You are invited to join our new Weekly Study/Discussion on a new podcast, The Catechism in a Year (with Father Mike Schmitz) which will be held on Wednesdays from 6:05 to 7:00 pm in the St. Anne Parish Hall, beginning this Wednesday, January 4th. Because there is a Healing Mass on Wednesday this week, we will do a brief introduction and adjourn our meeting at 6:45PM. If you would like to come earlier, Eucharistic adoration is offered beforehand, ending with a special 5:55 pm Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in the church.
