At Saint Ann’s we are committed to “…transmitting the Gospel, as the Christian community has received it, understands it, celebrates it, lives it, and communicates it in many ways.”
In order to do this, we as a total parish community must participate in church life together as we nurture the faith of all ages. By helping each other on our faith journey, we foster a living environment for the growth in faith of all generations.
Our goals therefore mirror the Church …
“… to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith.”
“… to put people not only in touch, but also in communion and intimacy, with Jesus Christ.”

Teaching Tuesdays for Adults
Saint Francis de Sales referred to Education as the Eighth Sacrament of the Catholic Church. He felt strongly about his role as teacher and educator of the faithful in his care.
To help our young people deepen their faith with a better understanding of the meaning of what is being taught and experienced through the Church, the sacraments and in their lives. Our goal is to bring every student to a closer and fuller relationship with Jesus Christ.
In that same Spirit, Saint Ann Parish is committed to the continued education of its adult parishioners. Classes on topics of the Catholic Faith will be offered each Tuesday at 10:30 am and at 6:30 pm. Each class will be about an hour long.
Teaching Tuesday times and topics are published each week in the bulletin.
