It's that time of the year again and we need your help! Start gathering your gently-used book donations now, because we will be collecting them beginning January 31 at the Church. We take all
kinds of books (just no periodicals or encyclopedias please). We will need the extra effort this year because we will be opening early for a special school-parish preview before the 5:30pm Mass on February 6. Consider donating what you can!

Operation Saint Nick Makes Delivery to A-SPAN
|
On December 21, the students of Saint Ann Catholic School gathered in their households to assemble "stockings" for A-SPAN. Altogether, 100 pairs of tube socks were filled (more accurately, stuffed) with toiletries, small treats, and other necessities for those who are less fortunate. We also donated one huge box of hats, gloves, and scarves. as well as two boxes of extra toothpaste, deodorant, soap, mouthwash, etc.
Thank you for remembering our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Library Assistance Needed
Reminder for ALL Volunteers:
- All parents must be fully compliant with Diocesan Child Protection requirements if you wish to volunteer where supervision of students is involved. Compliance consists of attending a VIRTUS Child Protecton seminar, undergoing two background checks and filling out additional miscellaneous paperwork. Packets of paperwork can be obtained from the office.
- If already compliant, you must watch the "Keeping the Promise Alive" video each school year for continuing education. The video may be viewed in the school at the following listed times:
- Any Tuesday and Thursday when school is in session at 2:30 pm
- Any 2:15pm dismissal Wednesday at 9:00 and 10:00am and 1:00pm
We ask that you notify the school office in advance so we can be prepared and waiting for your arrival.
- When visiting/assisting at the school you must sign-in at the front office upon arrival. Volunteers will be given a pass. The pass alerts the faculty and students that you are an approved visitor.
