St. Ann's Feast Day: Message from Sister Nancy Downing
Today is officially St. Ann's Feast Day—a day that honors a legacy of faith, compassion, and community that has changed lives for more than 165 years.
Throughout this campaign, you've met mothers who found safety, confidence, and hope at St. Ann's. Their stories remind us that when a community comes together, lives are transformed.

As we celebrate this special day, we're also grateful to share some wonderful news. A generous anonymous donor has stepped forward with a matching gift, meaning your St. Ann's Feast Day donation can have twice the impact for the mothers and children who need St. Ann's most.
Before our Feast Day celebration comes to a close, I wanted to share one final message with you.
If you've already made your St. Ann's Feast Day gift, thank you. Your generosity is helping mothers and children build brighter futures every day.
If you haven't yet had the opportunity to participate, there's still time—and your gift will be matched. Every dollar you give will be doubled through the generosity of this anonymous friend, helping even more mothers and children find the safety, support, and community they need to move from crisis to confidence.
For more than 165 years, generous friends like you have made this mission possible. We hope you'll help us continue that legacy by making your St. Ann's Feast Day gift today while this matching opportunity is available.
Thank you for celebrating with us—and for believing in every mother and child who walks through our doors.
Happy St. Ann's Feast Day!
With gratitude,
Sister Nancy Downing, CND
