Faith Facts

The Mystagogia--Now that we have celebrated the Sacred Triduum, our lives are returning to their normal paces. Well, not exactly. With the Easter celebration of the Paschal Mysteries, hopefully, there has been a transformation in all of our lives. This period of ongoing conversion should exemplify our lives as something radically transformed through Christ Jesus. Traditionally, this period is called The Mystagogia, a deepening of our understandings in the mysteries of our faith. "Mystagogia" is one of those strange words that is gradually returning to the Christian vocabulary. Mystagogia describes the ancient custom of spending the first week of Easter with the newly baptized, helping them experience the depths of the truths they had accepted in Baptism, Confirmation and first Eucharist. The Easter season is a time of mystagogia for everyone--for new Christians and old Christians. Mystagogy is the 50-day Eastertide following the celebration of Christian initiation. Newly-baptized persons receive sacramental catechesis and particpate fully with the faithful in the Eucharistic life and in the mission of the church for justice and peace. A program of Christian formation and incorporation into the full life of the Christian community assists the newly-baptized persons following their initiation. This period reminds everyone that growth in faith is ongoing and lifelong. To read more on The Mystagogia,  click here.

Weekend:

 

From Rt. 283 and Rt. 30
 

Take the Rt. 501S Exit (Lititz Pike) or Rt. 272S (Oregon Pike) and follow signs for Downtown Lancaster. Proceed on Route 501S/272S over the bridge. Once across the bridge, you will approach a traffic light. Stay in the left lane and continue straight on to North Duke St.

Immediately after the traffic light, you will find the entrance to the St. Anne Church parking lot on the left-hand side of Duke St. Look for brick pillars marking the entrance to the lot.

There are two doors off the lot for entering the church. One door is accessed by a ramp from the parking lot.  It is wheelchair accessible; and, there are two designated handicapped parking spaces located adjacent to the ramp entrance.
