Sacraments
Baptism
One of the highlights of any Catholic parish is the celebration of baptism – welcoming new believers to Christ and his Church. We welcome parents seeking the baptism of their children, as well as adults who are interested in learning more about Jesus and being a disciple.
Parents anticipating the baptism of a child are invited to contact Fr. Tom Lindner, our pastor.
Adults who are seeking information about Jesus, faith, the Church and possibly celebrating Baptism and the other sacraments of initiation are invited to contact Lee Ann Kudziak, co-director of Disciple Formation. 715-849-3930
Confirmation
The Catholic Church calls parents the “primary educators” in the faith of their children. Therefore, here at St. Anne Parish we have parents work with their children at home. We provide resources to use, as well as, family gatherings throughout the year. We prepare as a parish community—both public and Catholic School.
Preparation for these sacraments typically occurs during second grade, but we welcome older children who are baptized and would like to receive these sacraments.
Please contact Lee Ann Kudziak, co-director of Disciple Formation, for more information.

Sacraments Preparation
We gather as families of the Eastside Parishes in Wausau to prepare our children for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion. Our Catholic Church calls the family the “Domestic Church.” Therefore, we work as partners in the formation of our children.
