CEO's Corner

St. Ann's Day 2026: A Community of Care. A Lifetime of Impact.

"As the number of women and children we serve continues to grow, and as their needs continue to evolve, we make this St. Ann's Feast Day appeal to our friends and longtime supporters," said Sister Nancy Downing, CEO of St. Ann's Center. "We invite you to renew your investment in the work of strengthening families, nurturing community, and creating brighter futures every day."

The Power of Connection: Note from Sister Nancy Downing, CEO

St. Ann’s is a place where women lift each other up. A community that exists because of you. Connection is so critical for young women like Africa, who come to St. Ann’s often facing a “storm of unknowns.” Then – supported by caring peers, staff, and volunteers – women learn they don’t have to carry it all alone.
