History of St. Anne's Guild
Three women talked and listened and talked more. It was 1982. Father Jim Rent was pastor, and there was an expressed need among the women of St. Anne Parish to connect with one another in prayer, to serve God through service to the church, and to build a network of friendship and support among fellow Catholics.
Poppy Doyle, JoAnn Edmundson, and Joan O'Leary called on 33 ladies of the parish to meet in September 1983 to become a steering committee. The proposal was to form the St. Anne's Guild. The goals were simple: to pray and work together and strive to make St. Anne a beautiful, spiritual, and friendly church. The targets for work to be done were many. The need to extend the wonderful spirit of warmth, hope, love and commitment to more parishioners was very real.
After several planning meetings, the Guild was officially launched in the spring of 1984. The workers were tireless, extending hospitality and help at the most joyful and the saddest times – weddings, baptisms and funerals; they cleaned, planted, did fund raising to further the work of the Guild and the church. Each task assumed, was accomplished.
Now over 40 years old, steady growth has occurred in God's service. The members, more than 200 strong, through prayer and work, have achieved grace and growth, and the Guild has become a beacon of love and commitment.
