Help Make a Child’s Christmas Bright: Gift a Child in Need
-
Every year since 2005, St. Ann’s has teamed up with Blessed Sacrament parish and the Spanish Catholic Center, a division of Catholic Charities, to provide gifts to 500 children in need. This year, due to the constraints of COVID-19 and the Public Health Emergency, parishioners are asked to provide gift cards to children in lieu of requested gifts.
Parishioners are still able to select one or more children or a whole family to sponsor. Rather than distribute the names of children from our Angel Tree in the church, we are making the - 2022 LINK COMING SOON!!! list of children to sponsor available online.

Faithful parishioners, please continue to remember your parish at this time through weekly remote giving via Faith Direct.

Help St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth & Families
"St. Ann's currently has 21 mothers and 24 children residing in our programs. Using creative means, our staff continues to offer clinical and social work services. Social workers check in with families via FaceTime. Some of our moms and older children are engaged in distance learning, and our education specialist is on-site to support them. Several of our moms remain employed in “essential personnel” positions, which are often stressful. Their children are cared for by moms who have lost their jobs. Two nights a week, our Board members provide a catered meal for the families. Other friends have food and household items delivered to St. Ann’s. These gestures of goodness and others abound and give us hope.
