During our Christ in Christmas ministry, we ask Parishioners to donate $10.00 Wal Mart gift cards to Saint Anne’s. Sister Pat used these gift cards throughout the years to by perishable food for the needy families of Saint Anne’s. Use clothing is collected and sold on Saturdays in the “Thrift Store’ on the property. The processes are used by Sister Pat to pay the utilities bills.

Sister Pat Godri-Resident Pastoral Minister, fluent in Spanish, has been serving Saint Anne’s for approximately seventeen years. She has been a Nun for 49 years, belonging to the order of the Sisters of Charity, St. Elizabeth. She has full responsibility of the Parish.

Saint Anne’s desperately needs our help, currently they have a problem with their driveway as a result of their sewer line. The sewer line had broken a few years ago but Saint Anne's could not afford to have their drive way fixed. As a result of not fixing the driveway correctly the new sewer line is in jeopardy and it is blocking people from getting to the “Thrift Store”. Jim Boyle of our council 9543 has put a committee together to do an analysis of how best to correct the problem with the deteriorating driveway and sewer line. Please see pictures below
