A destination for faith~
St. Anne is a faith filled community that embraces diversity and has adapted to the changing environment while maintaining its core Catholic values and identity. By remembering those who have come before us, we honor the legacy of the diversity of our founders who, molded by God’s blessings and the holy priests He empowered, joined together to establish our church.

Our Path to Our Lady of Grace
A Gift to Connect Us
Beginning June 28, we will be known as Our Lady of Grace Parish. But what makes this title of our Blessed Mother uniquely appropriate for our new parish?
The title of Our Lady of Grace is attributed to the angel Gabriel, who in Luke 1:28 referred to Mary as “…full of grace”.
The image is most recognizable from the Miraculous Medal. However, Our Lady of Grace is actually depicted in 3 distinct images dating back as far as 1152. While each unique, these 3 images all represent the humility of Mary (bowed head) and her grace (hands extended upon her earthly children).
As we merge our 3 distinct parishes into one under the patronage of Our Lady, may we also show humility and grace toward each other and the world.
“Our Path to Our Lady of Grace” will provide weekly updates and new information regarding the merger of St. John’s, St. Anne’s and St. Mary’s. As we venture on this new journey together, we ask Our Lady of Grace to pray for us!
WINGS May Day Meeting
Our next WINGS meeting will take place on May Day, Thursday, May 1st, at 6:30 pm in Cleary Hall.
We will be planning our May Mass to honor our Blessed Mother, as well as discussing a special June meeting activity.
All women are invited, and we hope to see you there!

Pope Francis~
December 17, 1936-April 21, 2025
As we mourn the death of Pope Francis, let us join with Catholics worldwide in praying for the repose of his soul.
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
Please pray for our Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly known as RCIA). They will be brought into the Catholic Faith on Holy Saturday, at the Easter Vigil mass at St. Anne.
