Walk with Jesus through Holy Week at St. Anne’s

Written By Claire Miller

Dear St. Anne’s Friends,

Holy Week invites us into the heart of our faith—a sacred journey of love, sacrifice, and hope. We warmly invite you to walk with Jesus through these holy days and to join the St. Anne’s community in worship, prayer, and reflection as we move from the Upper Room to the Cross, and from the darkness of the tomb to the joy of Easter morning. You are welcome to join us in person or online.
