Our primary purpose is a spiritual one. We attend the 8:30 a.m. Mass together on the first Sunday of the month. Members practice devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary through the recitation of the Rosary. We attend retreats and days of recollection. Our patron is St. Anne, the grandmother of Jesus.
Our secondary purpose is furnishing and maintaining the altar and the altar supplies, vestments for priests and servers, the altar breads, wine and candles, altar cloths and linens, incense supplies, and any other needs. Membership dues, fund-raisers and private donations fund these purchases.
Some of our activities include visiting the sick and attending funerals of the parish, organizing receptions for the parish, bringing Bingo to our area nursing homes, hosting our annual St. Patrick’s Day card party, and organizing the parish rummage sales—just to name a few.
