We, The Together in Christ Collaborative of St. Ann and St. John the Evangelist, welcome and engage all ages to become the disciples that Jesus is calling all of us to be. United by faith and in the Celebration of the Mass, we embrace the call of Jesus to live our mission to “Go forth and make disciples.” Through evangelization, education, and by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, we will grow together as One Body of Christ.

FATHER, I PRAY FOR THEM

NOTICE: 

Fr. Paul's Facebook page (Paul Ring Ofs) was hacked on August 8th. He is not selling his car, and anyone asking for money for it is a fraud! Please do not send them any money!! If you are on Facebook, please unfriend and report this profile. 

Due to the hack, the parish Facebook pages are also suspended. We are working on getting them restored, but until that happens there will be no livestreaming or posting.

If you have any questions, please contact the parish office. Thank you.

VBS 2025 Registration Form

 

Volunteers also needed to help out! Students entering grades 9 and up and all adults welcome. Contact Matt Brady for more information.

 

Religious Education Registration Form 2025-2026

Registration is also now open for 2025-2026. There are 2 changes to note from the 2024-2025 schedule.  The first is that the Sunday morning class will move from St. John to St. Ann to correspond with the annual changing of the Mass schedule. The 9:30 Mass will continue to be our Family Mass, so it is important that our morning class be at the same location.

The other change relates to our ongoing implementation of the Archdiocese's directive to lower the age of Confirmation to 8th grade. All students in grades 9 and 10 will receive Confirmation in the spring of 2026. Their classes will remain on the same every other week schedule.

Catechists are also needed for all grades. No experience required, just a love of God and our young people!  Please contact Matt Brady if interested.

Registration Form 2025-2026


ADULT CONFIRMATION CLASSES

Classes will be beginning soon for any adult who has not received the Sacrament of Confirmation but is looking to do so. Please contact Matt Brady for more information.

 

***Interested in Becoming Catholic? Never Been Confirmed but Want to be?

We have a program for you!

RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) is the process by which adults who are not members of Church can receive the sacraments and become a Catholic.

We also will be holding a 6 week class for anyone who has  never been Confirmed but has already been Baptized and received First Communion.

If you would like to participate in either class, please email or call Matt Brady.

Prayer for Spiritual Communion by St. Maximillian Kolbe

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever.

Amen.
