As a parish family, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will work to build God's Kingdom by creating opportunities for our parishioners, our community and our visitors, to encounter Jesus in a life-changing way, to set their hearts on fire with His love and to challenge them to become fully engaged disciples.
Pro-Life Ministry
-
The Pro-Life Ministry meets once a month and our main focus is the sanctity of life. We work together to find ways we can impact society to remember that life is a precious gift to be honored and respected from pre-born to the elderly. Join us and be a voice for those who have no voice.

The Memorial of the Unborn
The Pro-Life Ministry of St. Anne-St. Patrick Parish would like to have a special place that would be devoted to the unborn, where those touched by loss of an unborn child, can find comfort and healing. We have found a beautiful and moving statue of "Rachel Weeping" that we would like to be the centerpiece of our memorial area.
Rachel, the Matriarch of Israel in the Old Testament, was heard weeping for her children during the Jewish exile (Jeremiah 31: 15-16) and again during Herod's slaughter of the innocents (Matthew 2:18). In recent years, Rachel has come to symbolize the spiritual battle being waged to preserve the gift of life in a culture which loses many unborn children.
We would like to thank all of our generous donors, including members of the Knights of Columbus (shown above), for contributing to this important project.
