About St. Ann Parish, Rosebud
St. Ann is a small Catholic parish rooted in the rural community of Rosebud, Texas, in Falls County. Standing at the corner of Stalworth and Rowena Streets, the church has long served the farming and ranching families of the area. The parish belongs to the Diocese of Austin and shares its priest and many ministries with two neighboring rural parishes — Sacred Heart in Lott and St. Michael in Burlington — forming a tight-knit cluster of faith communities across the county.
Parish Cluster: St. Ann, Sacred Heart, and St. Michael
St. Ann is not a stand-alone parish in administration but is linked with two sister churches in the same rural area of Falls County. Sacred Heart Catholic Church is located in Lott, Texas, and St. Michael Catholic Church is in Burlington, Texas. Together the three parishes share clergy, religious-education programs, and event planning, allowing each small community to sustain a robust Catholic life despite its size. This clustering model is common across rural dioceses and lets parishioners from all three towns participate in CCD, Holy Hours, and major feast-day celebrations together.

Religious Education (CCD)
Children of the parish receive their Catholic formation through the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) program, which prepares them for the Sacraments of First Communion, Confirmation, and ongoing faith growth. CCD is shared across the St. Ann / Sacred Heart / St. Michael cluster, allowing children from all three small towns to learn and worship together. The program's Facebook page — St. Ann / St. Michael CCD — posts schedules, class updates, and family resources.
