Welcome to St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church and thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
Our parish is located at 11 Wilson Street West (at the corner of Fiddler’s Green Road and Wilson Street) in Ancaster, Ontario. I hope our website provides you with basic information about St. Ann’s. We truly hope that your visit to our website will help you get to know us, our Catholic faith and our parish community a little better. St. Ann’s Parish was established in 1952 and was placed in the care of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, with Father William Loftus, O.M.I., serving as first pastor. The Oblates served the parish until 1979, when diocesan priests took charge.
Despite many changes over the years, we continue to maintain a “family spirit” in our parish. the faithful of St. Ann bring great vitality to the parish, especially through different ministries and active groups. There are opportunities for meeting and making friends, and for offering service to one another in the parish and to the community at large. As we perform both spiritual and corporal works of mercy, we seek to increase our love for God and our goodwill toward one another. From humble beginnings the community has grown and built a vibrant parish: like the mustard seed, we pray that we may continue to grow as the living sign of God’s Kingdom. Kindly take some time to peruse our website and view the many opportunities available to, and through, our parish community. As Pastor, I want you to know that everyone is welcome here. Come as you are! We are blessed with a dedicated parish staff and a fantastic team of volunteers who serve with joy and faith. May God bless you, and may you pray for me, just as I do for you. If you have any questions or comments after visiting our website, please feel free to contact us. We can be reached by email or, of course, we welcome a phone call or a visit in person.
- Fr. Peter Tuyen Nguyen, Pastor

Pope Francis has declared 2025 to be a Jubilee Year for the entire Church. We are invited to experience in a profound way the transforming power of God’s mercy and forgiveness, and a renewal of our faith and commitment to love God and our neighbour as God has first loved us.
The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope”. In our world suffering from the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19, the climate crisis, economic hardships, and countless afflictions of mind, body and spirit, Pope Francis is inviting us to rekindle the hope which is rooted in our faith: our sure hope which never disappoints.
