St. Anne’s offers a mid-week Healing Eucharist with prayers for healing and anointing with oil after communion on Tuesdays at 12:10 p.m. in the Holy Family Chapel in St. Anne’s Sanctuary.

Prayers for healing and anointing with oil is also offered during the Holy Eucharist on Sundays at 10 a.m. in the Holy Family Chapel.

We pray together on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:30 p.m. in St. Anne’s beautiful sanctuary. We offer Virtual Evening Prayer every weekday at 5:30 p.m. on Zoom. All are welcome to join. Prayers can reflect concerns for hardships, protection, and physical or emotional healing. Similarly, they can be prayers of praise, celebration, and thanksgiving. Any prayer you may have is honored in our community. During Lent, Holy Eucharist will be offered on Friday evenings.

Compline is the ancient Christian prayer for the close of the day and originates at least from the 6th century Rule of St. Benedict. The service is led by a lay Cantor and consists of prayer, confession of sin; Psalm singing; a brief, chanted scriptural reading; and a few short antiphons before the benediction. The whole service lasts about 20 minutes and encourages silent contemplation, before, during, and after. We hope you will join us!

St. Anne’s has prayer ministers who will pray with parishioners. Come to the rail in the Holy Family Chapel during the Holy Eucharist at the 10 a.m. service on Sundays or the Healing Eucharist on Tuesdays at 12:10 p.m.

The tradition of intercessory prayer is grounded in Scripture, particularly in the Epistle of James, which encourages the faithful to seek prayer from the community during times of illness or crisis (James 5:13–16). In this spirit, St. Anne’s offers several ways to participate in healing and intercessory prayer:

Public Intercessory Prayer List – Names and concerns are listed in our parish prayers and lifted during worship.

Private Intercessory Prayer Chain – Concerns are shared confidentially with a dedicated group of intercessors

The Iron Rosary is a spirit driven, collaborative ministry. It is a communal prayer space for the parish and the Annapolis community. The parish and the public are invited to fill out a prayer card. Our team prays these prayers as we laminate and hang the cards on he fence at Church Circle. Our mission is to pray for and with God’s children. We celebrate the liturgical seasons of Advent and Lent as well as cultural holidays, including May Day, 4tth of July and Veterans Day.

This ecumenical group serves to balance daily life with silence and grounding Spirit through Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, and shared reflection.

We meet the first 2 Tuesdays for Centering Prayer and a session from Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton, led by Carol Leach.

The 3rd Tuesday is Lectio Divina and Centering Prayer led by Lynn Thonnard. 

We meet from 10 am to 11:15 am at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church at 730 Bestgate Road in Annapolis. Please contact Carol Leach at carollleach@gmail.com for more information.
