Upcoming Events
Priests are essential to our Catholic faith, as only these holy men
can transform bread and wine into the life-giving Body and Blood
of Christ. The Holy Spirit has blessed the Diocese of Joliet with an
abundance of vocations to the priesthood.
Currently, our diocese has 27 men in seminary formation, which
costs $53,900 a year per seminarian. To ensure we are always
able to support our seminarians both prayerfully and financially,
the Diocese of Joliet has established this second collection.
At Masses on the weekend of November 7th & 8th, our parish will
take up a second collection for this effort. Gifts will be invested in
an endowment designated specifically for seminarian education.
Please prayerfully consider supporting this second collection.

Each and every one of us, from young to old, can evangelize, can do our “supreme duty ” in about two to three minutes a day using social media. Our parish is posting inspirational and spiritual material on our Facebook Page, on our webpage and through email blasts to our parishioners every single day! You can help us in this New Evangelization, in the effort to build up the Church and the Kingdom of God right here at St. Ann’s, by taking the time to do three simple things on your Facebook Page.
First, you can follow St. Ann Parish on Facebook. It’s easy to do and will ensure that you receive all of our posts in your newsfeed. You can invite all the people you know in the area who are on Facebook, especially if they are members of our parish, to follow our Facebook page so that they will also receive our inspirational posts. And, finally, you can share our posts with your friends on Facebook.
The simple act of following us, inviting your friends and contacts to follow us and sharing our posts with people in the greater Channahon area will help us bring the Good News to so many people through short (well, except for my posts) inspirational posts.
Friday, October 17th, 2025 the Class of 2027 received the Rite of Lector at a Mass at St. Mary Mokena, which included Dave Hartke. Please continue to keep these men and their families in your prayers as they continue their formation. Special thanks to Bishop Spies for his encouraging words.
