Please join us this Friday, March 25 as we join our Holy Father Pope Francis in consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

We Need To Hear From You! What Are St. Anne Parish’s Strengths, Weaknesses, And Opportunities?

The Archdiocese of Detroit Department of Communications shares with you a statement from Archbishop Vigneron concerning the situation in Ukraine: "Pope Francis has spoken of his heartfelt anguish and concern for the worsening situation in Ukraine.

This is the antiphon line for the Church’s daytime prayer today 12/1/21 which happens to be on the day the supreme court is hearing arguments on a landmark abortion case: “This is the good news the prophets foretold: The Savior will be born of the Virgin Mary”. Indeed! Precious babies being born is good news! Please let us pray for an end to abortion. God Bless You! Fr. John

Congratulations to Fr. John Kopson who was just appointed Moderator of the In Solidum team of priests who, with the other priests of the team, will lead the newly formed Central Macomb Vicariate Family 3 effective July 1, 2022.

Yesterday Fr. John was a guest homilist at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica during their 7pm Mass celebrating the Feast Day of St. Therese. In case you missed we are pleased to share this inspiring homily.

I like this picture I took today on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The flag flying at half mast that is just about (but not yet) fully enclosed by the chain fence makes me think of being in danger….the rising waters of the flood are up to our chins but has not yet covered us. We are still alive and we live for Jesus. We are fighting for the salvation of souls. We have to evangelize/preach the Gospel! In the background are the blue skies.  Help is on the way. Jesus will rescue us. We just have to battle in the meantime as He protects, encourages, and strengthens us. Let’s roll. God Bless You, Fr. John Kopson

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. The Equality Act, which is coming up for a vote in the Senate soon, in many ways does the opposite and needs to be opposed. Instead of respecting differences in beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith.

With proud and grateful hearts we celebrate our 8th Graders Graduation Day this weekend! Here is Fr. John's farewell note to our St. Anne School 8th Grade grads:

Recently our school and parish community gathered for special Eucharist Processions in honor of the Feast of Corpus Christi. During the school procession students and staff followed Father John around the church in prayer. It was a beautiful way for our school to come together to honor the Blessed Sacrament.

As we celebrate the Corpus Christi this Sunday please join us at the conclusion of the 11:00am Mass when we will have a Eucharistic Procession on and around our parish property.

This is CSA Weekend! Thank you to those of you who have already mailed your CSA pledge cards as this ensures we Fuel the Mission to witness Christ.

At the close of Catholic Schools Week our students created a luminary path to remind of us our Catholic faith.

There will be no daily morning Mass the week from Monday, January 25th – Saturday, January 30th. There will be Confessions at 4:00pm on Saturday. Have a great week!

I write this letter to you with gratitude in my heart.

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests.  They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.

The Archdiocese of Detroit announced today the groupings of the family of parishes.
