Welcome - Saint Ann Chapel

Saint Ann Chapel is open for Mass on Sundays, and Evening Prayer followed by Bible Study discussion on Wednesday evenings.

Trinitytide/Ordinary Time

5 AUG, 6:30 PM (PT): Evening Prayer & Bible Study at 541 Melville Avenue, Palo Alto, California

Bible Study Topic: 39 Articles of Religion

We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer and the King James version of the Bible in all our services. Come join us in prayer and discussion this Wednesday evening, with good fellowship and refreshments.

Holy Communion

Mass is celebrated in person on Sundays at the usual 11:00 AM time and will also continue to be available online via both the Zoom platform and Facebook. Evening Prayer will be offered on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM, followed by Bible Study both in the church and on Zoom. If you are interested in attending either of these activities, please send an email to us and ask to be added to the mailing list.

The Offering Plate will come around held by one of our congregation during the service. Please place your pledges or other offerings in the Offering Plate at that time.

Holy Communion will be distributed in both kinds, but only by intinction. When receiving Communion, please extend your hands with palms crossed (or one palm facing upwards), and the Priest will place a host in your hand. The server, or if there is only the Priest, will come back around, dip the host in the wine and place it on your tongue.

After Mass, we meet in the Parish Hall around the back of the building for delicious snacks, a variety of drinks, and good fellowship.

If you are seeking a timeless and vibrant expression of faith, with beautiful liturgy and music and biblical preaching in a traditional Christian worship service, St. Ann Chapel Anglican Church might be the place for you.

The text of our services comes from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Our small professional choir lends weight to our songs and chants and fills our chapel with the glorious sound of praise.

We hope that you enjoy exploring our website and will visit us on a Sunday morning so that we can welcome you in person.
