We look outward with joy and hope and the knowledge that there are deeds of compassion and courage that will not be done unless we do them.

Care Kits for the Homeless
The Saint Anne's community collects and assembles kits with small essentials like socks, shampoo, granola bars, and toothpaste. These kits, which are easily stowed in the car, can be given out to people in need. The kits also contain locations for services and notes of encouragement. Saint Anne's Sunday Club kids helped to assemble the kits.
The Angel Tree
Each year at Christmas Saint Anne's teams up with the child care center at St. Paul College. Saint Annians buy gifts of clothing, toys and books for the children at the center. This is a way to support children of parents who are working hard towards their education.
