That annoying fire alarm beep? Fr. John Trout reminds us in his homily on Sunday, August 10, that it’s like God in our lives - persistent and never giving up on us, no matter our mistakes.

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!
