The Annals of Saint Anne provides practical direction for adult Catholics in our changing world. We seek to publish practical articles that educate and inform our readership in language that is easy to understand.

We also look for articles that inspire and motivate Catholics to live Catholic, spiritual lives. Articles should have a concrete application in our readers’ lives. Real life examples and stories help make this application. Fiction is also appropriate for a Catholic audience, but the article must have a moral and spiritual content that respects Catholic doctrine.
