Christmas Eve Nativity Family Mass

Wanted: Children to Participate in the Christmas Eve Nativity Family Mass

Time

We’re asking volunteers to arrive between 3:45pm-4:00pm to try on their costumes so we can make any adjustments. We will begin rehearsal at 4:15pm. We kindly ask that you meet us inside the church near the choir section.

What to expect

To help everyone feel comfortable and prepared, we will have a rehearsal
lasting approximately 30-40 minutes prior to Mass. This rehearsal will allow the children to practice their roles and understand where to go during the celebration.

All Saints’ Day & Día de los Muertos Mass

Join us at St. Anne’s Church on November 2nd at 10 AM for a special mass honoring All Saints’ Day and Día de los Muertos.

Let’s come together to remember and celebrate the lives of our loved ones who have passed. You’re invited to bring a photo or note of remembrance to place on our altar of remembrance (ofrenda)—available from October 25 through November 2.

Día de los Muertos is a vibrant Mexican tradition that welcomes the spirits of those we’ve lost with love, color, and joy. Our altar will be adorned with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, and papel picado—symbols of life, memory, and unity.

💜 “To all the loved ones who are no longer with us today, we won’t forget you. We love you and you will live and forever carry you in the most precious chamber of our hearts until we are once again reunited.” 💜

Let’s celebrate life, love, and remembrance—together.
