You can register for Online Giving by clicking here. You can register a checking account, debit card or credit card, and choose the frequency (such as one time donation, weekly, monthly, etc.). If you prefer to receive collection envelopes in the mail, please call the Rectory at 914-965-1555 to register.

Once you have registered, please go to the box below and register for FlockNotes. This allows Cardinal Dolan or Father Carrozza to reach the entire Parish in an emergency situation. Your email or phone is absolutely not shared with anyone else.  Especially in these difficult pandemic times.

A special note:  To be considered active members of St. Ann's Parish, every family member and single adult must be properly registered in the parish, attending Sunday Mass, receiving and regularly using the parish weekly donation envelopes, or using online giving. Only in this way can the parish issue documents attesting to parish membership and Catholic practice, such as a letter to be a Godparent or Sponsor.

The Archdiocese of New York has provided a wonderful way for the Cardinal to reach all parishioners with important news as well as for each pastor to contact his flock quickly. It is by use of Flocknotes. Thanks to this program, whenever we need to get information to you immediately, we can easily send an email and/or a text message to you so that you get the information right away. WE WILL NEVER GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL ADDRESS TO ANYONE ELSE! This is solely for in-parish and intra-archdiocesenal use. Signing up is very easy, just text STANNYONKERS to 84576 or visit http://www.flocknote.com/stannyonkers. It is simple and free. Please sign up today!

ALL weekend Masses will be livestreamed on Facebook at:   
www.Facebook.com/StAnnsChurch.

You do not need to sign-up or be a member of Facebook to view our page, livestreams and updates!

WE ARE IN PHASE V OF THE REOPEN

WEEKEND MASSES will be held Saturdays at 5pm, Sundays at 8am, 10am and 12pm. We are limited to 25% of the Church's capacity, or 80 people. Entry will be through one door only. Once capacity is reached, an additional 20 people may watch a livestream in Father Anthony Hall, or you may return for a later Mass. Pews will be cordoned off so that no one sits in them. Families may sit together in one pew. If you sit in a pew with someone not in your household, please keep 6' between you. The main aisle will be marked off in 6' increments for those attending Communion, which will be in the hand only. The Greeters will have hand sanitizer, and you must wear a mask.

DAILY (Monday-Friday) Mass has resumed n the Chapel at 7:15AM & 8:30AM, restricted to 25% of the Chapel's capacity (30 people). Please respect social distancing and remember to wear your mask. Families may sit together.

FUNERALS & WEDDINGS  may be held in the Main Church, restricted to 25% of the Church's capacity (80 people). Please respect social distancing and remember to wear your mask. Families may sit together.

BAPTISMS  are held in the Chapel at 1pm on Sundays, and are restricted to 25% of the Church's capacity (80 people). Please respect social distancing and remember to wear your mask. Families may sit together.

THE RECTORY is open weekdays from 9am to 8pm.

CONFESSIONS will be held every Saturday from 4:00 - 4:45pm in Father Anthony Hall. We still need to observe social distancing, so the priest hearing Confession will have two chairs for the penitent, one in front of him and one behind, so that you may still choose to go anonymously (as if behind the screen) or face to face. Please line up in the church and use the side door nearest the altar to enter Fr. Anthony Hall one at a time for confession. We still need to wear masks. 

THE CHAPEL is open every day from 7am until 8pm for private prayer.

•  Phase VI:  Resumption of full Parish Mass schedule, sacramental and parish activities. No date yet.

​​​​Those 65 and older are discouraged, but not forbidden, from attending. You may watch our livestreamed Mass or any other Mass on broadcast on TV, and are encouraged to make a Spiritual Communion: 

Act of Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen. 

I have placed a button on our website (see below this box) linking to the daily Mass offered by Bishop Robert Barron. You do NOT have to watch it live; it is available every day after 8:30AM.

Finally, while our first concern is of course the health and safety of all our parishioners, the bills still have to be paid. I know that the pandemic will present financial difficulties to many people, but whatever you can do to help keep us afloat financially will be greatly appreciated. I am grateful to the many parishioners who have mailed or dropped off their envelopes, and to those who have since signed up for automated giving. If you would be willing to do that, just click the Parish Giving button directly above this message. You can register a checking account or credit card, amount, and frequency of deductions. Also, we have reached our goal for the Cardinal's Appeal , but please do not forget your Renew & Rebuild pledges. I have big plans to share with you about that once the crisis is over.
