Are counseling services available for dealing with COVID-19 and its effects?
Saint Anne has established a relationship with 3 professionals in counseling services (two of them are parishioners of Saint Anne) to help people or families emotionally or psychologically affected by the current COVID-19 crisis: Michelle Goodwin, LPC (Saint Raphael Counseling); Claudia Lopez, LPC (Ave Maria Counseling) and Diana Hernández, LAC (Fleur-del-Lis Counseling).
The terms of the agreement with them are as follows: they will offer a consultation, free of charge, for 50 minutes, for registered parishioners of Saint Anne, in English or Spanish, for matters of a psychological and/or emotional nature related to COVID- 19.
In this consultation, which will be through a phone call or video, they will receive support according to the nature of the problem. From there, if the person or family wants to continue with them, they should request a regular appointment as a paying client. Due to current circumstances, they are open to considering pro-bono (without cost) therapy for one month if necessary.

Seamos Iglesia viva: compartiendo la Espera.Es el Segundo Domingo que nos los voy a ver llegar a “la Iglesia”, nuevamente extrañaremos sus sonrisas, sus saludos, sus servicios en los ministerios, sus detalles que siempre han tenido con nosotras, pero especialmente extrañaremos a los niños.Hermanos los invitamos a convertirnos en una IGLESIA viva firme en la Esperanza en Jesucristo quien nos acompaña ahora en como ‘Iglesia domestica” en estas semanas donde la caridad y fe se ven purificadas.
Una esperanza que puede contrarrestar el miedo y el aislamiento, les invitamos a NO dejarnos robar la Esperanza que en estos momento consiste en aprender a vivir y Compartir la Pasión, muerte y Resurrección de Jesús en esta semana Santa en sus propios hogares y a través de los medios de comunicación, somos una Iglesia que fue invitada a salir y llevar la caridad, la solidaridad y la Esperanza, todos Podemos hacemos que “nuestra Iglesia Viva”.
How can I have a Mass said for someone?
All current Mass intentions are continuing to be celebrated by our parish priests. If you would like to have a Mass said for someone please contact the front office.
How can I participate in the Blessing of Homes with the Blessed Sacrament?
The demonstrations of faith lived in our parish over the past year with the visit of the sacramental Jesus to the homes of our parishioners, will forever form part of the history of Saint Anne. We were able to witness the action of grace in a way that is rarely experienced. Where there was sadness, the passage of Christ brought joy. Where there was discouragement, the Eucharist sowed hope. Where someone lived in solitude, Jesus brought his closeness in the Blessed Sacrament.
Many of you have shared with us some of the experiences of those visits and the benefits it produced for you and your children. Just waiting was a great opportunity for the evangelization of families, as well as being a public testimony of your faith among your neighbors. Families kneeling at the entrance of their homes, receiving the blessing with the Blessed Sacrament... "Evangelized" families who evangelize with that eloquent testimony of faith in the mystery of the Eucharist. Thank you for your courageous example and your devotion to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament!
Obviously, now that Sunday Masses are resumed with public attendance, we have returned in the church for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice.
