Even though your Shrine is closed, Good St. Anne, we are still taking care of the building and ensuring all is well.

And keeping the lamps lit for the Son of your daughter.

Keeping with the thought that ALL photos of St. Anne’s that come across my desk, either via text, email, or through web searching should be preserved and presented for your enjoyment…here’s a shot, taken from the balcony, of the 1978 Mass marking the Dominican presence at the parish in 1978 (exact date unknown at this time).

Of course, the sanctuary was as it was reconfigured (except for Fr. Folster’s removal of the communion rail and the repurposing of the gates to the sanctuary as a trim for the ambo), this is pretty much as the altar was after the post Vatican-II implied requirement to put in a table altar for Mass celebrated facing the congregation, and pre-construction of the carpeted platform as it currently is in the upper church.

Pioneer Basement is hard at work in the Shrine. Taking our first steps toward remediating the water ingress problem that has plagued the structure for many years. It’s through YOUR support that we are able to start the long process of returning this landmark to it’s proper condition.

We depend on free contributions to help fund these repairs and improvements. While we’re still working on building an automated way of doing so, please, if you have the inclination, click on the DONATE TO THE SHRINE link on the menu to the right at the top and follow the directions, or, if you’re in the area, stop by the office in the lower level and talk with a staff member. Again, we can ONLY do it with YOUR help!
