Greetings and Welcome!  

Sainte Anne Parish is a faith community in the Roman Catholic tradition.  We see ourselves as a local expression of the Universal Church, the People of God, the Body of Christ.  Through God's grace we seek to be welcoming and loving.  Our life centers on the weekend celebration of the Eucharist.  We meet Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and are then challenged to bring His love to others.  You are most welcome to visit our parish and if  you wish to become a member.  Our Masses for the Lord's Day are on Saturday at 4:00p.m. and on Sunday at 8:30a.m. and 11:00a.m.  Ste. Anne is the closest Catholic church to Salem State University.  We welcome students, faculty, and workers at the University to share in our life of faith.  You are also wlecome and invited to take part in any of our parish activities.  May the Lord bless and keep you and your loved ones.

      The Ministry of Exorcisms - Father Gary Thomas   

In the fall of 2005 I had the opportunity to spend a three month sabatical in the city of Rome with priests from our country and other English speaking countries.  One of those priests was Fr. Gary Thomas.  At the time he was in the beginning stages of becoming an exorcist.  It was a pleasure to know him.  He eventually wrote a book about his experiences in Rome and the book became a movie, the Rite.  His talk will help you to become aware of the spiritual battle we are all involved in, whether we realize it or not.  It will help you to continue or to begin to take the steps necessary to protect yourself from the work of the Evil One and his minions.  Fr.

VIDEO OF THE MONTH

Benedict XVI - A Love Affair with the Truth! 

Watch Benedict XVI - A Love Affair with the Truth.  During his years as our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI often did not have good press.  The impression that many people had of him was far from the truth.  In this Video you will see much that was not reported by the mainstream media and will gain perhaps a different impression of this wonderful and holy man.  You will find this video on the Formed Website listed as Rome Reports under Documentaries.  Information on Formed is below.
