welcome to
st. anne church
Serving East Moline and the surrounding area since 1919.
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.
Fr. Julien Esse, SMA
Our Path to Our Lady of Grace
As we get closer to our official parish merger, certain parish ministries, paid positions and volunteer areas will be combined, with volunteers from both churches joining.
These areas include music, office staff, Director of Religious Education role and matters regarding religious education, maintenance staff and volunteers, and our website and social media presence. Other areas that already are getting close to coordinating together include the lector schedule, greeters, and ushers.
Our future family is beginning to take shape! Thank you to all those assisting and working towards the official creation of Our Lady of Grace Parish!
“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!
Eucharistic Ministers Ministry
St. Anne Parish and St. John Parish are seeking parishioners to volunteer to be Extraordinary Ministers of Communion.
Once trained for this ministry, it opens up other opportunities to distribute Holy Communion other than just at Mass. An Extraordinary Minister can take Holy Communion to parishioners in nursing homes, hospital, or homebound.
If you would like to be trained, please contact either parish office before April 4. There will be training session held on Tuesday, April 8, from 6:00-7:30 pm at St. Anne and one on Thursday, April 10, from 6:00-7:30 pm at St. John.
Fr. Julien is also asking any current Extraordinary Ministers to attend 1 of the sessions as a refresher and so that we may also update everyone’s mandate with Peoria.
