We have many parish opportunities for faith and fellowship throughout this season of Lent.

For a more detailed look at these events, and others offered by Lycoming County Catholic Churches, please take a look at our Lenten Resource Guide available HERE.

All of this information - and more - can easily be accessed on our parish website HERE.

Over the last three years, our community responded to the historical crisis of the Coronavirus pandemic in so many ways. We now invite everyone to join together and participate in securing our parish's future. We ask that you prayerfully consider how you and your family can help Saint Ann Catholic Church by financially supporting our ministries, furthering our mission, and reinforcing our future. Click the image above to learn more.

For the last several years, the Diocese of Scranton and its churches have been focused on the future with a pastoral planning initiative called the Vision 2030 Blueprint Process.

Vision 2030 will help our diocese meet the many opportunities and challenges of the coming decade with the main goal of creating vibrant parishes rooted in the life of Jesus Christ.

WASHINGTON - In response to the leak of a draft opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, some abortion advocates are calling for nationwide demonstrations, disruptions of church services, and the personal intimidation of specific Supreme Court justices. Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities invited the faithful to unite in fasting and prayer:

“In the midst of current tensions, we invite Catholics around the country to join us in fasting and praying the Rosary on Friday, May 13, the Memorial of Our Lady of Fatima. Let us offer our prayers and fasting for these intentions:

• For our nation, for the integrity of our judicial system, and that all branches of government be dedicated to seeking the common good and protecting the dignity and rights of the human person, from conception to natural death.
• For the overturning of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in the Supreme Court’s final decision in Dobbs v. Jackson.
• For the conversion of the hearts and minds of those who advocate for abortion.
• For a new commitment to building an America where children are welcomed, cherished, and cared for; where mothers and fathers are encouraged and strengthened; and where marriage and the family are recognized and supported as the true foundations of a healthy and flourishing society.
• For Our Blessed Mother’s intercession and guidance as the Church continues to walk with mothers and families in need, and continues to promote alternatives to abortion, and seeks to create a culture of life.

As Catholics, let us witness to the beautiful gift of life with civility and love, and with our peaceful prayers and our compassionate service to all those in need.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.”

Do you believe the Diocese of Scranton listens to its parishioners? Are you challenged to use your gifts and talents to better the life of your parish and the whole Church? Do you believe the Church is transparent and accountable in its decision-making processes?

The Diocese of Scranton invites everyone to answer these three questions and more as part of the local listening phase of the 2023 Synod of Bishops, which is now underway.

The word “synod” is an ancient Greek word. While unfamiliar to many, a synod is a journey of discernment, in which the people of God are called to pray and reflect upon the Holy Spirit’s will for the Church.

Pope Francis has asked every diocese in the world to develop a process to listen to the faithful of parishes, religious orders and Catholic movements and prayerfully consider the ways in which they currently experience the church as “synodal,” that is, as a community that walks together and to suggest ways to strengthen that in practice.

Visit the Diocese of Scranton's webpage dedicated to the Synod, which includes the link to the survey in English and Spanish: www.dioceseofscranton.org/synod-on-synodality

Stay tuned for additional upcoming opportunities for synod participation in our parish community.

Please note the Mary, Mother of Mercy Adoration Chapel will be closed through Wednesday for maintenance. We will keep you updated if this closure needs to be extended. The chapel will reopen for regular hours on Friday, October 29th.
Private Prayer is available at Saint Ann Catholic Church Monday through Friday 9:00AM to 3:00PM and Saturday 9:00AM to 12:00PM. The chapel code can be used at the Parish Hall entrance.

UPDATE: We apologize for the last minute chapel closure, but we are thankful for our friends at Sanso Concrete who are taking advantage of brief windows of sunshine this week to install a RAMP! We are thrilled that the chapel will be truly accessible to all who want to adore the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament!!

Due to various unfortunate circumstances, our web host was unable to restore our parish website.
We are in the process of COMPLETELY rebuilding, so many site features are currently unavailable.
At this time, our focus is on setting up the home page and links to the parish calendar, bulletin, and live streaming.
Thank you for your patience!
