Are you interested in the Catholic Faith?

St. Ann Parish will soon begin a new journey in faith to share the richness of the Catholic Church and our parish family. We invite you to learn what the Church teaches, and be introduced to some of our parish members. These sessions also are opportunities for you and others that you may wish to invite to ask those perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the Church. These gatherings are for inquirers and are open to people who are not baptized as well as those who are baptized Christians from Protestant or Evangelical backgrounds. The first sessions will begin in September. To register or to learn more about our R.C.I.A. program please contact Fr. Dan at the parish office.

Marriage Matters

 During the traditional wedding season, here are some pointers about planning for marriage at st. Ann’s Parish.

† One of the couples themselves must book an appointment with Father Dan or Father Duy to discuss wedding plans.

† Priests and parish staff will not discuss availability of dates by phone, fax or e-mail

† Helpful information about preparing for marriage can be found in our pamphlet racks. The same information is also posted on our parish website.

Rest in Peace
