Reflections from St. Ann DC

What is it we truly believe? We say it every time we go to Mass, but do we know what we're saying?

Jesus Is Ascended: What Now?

Ten of our Parish School of Religion students made Mother’s Day extra special for their mothers this year! On May 9, these 10 children celebrated their First Holy Eucharist. Congrats to Brandon Brumby, Anna Katherine Clark, Nathaniel Clauss, Benjamin Graves, Charlotte Judith Maslog, Matteo Meilak, Nicolas Parodi, Sofia Savannah Tipton, Arturo Waltersdorfer and Charlotte Elise Winkle.

After taking their lessons online since September, the children were ready to show how well they have learned about their faith as they answered Msgr. Watkins questions. There were smiles behind the masks of the entire parish family.

A very special thanks to Kathy Curran, our PSR second grade teacher. For the past 10 years, she has guided more than 100 of our students with patience and love as they had their First Reconciliations and celebrated their First Communions. The PSR will certainly miss her!

Let Christ bear much fruit in you, out of love.

Jesus has a leadership style that surpassed all others. What can we learn from his unique approach?

One of our newest members, Nelly Crabbe, gives her testimony about entering the Catholic faith. 

Emotional maturity is a tough discipline. Often our emotions have a mind of their own, causing us to act in ways we truly don't desire. What's a good way to manage our emotions when this happens? Fr. Lucas Laborde gives some practical advice to tackle this everyday problem.

Amazing and incredible - two words we toss around to describe our vacations, our streaming services, our experiences - with little thought. Is anything but the Resurrection of Christ, however, really, truly "incredible"?

Why are there 50 days of joy in the Easter season? Our pastor, Msgr. Watkins, explains in this week's podcast.
