75th Annual Novena Circa 1982

According to Christian apocryphal and Islamic tradition, Saint Anne was the mother of Mary and the maternal grandmother of Jesus. Mary's mother is not named in the canonical gospels. In writing, Anne's name and that of her husband Joachim come only from New Testament apocrypha, of which the Gospel of James (written perhaps around 150) seems to be the earliest that mentions them. The mother of Mary is mentioned but not named in the Quran.

Annual Novena in Honor of Saint Anne

For the nine days leading up to July 26, hundreds of people gather at Our Lady of Fatima Parish and its Shrine of St. Anne.

The parish, at California Avenue and Pershing Road in the Brighton Park neighborhood, is home to two first-class relics of St. Anne, the mother of Mary, and has hosted novenas leading up to her July 26 feast day for 115 years.

Participants can come for morning Mass and the novena service, or afternoon or evening novena services on each of the nine days. Three times during the novena period, including on the feast day, they walk in a candlelit procession through the neighborhood.

Why do these pilgrims think St. Anne will answer their prayers?

Wayne Smith, who participated in the 2009 novena, put it simply. "St. Anne was the grandmother of Jesus, her grandson. If a grandmother asks her grandson to do something, he will listen."
