Love Helps Plants - and People - Grow!

April 13, 2023

This blog is part of a monthly reflection series from St. Ann's Center CEO, Sister Mary Bader.

Headshot - Sister Mary Bader and autumn treesHappy Easter from St. Ann’s Center! I hope you are enjoying this first week of the Easter season. What gorgeous Spring weather!

True to the season, life is blooming at St. Ann’s Center - outside and within. Around our little campus the trees have flowered pink, yellow, purple and bright green – a regular Easter palette! And inside St. Ann’s, our resident families have enjoyed bonding, celebrating, and growing together in an atmosphere lovingly decorated by volunteers. 

Thank you for making this season special for St. Ann’s families. Because of you, mothers and their children who once faced crisis now have a caring, nurturing environment where they can plan for independent and happy futures - as well as celebrate holidays!

A longtime donor recently wrote to St. Ann’s and shared the following quote:

“Love helps plants – and people – to grow and thrive.”

Please know that YOUR love is a big part of what helps St. Ann's families to grow and thrive!

Sincerely,

Sister Mary Bader, CEO
