Welcome!
We are a welcoming Catholic community called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people. Our parish mission is:
"Nourished by the Word and Eucharist, under the spiritual guidance of our pastor, we the members of Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, empowered by the Holy Spirit, strive to create a vital, welcoming Catholic faith community that embraces each person. Acknowledging our blessings and supporting one another, we share our faith, time, and talent, to joyfully proclaim the Gospel and humbly serve the needs of God's people and work to be the presence of Christ in an ever- changing world."
Please bear with us as we're still adding new information to the site everyday. If you have any questions about information that may be missing. Please contact the parish office.
A Message From Bishop Ronald Gainer
Covid-19 Instructions
Dear Friends,
Daily Mass continues Tuesday's thru Friday's at 8:15am. I ask that when attending daily mass that you pick up a card with a red X when you enter the church and leave it in the pew at the end, so we know where people have sat for disinfecting purposes.

In a bid to raise funds, the church is hosting an envelope fundraiser and would like to invite you to take part. Our church event will take place on weekends throughout the year. Donations of any size will be highly appreciated. Due to the Covid Virus, we are behind on the budget! Your financial support is greatly appreciated!!
During the past several weeks, the coronavirus/COVID-19 situation has rapidly changed. I wish to reassure you that our Parish and the Diocese have responded promptly to this ever changing situation by implementing the recommendations from our public health professionals in order to prevent the spread of this virus. While it breaks my heart that the doors to our parish are closed and that I am apart from each of you, I understand the reasons behind this temporary, albeit difficult, decision. Please know that all of us at Annunciation B.V.M are praying for all the members of our Parish and our community during this time.
But I need your help. While we work hard to be financially sound during typical times, we do not have the deep cash-reserves to absorb the economic impacts of the once-in-a-lifetime event of COVID-19. Without your gifts, our Parish will struggle to continue our most basic functions and we will be unable to continue our charitable works in our community. I know these times are challenging, but I humbly ask for your continued financial support so that we may continue our vital functions. Gifts can be made by mailing your check to the Parish, or through our online system found on this page. Thank you for your continued support!
The Parish Office is open to visitors. While visiting you are asked to wear a mask.
