Celebrating the Culmination of St. Anne's Feast Day

Feast Day of St. Anne’s Celebration

As we conclude the vibrant celebration of St. Anne's Feast Day, our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude for the diverse tapestry that makes up our parish community. On July 28th, we came together to honor St. Anne, sharing an afternoon of international cuisines, music, dance, and fellowship. This event not only highlighted the rich cultural heritage within our parish but also strengthened our unity in faith.

The Feast Day was a beautiful reminder of the importance of coming together as one family, celebrating our unique backgrounds, and appreciating the diversity that enriches our lives. The spirit of togetherness and mutual respect was palpable, reflecting the true essence of our parish community.

In preparation for this special day, we also participated in a Novena on July 24th, which allowed us to prepare and reflect on the virtues of St. Anne spiritually—this period of prayer and reflection deepened our connection with God and each other, setting a sacred tone for the Feast Day celebrations.

As we reflect on this joyous occasion, let us offer a prayer in honor of St. Anne:
