St Anns Passionist Monastery

About this church

St. Ann's Monastery and Shrine Basilica in Scranton, Pennsylvania, is a Catholic shrine and Passionist monastery at 1233 St. Ann Street. Masses are offered nearly every day, with a Saturday vigil Mass at 4 p.m. and Sunday Masses at 8:30 a.m., 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, Mass is at 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Saturday has an 8:30 a.m. morning Mass. Mondays are devoted to Novena devotions, with services through the day. Confessions are heard Tuesday through Friday afternoons in the Shrine Center and on Saturday afternoons in the Upper Basilica.

The site describes St. Ann's as primarily a place of prayer, reconciliation and solidarity, drawing pilgrims who come to pray for families and personal intentions. Visitors can pray the Stations of the Cross, light candles at the grotto or in the lower basilica, and join the weekly Monday Novena or the annual Solemn Novena held each summer. The Passionists arrived in Scranton to conduct missions and retreats, and the monastery was established on a hilltop site in the early 1900s. The website offers a video tour of the basilica, Novena prayers and prayer request forms. Confirm current Mass and devotion times on the website or by phone before traveling.
