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.

WEEKLY LETTER
December 28, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
As we come to the end of another year and celebrate this beautiful feast day in honor of the Holy Family, I want to thank all of you for all you have done this past year. We have a wonderful parish family, and I’m so grateful to all of you who give of your time, talent, and treasure to make our parish the happy and faith-filled place that it is. And I’m also grateful for the way this parish has handled the liturgical changes to our parish, which has been felt keenly by so many of us. Thank you for being magnanimous, understanding, prayerful, and charitable.
Fr. Jones and I are also so very grateful for your generosity and many kindnesses to us. Every year I am so touched and humbled by your gifts, generosity, and acts of charity toward me. I am most especially thankful for your prayers – especially this year, which has not been an easy one for me. Please be assured of my earnest and grateful prayers for all of you this Christmas Season, as well as those of Fr. Jones.
Please keep in mind that Thursday, 01 January 2026, is a federal holiday, which means our office will be closed both Wednesday and Thursday this week. As it is also a holy day of obligation, we will have Mass on Wednesday, 31 December 2025, at 6 p.m., and two Masses on 01 January: 9 a.m. and 12 noon. Please be sure to attend one of those Masses. As always, I will hear confessions between the Masses on 01 January from 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. There will be no 5:30pm confessions this Thursday.
I do hope that you’ve all been enjoying the Christmas Octave by spending this special time with family and friends, and that our Infant Lord will shower you with His abundant graces as we enter a new year.
Sincerely yours in the Christ Child and His Virginal Mother,
Fr. Reid
