Many people who are visiting and looking for a parish have practical questions about the faith, the sacraments or getting in touch with the parish. Below are some frequently-asked questions that may provide you with helpful information.
Registered and engaged couples are welcomed into the homes of married couples and participate in discussing issues relevant to marriage after taking the FOCCUS inventory (Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding & Study). We kindly ask that you call the Parish Office at least six months in advance. Fr. Bob or Deacon Rich will explain the process of marriage preparation, and you will have the opportunity to register for marriage preparation classes. The classes comprise a combination of compatibility assessment along with one-to-one discussion opportunities with your fiancé and support from the Marriage Ministry.
Annulments: Periodically, the Metropolitan Tribunal of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee offers workshops regarding invalidation and annulments. The Nazareth Project supports the work of the Tribunal in this ministry. For further information, please contact the Tribunal directly. You can find their website here.
Blessings: To get your marriage blessed, call the Parish Office and make an appointment with Fr. Bob to discuss your circumstances. Call Fr. Bob Weighner at (262) 942-8300 or (262) 331-0906 or e-mail at rweighner@saint-anne.org.

Reconciliation is offered at St. Anne on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning at 7:30 a.m. until 8:30 a.m. or by appointment by contacting the Parish Office.
Simply call the Parish Office to determine the date and time of Mass for which you’d like to dedicate to your loved one. Recommended stipend for Mass dedication is $10.
Registering your child in religious education is a wonderful way to have them form a lasting relationship with God at an early age. At the school-age level, we offer grade-specific programs, typically on Saturday or Sunday (around Mass times, making it convenient for you) or on Wednesdays. Registration typically begins in the May timeframe and concludes in August. You may direct your inquiries to Fr. Bob Weighner at (262) 942-8300 or (262) 331-0906.
We kindly ask that you call the Parish at least two months in advance. Registered parents wishing to baptize their child will enroll in a baptism reflection where you’ll learn the true meaning of baptism and what your duties are as Catholic parents.
The Sacrament of First Holy Communion is a crucial step towards a lifelong relationship with the Holy Trinity. It is one of the most special moments in a child’s sacramental formation. As Catholic parents, we ask that you attend Sunday Mass regularly and be an active participant in your child’s preparation. Registration for Sacramental preparation usually begins in the July timeframe. However, you may direct your inquiries to Fr. Bob Weighner at (262) 942-8300 or (262) 331-0906. You can also visit our First Eucharist/First Reconciliation Prep page for more information.
