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
June 29, 2025
Dear Parishioners,
This weekend we are hosting a mission priest, Rev. Arulmani Josephraj. As we do every year, our parish (like every other parish in our diocese) hosts a priest who ministers in a poor area to help him raise funds for his community or diocese. Please be generous!
It’s time to begin preparing for our annual Marian Consecration, which begins on July 13th. You can use either Fr. Michael Gaitley’s book: 33 Days to Morning Glory, or St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion to Mary (just be sure to get a version with the consecration preparation included in the book). Then, following each of the Masses on August 15th, which is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (and the anniversary of our parish founding), those who have prepared will make the consecration to Mary. If you have made the consecration in the past, I encourage you to renew it every year. Countless saints throughout our Church’s history have encouraged the faithful to turn to Mary in their every need, and solemnly consecrating oneself to her is “the surest, easiest, shortest, and the most perfect means” to becoming a saint (St. Louis de Montfort).
I hope you’re all enjoying the summer!
Yours in the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts,
Fr. Reid
