Veterans Day 2023

St. Anne School celebrates Veterans Day 2023!!

The students of St. Anne will be celebrating all veterans on Wednesday, November 8^th, at the school Mass at 8:30 am. We would like to honor those who have served our country and helped provide for our freedom with a Veteran’s Day Celebration.

To honor veterans and allow the students to see those who served and gave so much to our country, we will have a Veteran’s Wall of Honor display in the hall by the library. We ask that you send your photos of those family members who have served in the armed forces. Give them to your homeroom teacher or Mrs. Ross in the library and they will be displayed on the wall. Make sure your name is taped onto the back, along with the name of the person you are honoring, and how they are related to the student (i.e. grandfather, father, mother, aunt, etc.).

Please invite any family member or friend who has served in the armed forces to attend our annual Veteran’s Day Celebration on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. The celebration begins with Mass in the church at 8:30 a.m., followed by a reception in the library.

Advent by Candlelight

CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO OR TO REGISTER FOR ADVENT BY CANDLELIGHT

Advent by Candlelight is an annual event catered toward the women of our St. Anne Catholic Community. It is an elegant evening created to celebrate our roles as Women of Faith, Mothers, Grandmothers, Sisters, Aunts, Daughters, Teachers, Friends and Caretakers of our communities. Many of us wear more than one of these hats and often forget these roles are not just duties we perform, but are acts of love and service to God that can only be achieved through His grace. These roles, this VOCATION we have answered YES to, can often leave us feeling overstretched, drained or scattered. Let us utilize this most blessed Season of Advent to prepare our hearts and recenter our minds on the gift of womanhood. Join us for this beautiful night of faith, fellowship, gratitude and reflection as we honor women, past, present and future who choose to live this vocation with Grace.

For more information about hosting or decorating a table, please visit the school website.
