Tributes | St. Ann's Day 2026
St. Ann's Center's annual summer fundraising campaign coincides with the feast day of its patron saint, St. Ann, celebrated on July 26. As the mother of the Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus, St. Ann symbolizes the strength, wisdom, and care of those who help nurture the next generation.
To celebrate this special day for our community while benefiting the mothers and children we serve, donors and supporters of St. Ann's Center have made special gifts in tribute or memorial to women, mothers, mother figures, and other special persons in their lives.

The Power of Connection: Note from Sister Nancy Downing, CEO
St. Ann’s is a place where women lift each other up. A community that exists because of you.
Connection is so critical for young women like Africa, who come to St. Ann’s often facing a “storm of unknowns.” Then – supported by caring peers, staff, and volunteers – women learn they don’t have to carry it all alone.
