Every year, July 18 through July 26, the Feast of St. Ann, we will recite the Novena to St. Ann 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 sales follow all Masses the weekend of July 26 & 27, 2025!
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.
