The Come and See Prayer Group meets every Monday at 9:30 a.m. in the Ministry Center in the St. Ann Room.  All are welcome to join us.

The Adoration Ministry offers an invitation to quiet prayer. Faith brings to one’s life a thirst to know the Lord, to know God’s will and to know oneself better; and quiet prayer provides a time to listen and to present to the Lord individual cares and hopes for families, friends and oneself. Every Tuesday at St Ann Church, following the 8:45 A.M. Mass, a day of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament begins and continues until 6:30 P.M., prior to the 7:00 P.M. Novena Mass. The Adoration Society ensures that the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone. 

Formerly known as the “CCD” program, the St. Ann Parish School of Religion (PSR) offers children in grades K-12 of non-Catholic academic schools opportunities for formal religious education. Classes meet once a week and are taught by volunteer Catechists who share the vision of teaching the Gospel of Jesus to those people whom they meet. The PSR program provides also for those children ages 5 years and older who are in need of religious education for receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation (grade 11). 

Today, growing into adulthood means learning to make decisions about drugs, crime, gangs, peer pressure, and more. For more than 90 years the Boy Scouts of America have provided a strong, values-driven program that strengthens character, develops good citizenship and enhances both mental and physical fitness in participating youth—traits that prepare young people to make the appropriate decisions for the present and the future

Members of Sewing Seams of Faith, established in September 2010, meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the Parish Ministries Center to share their love through prayer and blanket-making, thereby promoting prayer among their members and the recipients of the fruits of their labor. Working individually at their homes, members sew, crochet and knit blankets, which, when finished, are blessed and donated to anyone who is mentally, physically or spiritually ill or who otherwise may be in need of the comfort that is inspired by the loving hearts and woven into the fabric of each blanket by the skilled hands of the blanket-makers.
