Come home to the Church.
Wherever you have been, the Father is waiting to welcome you home.
“Late have I loved you, beauty ever ancient, ever new.” St. Augustine wrote these words after years of searching for God and running from Him. Many of us know that same restlessness of heart. Whether it is this restlessness or something else that has brought you to our website or to the parish, we are glad to welcome you.
But we will not pretend that the Christian life is easy or comfortable. Christ receives us as we are, but He does not leave us as we are. He calls us to repent, to take up our cross daily, and to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. This is the work of a lifetime, and none of us has finished it. At St. Ann’s we take that call seriously. Through Confession, prayer, fasting and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, God slowly conforms us to His Son.
At the centre of everything is the Mass. Our parish has been designated as a home for the Traditional Latin Mass in the greater Hamilton area, and we offer it alongside the new Mass in English. In both, we seek to give God the worship He deserves: with reverence, silence and awe before Our Lord, truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. We do not come to Mass to be entertained, but to adore.
So come and see. Kneel before the altar, let the silence quiet your heart, and let Christ speak to you. After Mass, I would love to greet you on the front steps and hear a little of what God is doing in your life.

Your first Traditional Latin Mass
The Traditional Latin Mass is the ancient Mass of the Roman Rite. St. Francis of Assisi, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Thérèse of Lisieux were all formed by it. Its Roman Canon was given its lasting form by Pope St. Gregory the Great in the sixth century, and its roots reach back to the Church of Rome, founded on the Apostles Peter and Paul. Here the one Sacrifice of Calvary is made present: in the silence of the Canon, with priest and people facing the altar together, Christ offers Himself to the Father. You don’t need to understand every word to be drawn into it. Our beginner’s guide shows you how to follow along with the missal and what to expect at the Low Mass and the Sung Mass.
