We are offering separate times for private prayer & Reconciliation for our senior population. Although you are free to sign up for any slot, if seniors feel more comfortable, we have set aside these times for you. If you are unable to make a reservation online please call the parish office Monday-Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm at (847) 382-5300 to reserve your time.
Please be aware of the parish guidelines for private prayer and reconciliation:
- Private prayer times are limited to 10 individuals or less with social distancing rules in effect.
- All visitors must wear a mask upon entering and use provided hand sanitizers.
- A greeter(s) will be present to help check-in and direct individuals to their seats.
Saint Anne will also begin to schedule funerals, baptisms and weddings with 10 or fewer guests. Please contact our office at (847) 382-5300 to schedule. We are very eager to celebrate these sacraments and will do our best to accommodate everyone.
The health of our parishioners remains our highest priority and we are following the Archdiocesan disinfecting guidelines to help mitigate the spread of the virus and ensure the safety of all entering the parish facilities. While we hope that everyone will feel comfortable to participate, it is up to each person individually to weigh the risks and make a decision that is right for you.
Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and generosity over these last three months. The Reopening Team and the Parish Staff are keeping each of you in our prayers as we move further ahead with reopening plans for Phase 2. If you have any questions, please call Eryka Accordino at (847)620-3055 or email at eaccordino@stannebarrington.org.
