Farewell and Best Wishes to Breda Barry

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.
