St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Gilbert

I went in for my first mass last Sunday because the non denominational churches I had been going to were slowly straying away from the gospel into more secular and wordly beliefs. While I may be ignorant to the traditions of the Catholic church because I'm not Catholic, (not yet at least) I've finally been to a service that I feel doesn't stray from the gospel. I will be returning; Even if I don't know all the right words to say I still feel welcomed. God bless 🙏

It's always interesting to see other parish communities during travel. Spending much travel time in Gilbert area I'm looking for a convenient and reverend parish. This parish is at a convenient locaton for me and I was intrigued since they offer Latin (Triditine?) Mass, which I never has a chance to attend. St. Anne is a large community and appears to be very active with many activities. The sanctuary is undergoing a remodel and is no accessible/viewable. In the mean time, the alter is in a small area of the sanctuary and Mass is presided ad orientum (although West as best as I can tell). Communion is truly confusing perhaps because of the remodel. There are all different forms of receiving (mask/no mask, kneeling, standing, hand, tongue, etc.). Communion is served back to front. All mass responses and readings are shown on the wall in front. The priest is certainly reverend and attended a few weeks here.
