[Magdalen] Chain of Command.

Saint Annes' Feast Day was 26th July.

There are lots of Novenas to Saint Anne/Ann in RC parishes
here in NE Pennsylvania USA.  The most important is at the largest
church in the region, Saint Anne's (Minor) Basilica, Scranton,
PA where the crowds are in the thousands.
 
I was cantor at one of these Novena Masses some years ago
with the infamous Litany of Saint Anne.  This features
the plainchant tune with the following section:
 
   "We ask Saint Anne to ask her daughter (the Virgin Mary) to
ask her Son (Jesus Christ) to ask his Father (God the Father) to
grant our petitions."
 
Martin Luther rolls over in his grave when he encounters that one!
