Mission Statement
St. Ann’s Ministry of Christian Formation is committed to sharing our Catholic Faith with others, proclaiming the
Word of God, and celebrating the good news of salvation. Since our Faith is most powerfully expressed in our
celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy, the center of all catechetical efforts, we strive to express our beliefs in
programs and activities, for all age groups, as opportunities to experience a deeper, more loving personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
