Oh good Saint Ann,
Mother of Mary,
Grandmother of Jesus,
Intercede before God
for our families
and their children.
May one generation
hand on to another
faith in God’s promise
and trust that He will
do great things for those
who reverence His name.
On behalf of the parishioners, priests, and staff of St. Ann Catholic Church, welcome to our home on the Internet! We welcome everyone to come and strengthen their faith. We invite you to know about our parish family, experience its fellowship and join us in the celebration of the Eucharist on Sunday and throughout the week.
New parishioners and visitors are always welcome!
Been away from the Church for awhile?
Please consider coming home...
We are Catholic: Welcome Home!
We have several new openings due
to illnesses and vacations: Open hours are: 6:00pm and
8:00pm on Fridays. There are sign up sheets in the back of
church for one time adoration hours. If you are interested in joining Eucharistic Adoration, please call Kathy Thomas at 389-4281.

Blog posts, YouTube videos, an online quiz and resources on Facebook are among the ways U.S. Catholics can learn about the Church’s teaching on issues and involvement in the political process, as part of an initiative of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These resources promote the document, “Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.” Click here to read more: http://www.usccb.org/news/2012/12-072.cfm.

Defend our religious freedom!
