What a beautiful and grace-filled celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi this weekend!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Mass and our Eucharistic procession as we publicly proclaimed our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. It was a blessing to witness our parish community united in prayer and devotion to our Lord.

A special thank you to all who helped make our liturgical celebrations possible — our clergy, altar servers, music ministries, decorators, ushers, volunteers, and all who served behind the scenes. Your time, prayer, and dedication helped make this weekend truly meaningful and reverent.

May our love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament continue to grow, and may the Sacred Heart of Jesus reign in our hearts and homes always.

“Behold, I am with you always.” – Matthew 28:20

We are excited to celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi this weekend! Join us for Mass and our Eucharistic Procession following the 9:00 AM Mass as we publicly witness to our faith and devotion to Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

In the event of inclement weather, the procession will take place through the church after the 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM Masses, however at this point we are still planning to process Jesus through the streets if LV.

You may also notice our church beautifully decorated with the Sacred Heart this weekend. On June 11, 2026, the bishops of the United States will consecrate our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. As we prepare for this special moment in the life of the Church, we pray that every heart may be drawn closer to His mercy and love.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus forever reign in each of our hearts as Lord and King! ❤️

As we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi, we are reminded of the incredible gift of the Holy Eucharist — the true presence of Jesus Christ among us. In every Mass, we are invited to encounter Him, receive His love, and be transformed by His grace. Corpus Christi is a beautiful opportunity to publicly proclaim our faith and give witness to the One who walks with us always.

We invite all parish families to join us Mass and for our Corpus Christi Procession as we come together in prayer, worship, and thanksgiving.

Here are some things to know about the procession:

1. We will be processing through the streets of LV! We will be taking Jesus into our community and offering prayers!

2. Wear a color to represent your minsitry! For Example:
​CDA: Wear Purple
Walking with Purpose: Wear Pink
​KOC's: Wear Your KOC Shirts
Music Minsitry: Wear Blue
​Youth Ministry: Wear a YM Shirt that you have
​Liturgical Ministers: Wear Red
​ACTS: Wear Your ACTS Shirts!

​3. Bring your bells to ring during the procession.

4. We will have white ribbons with bells to ring!

Bring your children, your loved ones, and your hearts ready to honor Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Let us walk together as a parish community, proclaiming Christ to the world with joy and reverence.

Day 1 of our St. Ann & ABVM Staff & Clergy retreat was very fruitful. We spent time in prayer, fellowship, reflection, and discussion as our parish staff from both parishes gathered together under the theme “Chosen, Transformed, Sent.” We spent time strengthening our teams, growing together in faith, and preparing our hearts to better serve our parish communities in the year ahead.

As a reminder, our parish office will remain closed to the public tomorrow, June 4, for Day 2 of our retreat, which will include further prayer, planning, and calendar preparation.

Please continue to pray for our staff during this time — that the Holy Spirit may guide us with wisdom, peace, and renewed purpose as we serve our parish family. Know that we are also praying for our entire community during this retreat. 💙

📌 Reminder: The Parish Office will be closed to the public on June 3rd & 4th as our staff gathers for training, development, retreat, and calendar planning.

Please keep our staff in your prayers during this time of reflection and preparation, that we may continue to better serve our parish community with faith, joy, and purpose.

Thank you for your understanding and support! 🙏

✨ Ladies Social Recap ✨

What a wonderful evening of faith, fellowship, and friendship at our Ladies Social on June 1st! Thank you to all the women who joined us for this special gathering hosted by our Walking With Purpose Ministry.

It was a blessing to spend time together, share conversation, laughter, and encouragement, and grow in community with one another. Events like these remind us that we are not meant to walk our faith journey alone—we are stronger when we walk together in Christ.

If you missed this gathering, don't worry! Walking With Purpose will be kicking off new Bible studies and opportunities for fellowship this fall. Whether you're new to the parish, new to Bible study, or have been attending for years, there is a place for you.

Keep an eye on upcoming parish communications for details about our fall studies and events. We would love for you to join us!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this evening such a success. May God continue to bless the women of St. Ann as we grow in faith and friendship together. 💜
