The Light is On for You
Confessions on all Wednesdays during Lent
will be offered from 6:30-8:00p.m. Individual
confessions will take place in the chapel.
During this time of “The Light is On for You”,
there will be an Exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament in the main church. This gives parishioners the sacred space for prayer and
adoration.

                 Stations of the Cross on Fridays during Lent
                 Saint Ann will have the Stations of the Cross on all Fridays during
                 Lent at 7p.m. Due to the pandemic and in keeping with the safety
                 protocols for celebrations while in church, parishioners participating
                 in-person for the Stations of the Cross are asked to stay in their
                 pews, instead of walking the stations. Only the minister, altar server
                 who is carrying the cross and the prayer leader will move around in
                 the Stations of the Cross.
 Wearing masks and maintaining social distancing are to be observed
        during these Lenten spiritual exercises in the church.
