Altar Rosary Society - Children's Christmas Sale

St. Anne Altar Rosary Society is so happy to be back at St. Anne School for our Children’s Christmas sale.


For those of you who are new to the school, we will be selling religious articles and Christmas gifts for the entire family. We will be in the library on December 7 and 8.


The students will be able to purchase gifts on those two days. If you feel inclined, send your child to school with a few extra dollars and allow them to pick out some special (and very affordable) gifts for you and even their siblings. It's so sweet and they love the independence in picking their gifts. If any of the parents would like to see the articles we are selling, we would love for you to come by on either of the two days.

Christmas Program - 1st - 5th grade


On December 14th, at 6:00pm the students from 1st - 5th grades will be treating you to a beautiful Advent and Christmas Cantata

"We Shall Prepare, " to get you into the Christmas spirit.


Parents, please review letter from Mrs. Jones for performance details.
