A best practice for any good practicing Catholic, as St. Louis de Montfort kindly recommends, is to participate in the Most Holy Rosary with others. St. Louis speaks of God’s Math. When you pray together as a group, then you receive the benefits, the Holy Graces, from each group member’s devotion. You are invited to participate in the Most Holy Rosary in the Main Church each Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. and each Saturday evening in the church at 4:30 p.m. just before the Holy Vigil Mass. In addition, we pray the Holy Rosary each Wednesday and Thursday just after 9:00 a.m. Daily Mass at the start of Adoration and Friday at 9:30 a.m. after the morning Mass (Latin chant). Come join us

We are always in need of those who can open their home to our Lenten small groups that meet once a week during the Holy Season of Lent. The parish provides materials for spiritual growth. We need those who can lead small groups in study, prayer, and discussion of these materials, which are theme-based.

All married parishioners are welcome to be a part of this fun and important ministry that is intended to grow the married community at St. Anne’s. We plan to have fun date nights (babysitting included), talks, and retreats to support and foster married life. We will include a marriage advocacy program.

The M&M Bible Study (Meeting & Meditation) takes place on Thursday mornings from 9:30–11:00 a.m. in the Martha Mary Social Hall. This Bible-based study group selects faith-based books to study and discuss. Sessions usually last about six weeks, so there are several sessions during the year (publicized in the bulletin), usually meeting August through May. All are welcome to join!

Pray. That’s what Prayer Chain members do. They pray for parishioners, priests, families, friends, each other, special intentions, the living, and the deceased. They pray at a time convenient to them and use prayers that they prefer. Meetings are not necessary for this ministry.

The St. Monica Club is intended to support one another through prayer for loved ones who have fallen away from the Faith. We meet once a month and use the book “Return: How to Draw Your Child Back to the Church” by Brandon Vogt. For more information, an individual reflection guide, and a group discussion guide, please visit www.wordonfire.org/return.

This Rosary group and Bible study is open to all women in the parish. The group meets in Holy Family Hall at 10:00 a.m. to pray the Rosary and continues with a Bible study until 11:30 a.m. (usually a book in the New Testament, but other programs are used as well). Meetings are from September through May. It is a very casual group that likes to have fun and fellowship together, and little prep work is required. All are welcome to come for the Rosary, Bible study, or both!
