Liturgy is the central ministry of our Parish community from which we take our identity and from which all other activities of the Parish flow. Therefore, the role of the Committee is to create an environment in which the assembly can participate and grow in faith and by which they may be transformed and experience Liturgy as an action that does not end with the dismissal but is carried out in our daily lives.  The Liturgy Committee sets the tone for sacred worship and suggests the direction for Liturgical Ministries.  The Liturgical Committee works in conjunction with the Pastor, and the Liturgical Documents of the Church.

The Christian Formation Program supports adults, young people, and children as they develop their relationship with God and grow in their faith life as Catholic Christians. We are guided in this work by Church teaching documents as well as the guidelines of the Diocese of Wilmington. We reach out to the increasingly diverse population included in St. Ann’s and those who are searching and/or seeking admission to our Catholic Community. We do this prayerfully through catechetical instruction and formation of conscience, faith-sharing, Sacraments of Initiation and community service. Dedicated catechists assist in this formation. In our kindergarten through grade eight program, family cooperation and support are essential.   Together we strive to grow as the family of God.(For additional information, click here.)

The Parish and Family Life Committee shall strive for the promotion of Christian community and an environment of mutual support, assistance, and growth in living the Christian life in our time and culture. The committee is working to fulfill this mission by focusing on helping with and creating services and events to build community and foster a welcoming attitude for parishioners of all ages. (For additional information, click here.)

The Social Concerns Committee believes that the needs and concerns of our brothers and sisters are our concern as well. To this end, we will facilitate for our parishioner’s opportunities to discern the needs to serve the poor, the marginalized, the unchurched and the transient. This will involve educating ourselves and the Parish in Catholic Social Justice teachings and encouraging parish-wide participation in both advocacy and outreach.( For additional information, click here.)

Being united in our dedication to and concern for the Parish community of St. Ann’s, we are professional individuals striving to provide an environment where God’s faithful can worship, gather, work, and learn in safety, comfort, and beauty. (For additional information, click here.)
