A prayer of Saint Anselm

O my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You,
where and how to find You.
You are my God and You are my all and I have never seen You.
You have made me and remade me,
You have bestowed on me all the good things I possess,
Still I do not know You.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek You.
I have not yet done that for which I was made.
Teach me to seek You.
I cannot seek You unless You teach me
or find You unless You show Yourself to me.
Let me seek You in my desire,
let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by loving You,
let me love You when I find You.

#TogetherWeCanDoSoMuch

Mom’s Together - a new group forming in 2018

Being a Mom is really important. It’s sometimes really wonderful, and sometimes really hard. Mom’s supporting each other and sharing good news can be a real delight. Saint Anselm’s will be forming a Mom’s Together group, aiming to bring together mom’s with young kids at home and in school. We will be sharing more information soon, but spread the word already to moms you know. It’s not necessary to belong to the parish to join the group. More to come . . .

Holy Graffiti

This summer generous parishioners and friends have been repainting our building.
Along the way, a wise rector in the diocese suggested inviting church members to write their hopes, memories, prayers on the shingles of the church before they would be painted.
Beautiful messages appeared! Here are some of them. You could call them holy graffiti.

Summer outdoor eucharist

On Sunday, July 1, 2018 at 9:30 am our second annual Summer Outdoor Eucharist will be celebrated here on Saint Anselm's beautiful grounds.  Here are photographs taken at last year's event.  Plan on joining us!
