PASTOR'S CORNER
Welcome to St. Ann’s Parish Website!
I invite you to explore our website as a means of getting to know St. Ann’s and all that we do to serve Christ and one another. While we are well known in Charlotte for having a beautiful church and beautiful liturgy, what’s most beautiful about our parish is our parishioners! We are a family-oriented, thriving parish just south of Uptown Charlotte, filled with people committed to worshiping God through the fullness of our Catholic tradition and serving the poor and needy with charity and compassion. Come join us for Mass and help us as we seek to glorify God, bear witness to His Truth, and show forth His Love.

HOMILIES
WEEKLY LETTER
August 3, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
This afternoon the assignments for Deacon Peter Townsend and Seminarian Clement Akerblom come to an end. While both of them are parishioners of St. Ann’s, it’s been wonderful having them officially assigned to us for the summer. Please pray for them and all the young men from our parish in the seminary. This coming year will be a big year for St. Ann’s as 3 men from our parish will be preparing for priestly ordination next Spring: Deacon Peter Townsend, Deacon Robbie Bauman, and Deacon David Carter, FSSP.
In addition to these men, the following men from our parish will also be in the seminary this coming year:
Will Adderly – St. Joseph College Seminary
Clement Akerblom – Mt. Saint Mary’s/Athenaeum of Ohio in Cincinnati, OH
Brendan D’Amato –Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton, NE for the FSSP
Patrick Gallagher – St. Joseph College Seminary
Theodore Holthe – St. Joseph College Seminary
Revon Landreneau – St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, MD, for the Diocese of Charleston
Please pray for all these men, that they may discern well their vocations and persevere to the priesthood if it be God’s will. Pray, too, that even more young men from our parish and diocese will pursue a vocation to the priesthood.
Lastly, this afternoon at 3pm, we are going to have a special Rosary Rally/Holy Hour to pray for our parish and the future of the Traditional Latin Mass. In particular, we’ll be praying for God’s will re: the Latin Mass in our diocese, and for the grace to accept whatever our Lord wills for us. We will expose the Blessed Sacrament at 3pm, pray the Rosary together, and continue with Adoration until 4pm, completing the Holy Hour with Benediction.
In Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Reid
