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
May 25, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
A blessed and happy Memorial Day weekend! As we pray at Mass this weekend, let’s be sure to pray for the repose of the souls of our fallen soldiers who died in the service of our country.
This Thursday, 29 May 2025, we will have our annual Latin Mass in honor of Our Lord’s Ascension. This year we will use this occasion to bless our new stained-glass windows. These windows, dedicated to the honor of the 12 Apostles, were several years in the making, and I’ve been delighted to hear from so many of you of how happy you are with them. Please join us for what is always a very beautiful Mass.
Our annual Homeschool Graduation is this coming Saturday, 31 May 2025. The 4:30pm Mass that evening will serve as the Baccalaureate Mass, with the graduation ceremony to follow. Let’s be sure to pray for all our graduating young people as they head on to the next stage of their lives.
Looking ahead to next month, please be sure to pray for our parishioners Peter Townsend and Robbie Bauman. They are being ordained as deacons on Saturday, 07 June 2025, at St. Mark’s in Huntersville. Peter and Robbie have both just completed their 3rd year of major seminary and have just one more year until priesthood. Robbie will serve as our deacon at the 8am Mass on Sunday, 08 June 2025, and he will preach at the 12:30pm Mass that same day. Peter will serve as deacon and preach at the 10:30am on Sunday, 08 June 2025. Please pray for them and for their seminarian brothers being ordained with them.
Lastly, we will have our annual Corpus Christi celebration June 19-22. We will begin with a Corpus Christi Latin Mass on Thursday, 19 June 2025 at 7pm. That will be followed by 40 Hours of Eucharistic Adoration, which will conclude on Saturday, 21 June at 4pm. As always, we will have our annual Corpus Christi procession on Sunday, 22 June after the 10:30am Mass. Keep an eye out for information on how to sign up for an hour of adoration that weekend.
Trusting in Our Lady,
Fr. Reid
