Saint Anne's Council has a membership of approximately 140 members. Our meetings are in our church at 7:30 pm on the first Tuesday of the month from September to June. The meetings begin with approximately 30 minutes of a spiritual/ educational program followed by a business meeting and a time for socializing.
We speak out through personal letter writing and formal resolutions, on issues needing moral direction, which may extend beyond our national borders. These resolutions are advanced to the National council, which presents them to the government for action.
You will find our members active in all aspects of parish life, from taking the Eucharist to shut-ins to participating in walkathons. The money realized through a variety of fundraisers allows us to support various charities as well as needs within our own parish. We serve at funeral receptions, with the assistance of other parishioners. Guest speakers at our meetings, keep us abreast of local, national and international issues.
We continue to welcome new members to join us, as a group of ladies experiencing
'fun, faith
and fulfillment'!
