ST. ANNE SOCIETY The opening meeting will be on Wed., April 10, 2019. Please note the date change. This is due to the fact that our ordinary date falls during Holy Week and we respect that the special services during that time take precedence. The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Center. This will be an informal business type meeting of introductions and scheduling of activities and events. Members are asked to make this a priority on their calendars. All women of the church are invited and most welcome to come to this and any of our meetings as the year progresses. Refreshments will be served.

On Sunday, April 7 at 2 p.m., there will be two diocesan Prayer Services for Healing, in response to the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church. The prayer services will be held simultaneously at St. Michael’s Cathedral, 254 State St., in Springfield and at St. Joseph Church, 414 North St., in Pittsfield. All are invited and encouraged to attend.
