St. Ann Nursery

…Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
— Mark 10:14

Our Nursery Program at St. Ann Catholic Parish offers families the opportunity to attend weekend Masses and participate in on campus events, while providing  a positive, meaningful experience for all children receiving care. We operate with part-time, fully trained Caregivers. 

The nursery is Located in St. Ann Center room 306.

(Right across from the entrance to the “Choir Side” of the Main Church.)

All parents must partake in a scheduled Mass or church event and remain on St. Ann property while receiving childcare services. We do not operate as a drop-in Nursery Program.
