The Hail Mary: Turning to Our Heavenly Mother in Prayer
The Hail Mary is recited more times than any other prayer in the Rosary and is the prayer that we most commonly associate with the Rosary. As we know it today, the Hail Mary consists of three sentences, two of which are scriptural greetings, and the last of which is a petition. Learn more about the Hail Mary in this Word Among Us article.

St. Anne Catholic Church and
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School Launch $7 Million Capital Campaign
This weekend, during all Masses, St. Anne Church parishioners will learn about Building on Tradition - A Vision for the Future.  Please join us in praying for the success of the $7 million capital campaign to make major enhancements to St. Anne Catholic Church and St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School: 

Heavenly Father, as You entrusted Your Son Jesus to  the care of Mary and St. Joseph,  so too You have entrusted the  parishioners of St. Anne to provide for our  parish family.

Stir within us a deep desire to be generous  stewards of the gifts You have given us, so  that following the example of the Holy Family,  and with their heavenly assistance, we may  provide for the needs of our parish and school now and  into the future.

Bless and guide our Capital Campaign  that our efforts may be successful and give  praise and glory to Your name.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
