The purpose of this ministry is to provide an avenue for young families within the parish to grow in friendship and community with one another, offering support and encouragement to both parents and children as they walk along their spiritual journey. All families with children from infancy through elementary school are invited to participate in this ministry. By fostering the growth of friendship and prayer within our own families, we hope to bring the light of Christ to the Church and the rest of the world.
“Thus the little domestic Church, like the greater Church, needs to be constantly and intensely evangelized…the family, like the Church, ought to be a place where the Gospel is transmitted and from which the Gospel radiates…the future of evangelization depends in great part on the Church of the home.”
- Saint John Paul II

A few days ago: Basketball w/ our Priests @ Freestone Park - 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Hello All!
Our monthly basketball game with our priests happened.
Next month: Come and challenge them and others in a friendly game of basketball. We will have a few warm-up scrimmage games for the first hour with all the youth, and then the young adults vs priests for the remainder of the night. We will begin playing at 7:30pm at the basketball courts at Freestone Park. Hope to see you there! All are welcome! Bring a friend.
In our Lady’s arms,

Parking Sept 9th - Whatever God Wants
RETREAT ATTENDEES:
We are so excited for the retreat this Saturday! People will be coming from all over the state to participate in this beautiful opportunity to celebrate the sacrament of marriage.
With that in mind, please remember that the St. Anne parking lot fills up quickly!! Out of consideration for our guests, some of whom will be traveling hours to attend, we ask our generous St. Anne parishioners to please park off campus in the surrounding neighborhoods. This will allow the parking lot to be used for those who are unfamiliar with the area.
*Edited to add: There will be a drop off zone in front of the CGS building for anyone wishing to drop off passengers who are unable to comfortably walk. There will also be neighborhood maps available which will indicate the areas in the surrounding neighborhoods where street parking is acceptable.
We will host weekly, monthly, and quarterly events, so come join us! For upcoming events watch the bulletin, the City or contact Alia Suchomski at alias@stanneaz.org.
