Welcome to St. Anne’s Parish
We are a Catholic Christian community rich in a tradition of giving and caring for its Church and its people. Our mission is to inform and educate through our lived faith at St. Anne's.
Through the course of each year, hundreds of parishioners volunteer their time and talents for the many special events and celebrations within our Parish.
In addition, many of our parishioners are active on an ongoing basis in the ministries we see and experience every week as well as in those ministries that are not so outwardly visible.
2 Corinthians 9:6 "Whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."

Diocesan Prayer for Eucharistic Revival
Lord Jesus Christ,
Who by the gift of your Body and Blood are really present in our lives,
hear the prayers of the Church in Worcester.
Give us the faith of your Church,
confident in your presence in our Masses, our tabernacles and our lives.
Give us the faith to offer our lives to you, joined with the perfect sacrifice,
which you offered on the altar of the Cross.
Good and loving Shepherd,
teach us how to lead your children home, that we might long together
to glorify your name at the Supper of the Lord.
For you are Lord, forever and ever.
Amen.

INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS
A Ready Heart
ALFRED DELP
Mary is the most comforting of all the Advent figures. The Word became flesh, and in the holy place of a motherly heart the earth gave birth to a world of God-humanity. What good does it do us to sense and feel our misery unless a bridge is thrown over to the other shore? What help is it to be terrified at our lostness and confusion unless a light flashes up that is a match for darkness and always is its master? What good does it do us to shiver in the coldness and hardness in which the world freezes as it goes deeper astray, unless we also come to know of the grace that is mightier than the peril of oblivion?
Advent’s holiest consolation is that the angel’s annunciation met with a ready heart in Mary.
