start anew. Amen.
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
May 2023 see us living in peace, loving one another following the example of the Holy Family, and living always according to God’s will and not our own as our Blessed Mother does. Happy New Year, everyone!
