It’s hard to believe it’s already been one year since Fr. John Trout joined our parish family. And what a great year it’s been!

We’re thrilled to welcome Bill Renner as the new Director of Operations at Saint Anne Catholic Community.

The first series of six sessions will be held on Wednesdays from October 8 to November 12, 2025. Times to be announced. Each session will follow the general format of the Arise – Together in Christ process from Renew International. A signup link will be circulated for each session.

We were thrilled to welcome Fr. Joji Thanugundla back to Saint Anne the weekend of June 28–29, where he spoke at all Masses about our Summer Mission partnership with the Archdiocese of Hyderabad, his home diocese in India. Click below to learn more about supporting this cause.

We share with both sadness and gratitude that Breda Barry is leaving her position as Saint Anne’s Associate Director of Liturgy and Music. At the same time, we are pleased to announce that she has accepted the position of Director of Music and Liturgy at Saint Mary of the Annunciation Parish in Mundelein, where Fr. Joji serves as pastor. Breda first joined Saint Anne as a volunteer cantor and later joined our staff, leading the renewal of the Children’s Liturgy of the Word, reviving the Children’s Choir, and supporting liturgical ministries, enhancing our worship spaces throughout the seasons with decor, flowers and more. Her musical talents, deep faith, and warm leadership have left a lasting impact on our parish family. While we will truly miss her, we know her gifts will continue to bless others in her new role. Please keep Breda in your prayers as she begins this new chapter—and join us in thanking her for all she has given to Saint Anne.

We joyfully invite all the faithful from across the Archdiocese of Chicago to visit our church and experience the spiritual blessings of this holy year.

If you would like to serve as a Greeter, Usher, Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Presider for Children's Liturgy of the Word, or Altar Server (grades 4-8), please volunteer. All training will be provided!
