Monthly Memorial Mass

 At the request of many parishioners, we will begin a monthly memorial mass on the first Saturday of each month.  Those who are enrolled, will have their names recorded in our Parish Prayer Request Book located near the Blessed Sacrament.

Each month, this book will be brought up in the Offertory Procession and all will be invited to pray for these special intentions.  These intentions can be for the living or for the deceased.  Our Parish Family of St. Anne's wishes to share in your sorrow and in your prayer.  We are calling this “Our Lady of Fatima Society”.  Each person enrolled on a yearly basis, will share in the spiritual benefits and good works of the St. Joseph’s Morning Prayer Group, and in a monthly Mass and Rosary shared on the First Saturday of each month in honor of the Blessed Mother.

These Memorial Mass cards will be available at the rectory. You may see an example already set up in the Parish Prayer Request Book.

We are requesting that your old Palm be dropped off at the rectory by February 22nd in order for it to be burned for Ash Wednesday, February 25th.  This is the appropriate way to dispose of your old Palm and make it useful for the church.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel Concert Series Musica Carmelite will be hosting its sixth performance on Sunday, February 15th at 3:30 p.m.  Artistic Director, Rasaan Bourke, will be the concert’s featured piano soloist.  For more information call 201-435-7080.

Greatest Show On Earth

Annulment Information Evening

In conjunction with the Knights of Columbus’ on-going program to present quality exhibitions for Catholics, we are honored to premiere our latest temporary exhibition, “Creating St. Peter’s, Architectural Treasures of the Vatican”.  It is on public display at the Knights of Columbus Museum, 1 State St., New Haven, Connecticut from December 10, 2003 through August 31, 2004.

“Creating St. Peter’s” is composed of more than 100 antique models, paintings, engravings, sculptures and tools from the Vatican. It tells the epic story of the design, construction and restorations of world-famous St. Peter’s Basilica, a masterpiece of the Renaissance.  Displayed in four galleries, it is the largest exhibition ever shown at the museum.  The show’s duration is designed to provide Catholics with the opportunity to see these precious works of art.
