Mass is closed to the public until further notice. You can stream Mass live on our Facebook & YouTube channel. Confessions by appointment only
Dear Parishioners, With sadness and prayerful consideration, a decision was reached by Archbishop Miller to having the celebration of Mass without public attendance until further notice. To ensure Spiritual nourishment is provided, a daily celebration of the Eucharist and other liturgical celebrations will be live streamed through the Parish Facebook Account (https://www.facebook.com/St-Anns-Roman-Catholic-Parish-Abbotsford-102407856581092/) as follows:
Sunday Mass – 10:00 am
Saturday Mass – 5:00 pm
Monday to Friday Mass – 7:00 pm
Monday & Saturday – 8:00 pm – Holy Rosary
Tuesday & Thursday – 8:00pm – Eucharistic Adoration
Wednesday – 8:00 pm – Lenten Reflection
Friday – 8:00 pm – Stations of the Cross
Confessions by appointment only.
All your intentions will be offered. In any case, watch TV or social media to follow Liturgical celebrations.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered on personal basis. If interested, call for an appointment to see one of the priests who will be available to hear your confession.
Set aside some time to join us in praying and journeying with our Lord and Savior. This crisis provides us with a great opportunity to live or “reinvent” our Lenten Journey by intensifying our contact with God, ourselves and neighbor.
Make the most of it by spending quality time with your family. Be present to others by calling or writing to them. Take some time to grow as a human being!
Biblical meditation, personal prayer or spiritual formation is another way of favoring our spiritual growth. St Ann’s doors will be open for quiet, personal reflection, avoiding conglomerations.
God keeps on speaking to us through people, events or darkness and turmoil. Forgive to be forgiven; love to be loved; practice the golden rule! Be calm, keep the faith, pray! Let us give nature, God’s creation, a break!
Invoking God’s blessing, I sign.
Fr Eduardo Quintero, CS Pastor
