Some of St. Anne's Confirmation and Pre-Confirmation students and parents volunteered at Sunshine Action on Saturday, September 5th :
They worked all morning to sort, pack, tie and carry 400 bags containing canned food, rice and noodles. The large room was packed with about 100 volunteers who altogether packed 4000 bags . It was exhausting work for sure! The reward was knowing that the food bags would be delivered to needy families this weekend. A great service experience for our kids who managed the factory lines well with minimal rest!
We welcome back all CCD students to St. Anne's for another great year of Religious Education. We also welcome all new families who have registered their children, and we look forward to continuing their faith formation in our parish.
