As a parish family, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will work to build God's Kingdom by creating opportunities for our parishioners, our community and our visitors, to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, to set their hearts on fire with His love and to challenge them to become fully engaged disciples.

For 135 years, ever since the first procession of thanksgiving to Saint Anne in 1887, Saint Anne Shrine has hosted a Novena from July 18 through July 26 recognizing the goodness of Saint Anne. Traditionally, each evening starts with a procession with the Rosary being recited and Mass being said. On July 26, the final day of the Novena, a Mass for Healing is also said. Grandparents are recognized in a special way that day.
This year we are happy to welcome you back and invite you once again to celebrate with us our Annual Novena to Saint Anne beginning on Monday, July 18th and concluding on Tuesday, July 26th, the Feast Day of Saints Anne and Joachim.
This year’s celebration will focus on the celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly that was established by Pope Francis in January 2021. We adopted the theme “Thou shall bear fruit even in old age.” (Psalm 92:15).
We hope that you will be able to join us for one or more evenings of the Novena, If you can not be with us in person we invite you to join us as we will be live-streaming on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/StAnneStPatrick.
