Novena to St. Ann
-
Every year, July 18 through July 26, the Feast of St. Ann, we will recite the Novena to St. Ann and receive a relic blessing, following every Mass.
The faithful will also receive a special blessing with the relic of St. Ann following each Mass, invoking our patroness' special intercession, particularly on July 26, her Feast Day.
Tapestry candle and rosary sales follow all Masses July 18, 19, 25 & 26, 2026, at the Mary Chapel! (Sales will be in the Gym on 7/26 following the 11:00am Mass.)
Join us on Sunday, July 26 at the 11:00am Mass as we dedicate the altar with a first-class relic of Saint Ann on her Feast Day. A lunch reception will follow in the gym after the Mass. RSVP to Rae Ann Bevington.

About St. Ann
We hear first of St. Ann in the non-biblical gospel of James. Childless after 20 years of marriage, Anna (as named in the book of James) and St. Joachim begged God for a child. An angel appeared separately to the two parents saying they would conceive a child to be called Mary, who was to be dedicated to God. Mary's parents were obedient and we have so much to learn from them and their daughter.
