Our Lenten Parish Retreat begins on the Second Sunday of Lent, Sunday, February 28, 2021. The retreat will take place in the church from 7-8PM and will include Vespers, Scripture, Reflection and Benediction (Tool: Ste. Anne's Book of Prayers). Please bring your Ste. Anne's Book of Prayers to utilize during the retreat. We hope you will join us as we share our Lenten journey together. 

"Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart." (Joel 2:12). This Scripture begins the first reading on Ash Wednesday, and sets the tone for the entire season of Lent. To reconcile with God is the reason for the sacrament of reconciliation. According to the Rite of Penance, "It is therefore fitting to have several penitential celebrations during Lent, so that all the faithful may have an opportunity to be reconciled with God and their neighbor and so be able to celebrate the paschal mystery in the Easter Triduum with renewed hearts" (No. 13).

During Lent, a priest will be available after daily
and weekend Masses for confessions 

Stations of the Cross will begin on Friday, March 5th at 6:30PM in church and take place every Friday of Lent. The Archdiocesan guidelines and protocols require that no pamphlets be distributed. You should not follow the celebrant around the church, but should remain in your socially-distanced places in the pews, as at Sunday Mass. A number of possible forms of the Stations can be found on the USCCB website by clicking below.
