PASTOR'S CORNER
Welcome to St. Ann’s Parish Website!
I invite you to explore our website as a means of getting to know St. Ann’s and all that we do to serve Christ and one another. While we are well known in Charlotte for having a beautiful church and beautiful liturgy, what’s most beautiful about our parish is our parishioners! We are a family-oriented, thriving parish just south of Uptown Charlotte, filled with people committed to worshiping God through the fullness of our Catholic tradition and serving the poor and needy with charity and compassion. Come join us for Mass and help us as we seek to glorify God, bear witness to His Truth, and show forth His Love.

WEEKLY LETTER
July 21, 2024
Dear Parishioners,
This week we are hosting our annual Summer Catechesis program for our young parishioners. I am very grateful to our Faith Formation Director, Virginia Blatchford, and her assistant, Clare Beltran, as well as all of our Summer Catechesis volunteers, for all of their efforts. This program takes a lot of planning and lots of hands, and I’m thankful for all who are helping. This program is always worth the effort as it helps establish a firm catechetical foundation for our children.
If you’ve missed Deacon Joseph Yellico’s first two sacred art class these past two weeks, he’s continuing with his last class this week. It’ll be this Thursday at 7pm in the Allen Center. I’ve been getting wonderful feedback on the class, so I’m sure it’s worth your time.
Again, I do hope many of you are praying the Litany of the Precious Blood. My encouragement is to pray it every day this month (July is the month dedicated to the Precious Blood) in reparation for sin, for protection from evil, and/or for the Poor Souls. Copies of this litany are easily found online.
I do hope everyone is having a peaceful and happy summer!
In the Precious Blood of Jesus,
Fr. Reid
