St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church, Gilbert

Amazing parish! We took a family road trip to Arizona to visit family and the first thing I looked for in the area was a Catholic Church. We were truly blessed that they had just finished construction and remodeling this week so Sunday we were able to attend mass here.

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 location for me and I was intrigued since they offer Latin (Triditine?) Mass, which I never have 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. UPDATE: I continued to attend Mass during my stays in Gilbert area. The new sanctuary is very beautiful and offers a wonderful place for prayer. The confession line was a bit confusing (sit in second from back pew row). The communion line appears to be restored to a more normal order. This community distributes communion at the communion rail. I don't know if that was always true or new after the sanctuary re-model. It was refreshing to see the option. if you are in town, I recommend attending Mass here.
