Feast of Sts. Ann and Joachim
Shrine of St. Ann DeBeaupre
Today the Universal Church celebrates the mother and father of Mary, Saint Ann and her husband St. Joachim. With devout hearts they raised the Blessed Mother to love God above all things. I have a special devotion to St. Ann as I believe my parents prayers to her were answered in my returning to the Catholic faith. See this post about St. Ann and our recent pilgrimage to her shrine in Quebec that has been welcoming
pilgrims for over 300 years!

My name is a derivative of Ann, so I regard it as my patronal feast day. Needless to say I was doing some feasting!
