Month of the Holy Rosary
When we pray the rosary we meditate on the great Christian mysteries by looking at the icons of Jesus, birth suffering, death, resurrection from various angles. In this brief video Bishop Robert Barron helps us understand the importance of praying the rosary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE247jOt4AA
Pastoral Council-Parish Leadership
The St. Anne Pastoral Council is beginning the discernment process for new members. Your Pastoral Council consults with Fr. Colin on setting the direction for St. Anne Parish, engaging in pastoral planning, and evaluating our ministerial efforts. Candidates need to be active registered members of our Parish community living a life of prayer and spiritual growth. If you are interested, have questions, or know someone who would be a great addition, please contact the Pastoral Council Chair, Jean Hushebeck (jeanhushebeck@gmail.com).

Comfort Room NOW OPEN
We are so pleased that so many parents are coming with young children! Parents now have the option (not required!) to use the comfort room during both weekend masses. Due to Covid restrictions there is a limit of 4 parent/child couples who may use the room at one time. There is no sign up option, simply an invitation to share the room as needed. Best of all parents can still participate in Mass by watching the livestream. The comfort room is located in the west end of the church.
All Catholics in Western Washington are invited to submit the names of those lost to Covid. Click here to submit a name. These names will be placed in a special Book of the Dead and carried in procession during the Mass.
