125th Anniversary of the Dedication of St. Anne Shrine Celebration Mass
To commemorate the 125th Anniversary of the dedication of the Shrine (Christmas Day, 1895), St. Anne’s Shrine Preservation Society will be offering a Mass on January 7, 2021, at 6:30 PM in the Shrine, celebrated by our Chaplain, Fr. Edward Murphy.

While we know that the actual anniversary will be on December 25th, it was felt that with the press of the Christmas celebrations in other parishes, family obligations, and desire to plan fully for this auspicious event, that offering this Mass the day after the traditional feast of the Epiphany would allow your Society to properly remember this event in the life of St. Anne Shrine.
For more information, please contact the Shrine office during regular business hours at 508-678-1510. Additional updates will be publicized here as well as on our events calendar above, under the Home > Ministries > Calendar of Events selection in the menu.
