St Annes Catholic Church

What St Annes Catholic Church does

St Anne Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish located at 120 Ela Street, Barrington, Illinois, operating within the Archdiocese of Chicago under the governance of the Archbishop. The parish was originally dedicated in 1884 and is recognized as one of the largest in the Archdiocese, currently serving more than 3,500 registered families across Lake, Cook, McHenry, and Kane Counties. Its core offering is the traditional Catholic sacramental and liturgical program — weekly Mass (Saturday vigil, three Sunday Masses, daily Mass in the chapel), six sacraments (Baptism, Reconciliation, Confirmation, First Eucharist, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick), and lifelong faith formation spanning children's programs, the two-year PATHS Confirmation track, OCIA, adult Bible studies, and youth ministry including Kairos retreats and a summer mission trip.

The parish runs an integrated community-and-outreach portfolio organized under four commissions (Worship, Faith Formation and Education, Human Concerns, Community Life). Hope Ministries, comprising Project Hope (mobile food pantry and emergency assistance at 320 Franklin St.) and the House of Hope Resale upscale thrift store at 955 S. Rand Road in Lake Zurich, channels resources to families in crisis and delivered 30,000+ services annually. Care Ministries supports homebound and hospitalized parishioners, while Faithjustice addresses fair trade, creation care, restorative justice, and migrant sponsorship. Operationally, the parish runs on a standard non-profit SaaS stack: eCatholic website, GiveCentral for online giving, Vimeo livestream, Constant Contact email, OneCause for events, Google Calendar, and a Hallow app integration. Saint Anne Parish School operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary ministry, and a dedicated staff of roughly 11-50 paid employees is supplemented by more than 250 volunteers in Hope Ministries alone.

Revenue is generated from a diversified mix: recurring tithes and offerings via GiveCentral, program fees (PATHS Confirmation $240-$375, Women's Club $25-$30, spiritual direction sliding-scale $35-$100, spiritual exercises $0-$240), House of Hope Resale retail proceeds (100% directed to outreach), the Legacy of Faith capital campaign, periodic second collections, school tuition, and community fundraising events (annual Fall Golf Classic, CROP Hunger Walk). The parish discloses Annual Stewardship Reports but does not publish specific revenue figures. Governance is provided by the pastor, associate pastor, two deacons, and a lay leadership team, with a formal pastor transition scheduled for September 12, 2026.
