St. Ann's Feast Day: Message from Sister Nancy Downing

Today is St. Ann's Feast Day, our celebration of more than 165 years of helping mothers and children find hope, healing, and brighter futures.

Today, we have wonderful news. A generous anonymous donor has stepped forward with a matching gift, doubling every St. Ann's Feast Day donation received through July 31. That means your generosity will have twice the impact, helping even more mothers and children build new foundations for their lives through St. Ann's Center.

Double Your Impact - Make Your Gift Today!

Before our Feast Day celebration comes to a close, I wanted to share one final message with you.

Watch Sister Nancy's Video message above!

Last year, St. Ann's served 82 women and children, and 14 families successfully completed our two-year residential program and moved into independent housing. Women reached these incredible milestones knowing that they were supported and encouraged by compassionate people like you.

If you've already made your St. Ann's Feast Day gift, thank you. Your generosity is changing lives every day.

If you haven't yet had the opportunity to participate, there's still time, and your gift will be matched through July 31.

Thank you for celebrating St. Ann's Feast Day with us and for believing in the promise and potential of every mother and child we serve.

Happy St. Ann's Feast Day!

With gratitude,

Sister Nancy Downing, CND
CEO, St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth & Families
