Pastoral Care
St. Ann’s Community welcomes people of all faiths. Our long and rich history follows the Catholic tradition, dating back to our founding by the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1873. The tradition continues to this day with daily Mass, the presence of Priests who provide the Sacraments to our Catholic residents, and on-site pastoral care for all of our residents.
We invite all residents and their loved ones to participate in services in our beautiful Chapel on our Irondequoit campus. Information is available in the weekly bulletin available at the Chapel entrance. You can also call our Chapel Information Line at (585) 697-6070 for information on services.
