It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Pastor, Father Bernie Pietrzak. He passed away today, November 29th, after a cardiac event.


Father Bernie served our Saint Anne community with unwavering dedication, compassion, and a profound commitment to his faith. He touched the lives of many with his inspiring homilies, guidance, and selfless service.


During this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the entire parish community. Details regarding his Funeral Mass and other arrangements will be communicated as soon as they are available.


Let us gather together as a community tomorrow, Thursday, November 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the Church to pray, while offering solace and support to one another as we mourn the loss of our beloved pastor. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his legacy continue to inspire us all.


With gratitude,


Father Joji Thanugundla and Father Rodolfo Ramirez,

Associate Pastors, Saint Anne Catholic Community
