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.

Totus Tuus 2025
Registration is Open!
It’s registration time for Totus Tuus at St. Anne! Totus Tuus is a Latin phrase that means “totally yours”, a motto given to us by Saint John Paul II in describing his dedication to Jesus through Mary. During one week this summer, we will provide Catholic children entering grades one through twelve, a prayer filled environment that will help them become closer to Christ through His Mother, Mary. This program combines fun with faith filled experiences, including daily Mass for the Day Program. A creative and enthusiastic team of young adults from the Diocese of Peoria will help youth come to know and devote themselves to Mary, Our Mother. In 2025, Totus Tuus will focus on the Sacraments and the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. The day program is grades 1-6, from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, June 23-27. The fee for the day program is $40.00 per child or $100.00 for three or more children in the same family. Registration for the day program will be limited to 75 participants. Children in the day program will need a sack lunch each day. We also request one boxed snack to share during the week. The evening program is for Jr. High and High School (grades 7 through 12) students, from 6:30-8:30 pm, June 22-26. The fee for the evening program is $30.00 per child. Registration is limited to 75 participants. Registration ends when we reach or participant capacity so register soon!
