Website Maintenance

Posted on by Administrator

I’ve made a couple of additions to the website:

– a photo album to capture images of the events at St. Anne’s in the link menu at the top of the right hand column.

– uploaded the Novena booklet (as a PDF file) for your downloading and printing, again, in the link menu.

– Activated the Preservation Society Information menu to the right, but am building the pages to put in there, so there’s only placeholders right now.

Prayer to Good St. Anne

Posted on by Administrator 
Most Holy St. Anne,
Mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Grandmother of the Lord God Almighty,
The honest, the penitent, and the sinner
consider you as their powerful advocate
before your Divine grandson.

By your maternal intercession,
the honest hope for an increase of grace,
the penitent for their justification,
the sinner for the remission of their sins,
be kind and generous to me,
Good St. Anne and pray for me in Heaven.

Use in my favor the great influence
you have before your grandson, particularly for
(state your intention).

O Good St. Anne, pray for me.

AMEN
