Dear Friends of Saint Ann Shrine,
Thank You for being such a cherished devotee of Saint Ann and her Shrine! We are so very grateful and appreciative of all your generous support of our mission work! Your kindness in supporting our mission over the years is a true testament to your love and devotion to Saint Ann. Please know we are always here for you and will continue to pray for all of your special intentions. We encourage you to include anything you would like us to keep in prayer in the envelope provided and I will light a candle at the Shrine for it.
On July 26th, Saint Ann Shrine is hosting our 7th Annual “Saint Ann Shrine Giving Day”. We invite you to join us and consider a special gift in honor of Saint Ann’s Feast Day where proceeds benefit the Shrine here in Cleveland. Our goal for this project is $20,260, to coincide with the calendar year 2026. You can help us reach our goal by making a gift online on our website at www.blessedsacrament.com, calling us in the office at 440-449-2700 (Monday through Friday 8:30am-5pm), or by using the return envelope provided. The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament and staff at Saint Ann Shrine are sincerely grateful for any consideration you may give our endeavor.
We are so very excited to celebrate the Triduum and Saint Ann’s Feast Day July 24th-26th here in Cleveland! A nine-day Novena is celebrated at Saint Jean Baptiste Church in New York City from July 17th through July 26th. We hope you can join us!
We celebrate Mass at Saint Ann Shrine in Cleveland Monday through Friday at 11:30am. Please call ahead to R.S.V.P.! We look forward to you joining us! The Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament is happy to share that in the Oratory of the Blessed Sacrament (the special chapel of the Blessed Sacrament Seminary – now Saint Ann Shrine), Cleveland Bishop Edward Malesic elevated our status to that of a diocesan shrine! During Shrine hours of 8:30am-5pm, please come and add a prayer to the Relic of Saint Ann, light a candle, or spend some quiet time revitalizing your faith!
God Bless You!
Yours in Good Saint Ann,
Scott R. Gongos
Director of Mission Advancement
