In the Book of Matthew, chapter 22, Jesus says: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. Is it, in fact, God who does this to us? Is the whole equation upside down?

How could faith be invisible?

Sometimes it's hard to judge when ambition has selfless roots and intentions. Here's some guidance from Fr. Lucas Laborde about how to discern our ambitions, and order them toward Christ.

Do you suffer from anxiety? This advice could help.

2020 marks the sesquicentennial of the birth of Louis Vierne (October 8, 1870), organist of Notre Dame de Paris.

As such, renowned organist Eric Plutz performs the Great 5th Symphony of Louis Vierne (1870-1937).

Mr. Plutz, Princeton University organist, played this recital on our 1999 Létourneau organ on Friday, September 25 at 7:30pm.

This event is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted to benefit our continuing Music Program here at St. Ann DC!

UPDATE: In light of recent events, while tonight’s performance was initially intended to benefit our Music Program here at St. Ann, it now seems much more appropriate to extend a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in California fighting devastating wildfires. All donations will go directly toward California wildfire relief and recovery.
