"TRUST ME" can be two of the most affirming or destructive words in the English Language, depending on the disposition of the person saying them. To allow someone to lead us and guide us is always a risk but, as we learn in today's homily, we take that chance with sincere people filled with the Holy Spirit, spectacular results can happen!!!
Please continue to support our local parishes –

St. Anne's Catholic Church was founded by Father Charles Chiniquy, who travelled to Illinois in 1852 and helped found the parish for which the city was named. He was accompanied by most of his French-Canadian parishioners from nearby Bourbonnais, IL. The current structure was built in 1872 to replace Father Chiniquy's original log church. The stone structure is of Gothic design and topped with a bell tower. The church survived a fire in 1893.
The church contains a national shrine to St. Anne, established in 1888 to provide parishioners with a counterpart of the shrine at Beaupré, Canada. The shrine is now known throughout the Middle West and several miraculous cures have been reported. St. Anne's Day, July 26th, brings hundreds of visitors to venerate the relic of la bonne Sainte Anne.
