Our hearts are with the Annunciation Catholic community in Minneapolis following today’s tragic shooting. We lift in prayer the students, families, staff, and parish as they face this unimaginable loss and seek God’s comfort in this difficult time.
We invite you to join us tomorrow (August 28) for 9:00 a.m. Mass in the Sanctuary followed by Eucharistic Adoration (until 11 a.m.) to pray in a special way for the Annunciation community.
Please enter through Doors B, C or D. Handicap-accessible entrances are located at Doors B and D. Handicap parking is available in Lot A (near the east entrance driveway) and adjacent to Door D.
