St. Anne’s Church

What St. Anne’s Church does

Saint Anne Roman Catholic Church (operating as St. Anne's Parish) is a constituent parish of the Diocese of Peterborough located at 859 Barnardo Ave, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. The parish began as a Catholic mission on February 26, 1950 (with Mass celebrated in the auditorium of St. Anne's School), and was officially established by Bishop Webster on May 14, 1956, with Fr. Gregory Wolff as founding pastor. The current church building was dedicated on June 11, 1958, and a modern, air-conditioned Parish Centre was added in September 1997. Father Sanyatson Seshaiah has served as pastor since 2021.

The parish delivers traditional Roman Catholic worship and pastoral services within fixed geographic boundaries (north of Parkhill, from the Otonabee River to the Canadian National Railway and Lindsay line). Core offerings include daily and weekend Mass, Confession, Adoration, the seven sacraments (Baptism, Confirmation, First Holy Communion, Reconciliation, Marriage, RCIA), and supporting faith formation plus community fellowship via the Women's Group, Knights of Columbus council, Brownies, Quilters' Group, Liturgy Committee, Children's Liturgy, and sports teams. Two Catholic schools (St. Anne's School and St. Paul's School) operate within the parish.

Technology is limited to a WordPress-based website (stannesrcc.com) with a weekly PDF bulletin, Office 365 Outlook calendar embedding, fillable PDF sacramental forms, and Interac e-Transfer donation processing (the latter replacing CanadaHelps in recent years to eliminate 3% processing fees). The entity is a private nonprofit religious organization with no commercial revenue model, no investors, and no subsidiaries; canonical authority rests with the Diocese of Peterborough. Funding comes entirely from voluntary sources — Sunday Offertory, special collections, Mass intentions, sacrament-related fees, hall rental, bulletin advertising, and a $20/year Women's Group membership — with no financial statements publicly disclosed.
