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
September 28, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
This coming Wednesday, 01 October 2025, we will offer our last Latin Mass at St. Ann’s. Per our normal Wednesday schedule, the Mass will be at 6pm. Rather than a low Mass, this will be a solemn high Mass, and it will be a votive Mass in honor of St. Ann. Please join us for this historic Mass.
As I mentioned in last Sunday’s bulletin, starting next Sunday our 12:30pm Mass will be Novus Ordo, like our other Sunday Masses. Yet, for this Mass we will be using the music we’ve been accustomed to at the Latin Mass. Our hope is to preserve the contemplative atmosphere of the Latin Mass that so many of us find alluring.
For those of you planning to make the Latin Mass chapel in Mooresville your new liturgical home, please remember that St. Ann’s is still your parish home, and that the Latin Mass chapel will act as a sort of extension to our parish. Outside of Sunday Mass at the chapel, your sacraments, faith formation, and pastoral care will remain at St. Ann’s. Also, as there will be no collection taken at the Mooresville chapel and no ministries exercised there, you are asked to continue giving of your time, talent, and treasure through St. Ann’s. Keeping the chapel in Mooresville open will likely cost our parish a significant amount of money in years to come, and so your continued generosity to St. Ann’s is necessary and appreciated.
But if I may say so, I do hope that those of you who attend Latin Mass regularly in Mooresville will occasionally come to Sunday Mass here at St. Ann’s. The deacons and I are going to miss seeing you here every Sunday!
Yours in Christ Jesus,
Fr. Reid
