''Baptism'' By Appointment\n\n{{In order to begin the baptismal process of the child to be baptized the parents (or legal guardians) are required to contact the [[parish office|How to Contact Us]] at 471-7766, Mon.-Fri., 4:00-7:00 pm. Please do not make any arrangements for your child's baptism until you have contacted the parish and have begun your baptismal preparation process. Given the very large number of infant baptisms which take place annually at St. Anne, your cooperation is appreciated.\n\nIf you are a member of the parish and wish to have your child baptized in another parish, the process still requires the following: at least two months advanced notice to this parish and completion of the baptismal preparation process. The letter of permission required for an out of area baptism will only be sent upon the completion of the baptismal preparation process.\n\nPlease do not set a date for an out of area baptism until you have begun the baptismal preparation process here.\n\nWith the approval of the pastor of St. Anne, a family friend or relative who is a Catholic priest is welcome to baptize your child during the communal rite.

St. Anne sponsors a CYO program as one dimension of the total ministry to youth. Athletic programs can help young people toward imperishable crowns as well as perishable ones. A parish CYO program justifies its existence, the sacrifice, and expense it entails only if it makes better Christians of its participants.\n\nIn our CYO program, emphasis rests not on the number of games won or lost, but on the participants' attitude in victory or defeat. Learning how to lose is just as important as learning how to win. Learning how to win graciously is more important than winning itself.\n\nOur program is designed to serve the needs of all our youth. It enables the gifted to excel, the less gifted to participate and improve. "Star" athletes and teams do not receive exclusive attention.\n\nThe principles of fair play and sportsmanship must govern every game. Dishonesty has no place in CYO competition. CYO competitors must not borrow from professional sports questionable techniques for winning at any cost.\n\nFinally, St. Paul advises in I Cor. 9:24 -- "run to win". In CYO athletics, all who compete can win, if they run to win the real prize: closer union with Jesus Christ.

The Catholic Charismatic is a "Grace of Pentecost sweeping through the Church". Men and women of all ages come together as a community to praise God, to pray, to learn, and to seek a renewal of spiritual life. Members of the Charismatic Prayer Meeting of St. Anne respond to the call "to make the divine message of salvation known and accepted by all men" through their involvement in various ministries in the parish. There is no formal membership.

Volunteers are the heart of St. Anne's Catholic Parish. There are a number of committees, ministries, groups and social organizations in which parishioners can actively participate and share their faith, dedication, and talent. The list of organizations below is open to any parishioners. Only the officers in the Pastoral Council and Finance Committee are elected by a popular vote of the parishioners.\n\n* [[Pastoral Council]]\n* [[Finance Committee]]\n* [[Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)]]\n* [[Charismatics]]\n* [[Couples For Christ]]\n* [[Guadalupana]]\n* [[Knights of Columbus]]\n* [[Legion of Mary]]\n* [[Marriage Encounter]]\n* [[Safely Home - Grief Support Ministry]]\n* [[Saint Vincent De Paul Society]]\n* [[Santo Nino Group]]\n* [[Senior Group]]\n* [[Social Justice Committee]]\n* [[SPRED (SPecial Religious EDucation)]]\n* [[Union City Cursillo Group]]\n\nOther Parish Organizations and Groups - //Please contact the [[Parish Office|How to Contact Us]] for more information on these parish organizations and groups//\n** Lectors\n** Eucharistic Ministers\n** Choir and Folk Music Groups\n** Liturgy Committee\n** Altar Servers\n** Ushers\n** Bible Study Group

\nCouples For Christ (CFC) is an international Catholic Christian Ministry that focuses on married couples through a seminar called the Christian Life Program (CLP). The program's emphasis is on husband and wife growing together in their Christian lives. It also focuses on the strengthening and the development of the Domestic Church, which is the family. Other programs that reach out to other members of the family - widows, singles, divorced, youth and children. We welcome everyone.\n\nFor more information on this valuable program, contact the Saint Anne Parish Office, or visit the Couples For Christ Northern California Chapters Web Site.St. Anne Filipino Group\n\nIt was early in 1973 when Sister Felicia Sarati, CSJ, approached some people about the idea of forming a parish group for Filipinos. The idea was welcomed by the nucleus group of seven couples.\n\nIn the spring of 1973, a special Filipino Mass and pot luck was organized to launch the beginnings of the group. The response was overwhelming and the St. Anne Filipino Group was formed. We formulated our goals to have solidarity in purpose. It was this simple statement - //"we exist to help the community with one and to extend that communal concern with those in our community of faith"//. We seek to identify the needs of the Filipinos in our area and respond to them.

The objective of the Asociacion Guadalupana is to spread the devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and an awareness of our heritage and traditions. The Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego, an Aztec Indian, the 12th of December of 1531. This date was solely 10 years after the conquest of the Tenochtitlan, the Aztec City and 40 years after the Discovery of America by Columbus. Her apparition at this moment in history is very important. When the Virgin Mary called Juan Diego "My Son", she adopted all of us living in the American Continent as her children. As proof of her presence in the new continent, the Virgin Mary left her image in Juan Diego's Huipil or Tunic. Her image is venerated in Mexico City and in our own church.

The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, family, fraternal, service organization. It is committed to the four cardinal principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. St. Anne Council 8627, K of C was chartered on March 29, 1984 and is one of the active organizations of St. Anne Parish.\n\nOur membership belongs to different races and speaks different languages. We are diverse, yet we are one. Our diversity spells creativity, our unity spells strength. Our years of achievement show that we have remained true to our heritage and we will continue to build on it.\n\nWe invite Catholic gentlemen 18 years old and over to join us. St. Anne Council 8627 meets every 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m.

The Legion of Mary is a Catholic lay apostolate dedicated to personal sanctification and evangelization. The active members meet once a week and perform a two-hour apostolate within the week. Work is directed towards conversion, conservation and consolation through home visits, distribution of Catholic literature, teaching catechism, visitation of the sick and elderly and whatever help the priest needs in shepherding his flock.\n\nThe active members are further subdivided into juniors from eight to seventeen years and seniors from eighteen years upward. For those unable to attend meetings, another kind of membership is available, that of an auxiliary. This is open to priests, religious. or lay persons. The auxiliary group is the praying wing of the Legion. Its service is the daily recitation of the rosary and a short prayer.

Marriage Encounter (M.E.) is for any couple who wants to enrich their marriage. It is a positive and personal experience for a couple which offers a technique of communication they can use for their married life. A positive, simple, common sense experience between husband and wife that revitalizes marriage by helping couples to see what their relationship could and should be.\n\nThe weekend is a series of talks which are given by a team of trained couples and a priest. Each talk gives a husband and wife the opportunity to look at themselves as individuals, and to look at their relationship with each other, with God and with others. An M.E. weekend is not a retreat, marriage clinic, or a sensitivity course. It is not a time to look at the past, but rather to your future together. It is a time to share your feelings, your hopes, joys and frustrations.\n\nMarriage Encounter is for couples who desire to make their marriage better. A Marriage Encounter weekend is open to all happily married couples regardless of faith, race, education and financial status. Marriage Encounter is also for priests and religious who want to revitalize their relationship with the people of God and develop an ever deeper appreciation for their vocation. There are information nights held for couples who want to know more about M.E.\n\nFor more information on this valuable program, visit the Worldwide Marriage Encounter Web Site, provided by the San Jose/Oakland Marriage Encounter Presenting Team.Marriage Preparation (The Engaged Couple Program)\n\nMarriage Preparation prepares engaged couples for marriage. The engaged couple should contact the Parish Office six months in advance of their wedding date. The initial interview takes place with the priest after which all other requirements are determined.\n\nThe program will help couples look at themselves in depth in order to discover what they truly want for their lives. The engaged couples are required to take one of the programs held on a weekend or the Evenings for the Engaged program held for six consecutive weeks.

Optional syntax allows ''default to open'', ''custom button label/tooltip'' and ''automatic blockquote formatting.''\n\nYou can also 'nest' these sliders as deep as you like (see complex nesting example below), so that expandable 'tree-like' hierarchical displays can be created. This is most useful when converting existing in-line text content to create in-line annotations, footnotes, context-sensitive help, or other subordinate information displays.\n\nFor more details, please click on a section headline below:\n++++!!!!![Configuration]>\nDebugging messages for 'lazy sliders' deferred rendering:\n<<option chkDebugLazySliderDefer>> show debugging alert when deferring slider rendering\n<<option chkDebugLazySliderRender>> show debugging alert when deferred slider is actually rendered\n===\n++++!!!!![Usage]>\nWhen installed, this plugin adds new wiki syntax for embedding 'slider' panels directly into tiddler content. Use {{{+++}}} and {{{===}}} to delimit the slider content. Additional optional syntax elements let you specify\n*default to open\n*cookiename\n*heading level\n*floater (with optional CSS width value)\n*mouse auto rollover\n*custom class/label/tooltip/accesskey\n*automatic blockquote\n*deferred rendering\nThe complete syntax, using all options, is:\n//{{{\n++++(cookiename)!!!!!^width^*{{class{[label=key|tooltip]}}}>...\ncontent goes here\n===\n//}}}\nwhere:\n* {{{+++}}} (or {{{++++}}}) and {{{===}}}^^\nmarks the start and end of the slider definition, respectively. When the extra {{{+}}} is used, the slider will be open when initially displayed.^^\n* {{{(cookiename)}}}^^\nsaves the slider opened/closed state, and restores this state whenever the slider is re-rendered.^^\n* {{{!}}} through {{{!!!!!}}}^^\ndisplays the slider label using a formatted headline (Hn) style instead of a button/link style^^\n* {{{^width^}}} (or just {{{^}}})^^\nmakes the slider 'float' on top of other content rather than shifting that content downward. 'width' must be a valid CSS value (e.g., "30em", "180px", "50%", etc.). If omitted, the default width is "auto" (i.e., fit to content)^^\n* {{{*}}}^^\nautomatically opens/closes slider on "rollover" as well as when clicked^^\n* {{{{{class{[label=key|tooltip]}}}}}}^^\nuses custom label/tooltip/accesskey. {{{{{class{...}}}}}}, {{{=key}}} and {{{|tooltip}}} are optional. 'class' is any valid CSS class name, used to style the slider label text. 'key' must be a ''single letter only''. Default labels/tootips are: ">" (more) and "<" (less), with no default access key assignment.^^\n* {{{">"}}} //(without the quotes)//^^\nautomatically adds blockquote formatting to slider content^^\n* {{{"..."}}} //(without the quotes)//^^\ndefers rendering of closed sliders until the first time they are opened. //Note: deferred rendering may produce unexpected results in some cases. Use with care.//^^\n\n//Note: to make slider definitions easier to read and recognize when editing a tiddler, newlines immediately following the {{{+++}}} 'start slider' or preceding the {{{===}}} 'end slider' sequence are automatically supressed so that excess whitespace is eliminated from the output.//\n===\n++++!!!!![Examples]>\nsimple in-line slider: \n{{{\n+++\n content\n===\n}}}\n+++\n content\n===\n----\nuse a custom label and tooltip: \n{{{\n+++[label|tooltip]\n content\n===\n}}}\n+++[label|tooltip]\n content\n===\n----\ncontent automatically blockquoted: \n{{{\n+++>\n content\n===\n}}}\n+++>\n content\n===\n----\nall options combined //(default open, cookie, heading, sized floater, rollover, class, label/tooltip/key, blockquoted, deferred)//\n{{{\n++++(testcookie)!!!^30em^*{{big{[label=Z|click or press Alt-Z to open]}}}>...\n content\n===\n}}}\n++++(testcookie)!!!^30em^*{{big{[label=Z|click or press Alt-Z to open]}}}>...\n content\n===\n----\ncomplex nesting example:\n{{{\n+++^[get info...=I|click for information or press Alt-I]\n put some general information here, plus a floating slider with more specific info:\n +++^10em^[view details...|click for details]\n put some detail here, which could include a rollover with a +++^25em^*[glossary definition]explaining technical terms===\n ===\n===\n}}}\n+++^[get info...=I|click for information or press Alt-I]\n put some general information here, plus a floating slider with more specific info:\n +++^10em^[view details...|click for details]\n put some detail here, which could include a rollover with a +++^25em^*[glossary definition]explaining technical terms===\n ===\n===\n===\n!!!!!Installation\n<<<\nimport (or copy/paste) the following tiddlers into your document:\n''NestedSlidersPlugin'' (tagged with <<tag systemConfig>>)\n<<<\n!!!!!Revision History\n<<<\n''2006.07.28 - 2.0.0'' added custom class syntax around label/tip/key syntax: {{{{{classname{[label=key|tip]}}}}}}\n''2006.07.25 - 1.9.3'' when parsing slider, save default open/closed state in button element, then in onClickNestedSlider(), if slider state matches saved default, instead of saving cookie, delete it. Significantly reduces the 'cookie overhead' when default slider states are used.\n''2006.06.29 - 1.9.2'' in onClickNestedSlider(), when setting focus to first control, skip over type="hidden"\n''2006.06.22 - 1.9.1'' added panel.defaultPanelWidth to save requested panel width, even after resizing has changed the style value\n''2006.05.11 - 1.9.0'' added optional '^width^' syntax for floating sliders and '=key' syntax for setting an access key on a slider label\n''2006.05.09 - 1.8.0'' in onClickNestedSlider(), when showing panel, set focus to first child input/textarea/select element\n''2006.04.24 - 1.7.8'' in adjustSliderPos(), if floating panel is contained inside another floating panel, subtract offset of containing panel to find correct position\n''2006.02.16 - 1.7.7'' corrected deferred rendering to account for use-case where show/hide state is tracked in a cookie\n''2006.02.15 - 1.7.6'' in adjustSliderPos(), ensure that floating panel is positioned completely within the browser window (i.e., does not go beyond the right edge of the browser window)\n''2006.02.04 - 1.7.5'' add 'var' to unintended global variable declarations to avoid FireFox 1.5.0.1 crash bug when assigning to globals\n''2006.01.18 - 1.7.4'' only define adjustSliderPos() function if it has not already been provided by another plugin. This lets other plugins 'hijack' the function even when they are loaded first.\n''2006.01.16 - 1.7.3'' added adjustSliderPos(place,btn,panel,panelClass) function to permit specialized logic for placement of floating panels. While it provides improved placement for many uses of floating panels, it exhibits a relative offset positioning error when used within *nested* floating panels. Short-term workaround is to only adjust the position for 'top-level' floaters.\n''2006.01.16 - 1.7.2'' added button property to slider panel elements so that slider panel can tell which button it belongs to. Also, re-activated and corrected animation handling so that nested sliders aren't clipped by hijacking Slider.prototype.stop so that "overflow:hidden" can be reset to "overflow:visible" after animation ends\n''2006.01.14 - 1.7.1'' added optional "^" syntax for floating panels. Defines new CSS class, ".floatingPanel", as an alternative for standard in-line ".sliderPanel" styles.\n''2006.01.14 - 1.7.0'' added optional "*" syntax for rollover handling to show/hide slider without requiring a click (Based on a suggestion by tw4efl)\n''2006.01.03 - 1.6.2'' When using optional "!" heading style, instead of creating a clickable "Hn" element, create an "A" element inside the "Hn" element. (allows click-through in SlideShowPlugin, which captures nearly all click events, except for hyperlinks)\n''2005.12.15 - 1.6.1'' added optional "..." syntax to invoke deferred ('lazy') rendering for initially hidden sliders\nremoved checkbox option for 'global' application of lazy sliders\n''2005.11.25 - 1.6.0'' added optional handling for 'lazy sliders' (deferred rendering for initially hidden sliders)\n''2005.11.21 - 1.5.1'' revised regular expressions: if present, a single newline //preceding// and/or //following// a slider definition will be suppressed so start/end syntax can be place on separate lines in the tiddler 'source' for improved readability. Similarly, any whitespace (newlines, tabs, spaces, etc.) trailing the 'start slider' syntax or preceding the 'end slider' syntax is also suppressed.\n''2005.11.20 - 1.5.0'' added (cookiename) syntax for optional tracking and restoring of slider open/close state\n''2005.11.11 - 1.4.0'' added !!!!! syntax to render slider label as a header (Hn) style instead of a button/link style\n''2005.11.07 - 1.3.0'' removed alternative syntax {{{(((}}} and {{{)))}}} (so they can be used by other\nformatting extensions) and simplified/improved regular expressions to trim multiple excess newlines\n''2005.11.05 - 1.2.1'' changed name to NestedSlidersPlugin\nmore documentation\n''2005.11.04 - 1.2.0'' added alternative character-mode syntax {{{(((}}} and {{{)))}}}\ntweaked "eat newlines" logic for line-mode {{{+++}}} and {{{===}}} syntax\n''2005.11.03 - 1.1.1'' fixed toggling of default tooltips ("more..." and "less...") when a non-default button label is used\ncode cleanup, added documentation\n''2005.11.03 - 1.1.0'' changed delimiter syntax from {{{(((}}} and {{{)))}}} to {{{+++}}} and {{{===}}}\nchanged name to EasySlidersPlugin\n''2005.11.03 - 1.0.0'' initial public release\n<<<\n!!!!!Credits\n<<<\nThis feature was implemented by EricShulman from [[ELS Design Studios|http:/www.elsdesign.com]] with initial research and suggestions from RodneyGomes, GeoffSlocock, and PaulPetterson.\n<<<\n!!!!!Code\n***/\n//{{{\nversion.extensions.nestedSliders = {major: 2, minor: 0, revision: 0, date: new Date(2006,7,28)};\n//}}}\n\n//{{{\n// options for deferred rendering of sliders that are not initially displayed\nif (config.options.chkDebugLazySliderDefer==undefined) config.options.chkDebugLazySliderDefer=false;\nif (config.options.chkDebugLazySliderRender==undefined) config.options.chkDebugLazySliderRender=false;\n\n// default styles for 'floating' class\nsetStylesheet(".floatingPanel { position:absolute;

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (commonly known as the RCIA) is the normal way in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.\n\nA very important part of preparation for this active participation is developing the desire and ability to reach out to others, inviting them to "come and see" (John 1:39) where the Lord is to be found, which is in the community of his disciples.\n\nThe most important thing to keep in mind about the RCIA is this: it is not merely a new way to prepare adults for Baptism, or for other Christians to become Catholics; Baptism and being received into the Catholic Church is only one of the final steps. The goal of the process is full communion, which means "full, conscious and active participation" in the Eucharist and in the whole life of the Catholic faith community.\n\nPreparation for initiation is a preparation for full discipleship, including the mission to tell others about Christ and the Catholic Church. This is a very serious commitment, requiring much time for discernment with the help of others who walk beside the catechumens and candidates for full communion as Christian friends and teachers.\n\nMany persons who want to join the Catholic Church have already been baptized in another Christian church. They follow a form of these four steps specially adapted to take account of the fact that they are already baptized.\n\n''The First Step: Period of Inquiry''\nAt first, the adult inquirer may accept a Catholic friend's invitation to join him at the Sunday Eucharist. The inquirer's first attraction toward the Church may be deepened a little bit more by that first experience of prayer with Catholics. He is glad of the chance to stay and chat with the parishioners to whom he is introduced. In time, the inquirer will experience the fellowship of many Catholics, and will meet other adults who are also inquiring about the faith.\n\nThe inquirers meet on a weekly basis with the RCIA team (the RCIA director, catechists and sponsors) to ask questions and learn about our faith. After a suitable period of time, the inquirer proceeds to the second step: the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens and the Period of the Catechumenate.\n\n''The Second Step: Rite of Acceptance Into The Order of Catechumens and The Period of The Catechumenate''\nSome inquirers eventually decide that they would like to begin more formal study of the teachings and practices of the Catholic community. To be ready for this next step, the inquirer needs only to have a desire to seek initiation into the Church. They become aware of this desire in discussion with the RCIA team, and they are admitted into that higher level of preparation in a special ceremony in the Church, called the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens. For those inquirers that are already baptized, they are welcomed during the ceremony as candidates seeking full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. In this ceremony the Church symbolically claims the inquirers for Christ by signing them with the cross.\n\nThis is the first time that the inquirers declare their faith publicly before the parish community. No one likes to do something like that all on their own. Some moral support is needed and each inquirer is accompanied by a sponsor. Sponsors are people who have shared their faith with the inquirers, believe that they are ready to begin formal instruction, and are able and willing to stand up and say so in church.\n\nAfter this church ceremony, the inquirers are called either catechumens (if they have never been baptized) or candidates (if they have already been baptized, but need confirmation and/or communion). These names mean that they are learning the teachings of the Church and beginning to live as Catholics do.\n\nAlthough they are not yet allowed to receive the sacraments, the catechumens do enjoy other important privileges of Catholics. They have a right to receive all the help they need to grow in faith, by receiving instruction in the teachings of the Church and by assisting with apostolic works in the parish. They also have a right to be married in the Church, and to receive Christian burial.\n\nDuring this time, the catechumens and candidates who have not yet received the Eucharist, gather at Sunday Mass to share with the community in the Liturgy of the Word. Since they cannot yet receive communion with us, they are dismissed along with their catechist, after the homily, to study more deeply the Sunday readings.\n\nJust as with the time of inquiry, the time spent as catechumens and candidates can vary greatly from person to person. The Sponsors help in this process by being a Christian friend, especially by trying to grow more deeply in their own faith alongside the catechumens and candidates.\n\n''The Third Step: Rite of Election and The Period of Enlightenment and Purification''\nThe period of the catechumenate ends when the catechumens and candidates discern, with the help of their sponsors and the parish RCIA team, that God is calling them to receive the sacraments of initiation at the next Easter Vigil. Before they can receive the sacraments, the catechumens and candidates must be called by the bishop. They must also join their fellow parishioners in their annual Lenten preparation for Easter.\n\nFor this reason, the catechumens and candidates are received and recognized by the bishop at a special ceremony called the Rite of Election, which is usually held on the First Sunday of Lent. This ceremony usually takes place in the diocesan cathedral.\n\nThe Rite of Election marks the end of the period of basic instruction and formation, so the catechumens are now called the elect. The elect share in the same Lenten discipline as the rest of the parishioners, because they all share the same goal -- to prepare themselves to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord at Easter and to receive the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist).\n\nOn the Sundays of Lent, the elect and candidates are prayed for to help them prepare more fully for the sacraments. These ceremonies are called scrutinies. Scrutinies help to strengthen the elect and candidates in these last few weeks of their preparation. In this very simple, yet powerful way, parishioners show that they care deeply for the elect and candidates as sisters and brothers in the Lord and they look forward to the day when they will be able to share the Eucharist together.\n\n''The Fourth Step: Initiation and Full Participation''\nFinally, the whole parish assembles for the Easter Vigil. The Church has always recognized that in baptism we die to sin in Christ's death so that we may rise to new life with him. The major celebration of the Lord's resurrection is therefore the most appropriate occasion for the elect and candidates to celebrate their Baptism, Confirmation and first Eucharist.\n\nFor the newly-initiated or neophytes, the time between Easter and Pentecost is a special opportunity to reflect on the commitment that they have made to the Lord, to his Church and to the local Christian community. The readings that we hear at Mass during the Easter season explain the meaning of the resurrection and of baptism, have special value for the neophytes.\n\nThe neophytes are encouraged to continue the apostolic activities that they began as catechumens and candidates, to undertake other ministries, or to share their talents and insights with the parish community in other ways. Through these ministries, the neophytes take their place in the Church as full, conscious and active members of our community.\n\n''Contact''\nIf you know someone who might like to begin journeying with us in faith, please invite them to contact the [[parish office|How to Contact Us]] and leave a message for our RCIA Director.

The Santo Nino Group brings the image of the infant Jesus of Prague (or Santo Nino) to the familys' house. They pray the rosary and the first day of the novena along with the family. The image stays in the house for nine days for the family to pray. On the ninth day, the group picks up the image and brings the image to another family and continues the cycle again. They pray the rosary and the novena with the family.\n\nThe main purpose of this group is to encourage the family to pray together. There is a saying "the family that prays together, stays together". The other purposes are to teach the young people to pray the rosary, to teach the family that God is always with us and that He answers all prayers especially if you are persistent.\n\nThis group also helps out on most of the church's activities. It is also one way to meet new friends and praise God every week. Everyone is welcome to join us. There are no restrictions or no requirements. Please come and join us to pray.\n

The Cursillo movement was developed by a group of men in the late 1940's in Majorca, Spain as a form of renewal, in order to bring the Church to life in the hearts of men. It is a Christian formation whose fundamental idea is to make it possible for anyone in the world to live a Christian life in a natural way and to learn the Gospel.\n\nHere at St. Anne, the Cursillo Group is composed mostly of lay persons who are active members of different organizations in our parish.

St. Anne is one of the largest parishes in the Oakland Diocese, but maintains a friendly, small-town atmosphere. St. Anne is located in Union City, California, a suburb of the San Francisco Bay Area. St. Anne was founded in 1860 and the original church was built in the old Alvarado District (as the area was known before its charter as Union City). Our new church was built in 1983.\n\nUnion City is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse communities in Northern California and St. Anne reflects this diversity. Families, friends, and visitors are welcome to celebrate in our Mass as well as participate in the many activities and parish organizations. Guest priests and missionaries are often invited to celebrate Mass. For further information please contact our Parish Office.\n\nOur Charter\n {{indent{"We the people of Saint Anne will:\n {{indent{* seek unity in our diverse community\n {{indent{* establish a living church where people practice their faith\n {{indent{* develop a compassionate communal leadership\n {{indent{...to foster and preserve solidarity among God's people."

The Confirmation preparation program at St. Anne’s is a two-year process, with the first year completed as a participant in the ''//Saint Anne// Youth Ministry'' program. Students may begin the enrollment process for Confirmation as early as spring of their freshman year, @@provided@@ they have previously registered for Youth Ministry and attended the fall or spring retreat. The process begins with the enrollment interviews in May, and a decision is made at that time if you would like to enter the program. Those deciding on enrollment are given a candidate agreement that is returned with baptismal & sponsor information, along with a registration fee.\n\nThe immediate preparation for the sacrament begins in the fall. The Confirmation sessions meet twice a month on Sunday’s from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. There are 12 scheduled sessions, along with a weekend retreat, ministry projects, sponsor-candidate sessions, and the celebrations of different Rites.\n\nFor the most up-to-date Confirmation information, go to the program's website: ''[[stanneconfirmation.com|http://stanneconfirmation.com]]''\n\n!Confirmation Retreat\nThe Confirmation Retreat takes place in December @ [[Mission Springs Christian Conference Center|http://www.missionsprings.com/main.php]].

For over 20 years, Youth Ministry at St. Anne’s has focused on a peer ministry model to promote and foster leadership among youth. We use the example of the road to EMMAUS (Luke 24:13-35) as a model that we journey together, with the Lord, in our everyday lived experiences. \n\nEMMAUS is an existing group of young people who have expressed an interest in serving the Church through the Youth Ministry program for one year. For example, a group might prepare youth liturgies and retreats. Other responsibilities include planning and leading workshops, icebreakers and prayer for youth ministry meetings & facilitating small group discussions. \n\nThe peer ministry group also takes on different projects throughout the year like the SOUPER Bowl project…a coat/glove/hat drive in November and a sock drive in the spring, along with our monthly stewardship collections for various charities. \n\nThe EMMAUS peer ministry group has an annual 3-day training retreat during the summer, and also meets monthly for enrichment and planning. Peer ministry is open to high school students’, sophomore and above, already confirmed. Applications are available in April.\n\n!EMMAUS Applications\n[>img[EMMAUS|media/emmaus.jpg]]''[[EMMAUS Applications|dl/youth-ministry-emmaus-form.doc]] for the 2009-2010 are now [[available|dl/youth-ministry-emmaus-form.doc]].''

At St. Anne Youth Ministry, our mission is three-fold; we seek to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the world today, to draw youth to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic Church, and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of the young people in our faith community.\n\nOur programs include:\n** [[Saint Anne Youth Ministry]]\n** [[Confirmation|Youth Ministry - Confirmation]]\n** [[EMMAUS Peer Ministry|Youth Ministry - EMMAUS Peer Ministry]]\n** [[Youth Liturgy|Youth Ministry - Youth Liturgy]]

St. Anne’s offers a TOTAL YOUTH MINISTRY program, which means that in addition to everything else, we place a high emphasis on COMMUNITY WORSHIP. Providing teenagers and their parents with a liturgy toward their spiritual needs is the first step. St. Anne Parish offers a Youth Liturgy on the second and fourth Sunday’s of the month at the 6:00 p.m. mass. There are a wide variety of ways young people are invited to participate in the Youth Liturgy: the Youth Choir, Lector Ministry, Eucharistic Ministry and the Ministry of Welcome.
