The Parish of Saints Joachim and Anne (SJA) is a welcoming family of faith. We are proudly Catholic, rooted in the teachings and Sacraments of the Catholic Church and guided by our shepherd, Archbishop Bernard Hebda in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. We strive to follow Jesus Christ, live a life of generous Christian discipleship, and joyfully lead our families, neighbors, and all people to a loving relationship with our Savior by means of prayer and the Sacraments, education, evangelization, and service.

We are stewards of three beautiful church buildings and a thriving Catholic school, built by the faith and heroic sacrifices of those who came before us who lived their faith here in Shakopee.

Our patrons, Saints Joachim and Saint Anne, are the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of her divine Son, Jesus Christ. We count on their prayers and look to their example as we strive to be faithful to our mission to passionately lead people to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church here in Shakopee.
