St. Ann's Women's Guild

Mission Statement: "Guided by faith, prayer, knowledge, and concern, our women of the church help build community and St. Ann's through friendship, spiritual reflection, fundraising activities, and support to those in need."

Stewardship Needs: All women of the parish are invited to attend monthly meetings which include fun, food, fabulous programs and activities. Volunteers are needed for committees, Apple Annie and the Garage Sale. Also come just for community, this is where you belong.

Membership Registration: For 2011-12, August through July, our dues will be $15 per year. This small amount goes to off set the cost of our gracious hospitality, food and decorations, at each meeting; Christmas Gala Luncheon, Day of Reflection extras, Evening of Reflection and Installation Luncheon extras. It’s quite a bargain for $15!
