Fourth Annual Christmas Pageant - Calling all actors, actresses, readers & carolers for St. Anne's 4th Annual Christmas Pageant! All children in Grades K-6 are welcome to join. The first rehearsal is scheduled for Thursday, December 3rd at 4:15 p.m. in the Church.

This year's pageant will take place during the homily at the 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday, December 20th. For more information, call Jackie Butterfield at 978-486-4100 ext. 20.

ATTENTION: Sacramental preparation for First Penance and First Eucharist is a two year program. The first year is an introduction to who God is and Jesus as brother and friend. The learning of basic prayers, the Sign of the Cross, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Prayer, simple Morning Offering and Grace before meals are also introduced and memorized. Parents must provide a letter that your child has attended a First Year Program either in another Parish or Parochial School. Otherwise the child will not be eligible for the second year program and must start with the first year program.

Parochial School Students in Grade Two: Children anticipating the reception of First Penance and First Eucharist this year must register in the Parish Office and Attend Parent Meetings and retreats and special classes in preparation for the reception of the Sacraments at St. Anne Parish.
