Dear Parish Family, a lot is happening at St. Anne–St. Patrick Parish this fall! We invite you to mark your calendars and take advantage of these opportunities to participate, connect with others, support our parish, and help our neighbors in need.
WEEKEND MASSES ARE MOVING INDOORS
Beginning the weekend of September 12–13
As the weather gets cooler, our weekend Masses will move from the outdoor pavilion back indoors to St. Joachim Parish Center. Beginning the weekend of September 12–13, all weekend Masses will be celebrated inside the Parish Center. We’ve enjoyed our time worshiping together outdoors this summer, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back indoors this fall!
