Saint Ann Melkite Catholic Church

About this church

Saint Ann Melkite Catholic Church in Danbury, Connecticut, is a Byzantine Rite Catholic parish at 181 Clapboard Ridge Road, part of the Melkite Eparchy of Newton. Every Sunday the parish prays Third Hour Prayer at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. Sacramental confession is available on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. or by appointment. On feast days the Divine Liturgy is celebrated at 6:30 p.m., except on Christmas Eve at 5 p.m. and Easter Eve at 8 p.m., and also on the morning of the feast at 10 a.m.

The parish traces its roots to the ancient Church of Antioch and worships in the Byzantine tradition, which includes icons and the practice of bowing and making the sign of the cross. Website pages explain what to expect in church, the order of worship, the liturgical year, fasting, and the Eastern Christian understanding of the sacraments, which helps first-time visitors who are unfamiliar with Eastern liturgy. Groups and activities include a youth group, altar servers, a tabernacle society, a Bible study resource, and an annual bazaar with food pre-orders. St. Ann Hall is available for events. Weekly bulletins, a text message sign-up, and a virtual tour of the church are posted online. Confirm times, especially for feast days, on the website.
