"Giving the Gift of Faith Tree" St. Anne’s Church has about 200 candidates to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. As part of their formation process, the candidates attend a 3 day retreat, hosted by the Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry. On these retreats, the teens dive deeper into their faith and see other young people, like themselves, living out their faith. Unfortunately, this weekend costs $125 per student to attend, which can be difficult for some families. In an effort to provide the youth with this beautiful experience, we need your help. You can help our young Catholics grow into a deeper relationship with Christ by: 1. Visiting our “Giving the Gift of Faith” tree on the back walls of the church every weekend in December. 2. Picking up an ornament and envelope with a confirmation student’s name. 3. Placing your donation in the envelope and dropping it off in the Parish Office. 4. Please keep the ornament, place it on your Christmas tree and pray for that student for the Advent and Christmas Seasons. We thank you for your support! Please pray for these young people preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this coming year.

"Dando el Don de la Fe"

La Iglesia Santa Ana tiene 200 candidatos preparándose para recibir el Sacramento de Confirmación. Como parte del proceso de formación, los candidatos asisten a un retiro de 3 días, organizado por la Oficina de Ministerio a Jóvenes y Jóvenes Adultos. En estos retiros, los adolescentes se profundizan en su fe y ven a otros jóvenes, como ellos, viviendo su fe. Desafortunadamente este retiro cuesta $125 por cada estudiante lo cual puede ser difícil para algunas familias. En un esfuerzo para proveerles esta experiencia a los jóvenes, necesitamos su ayuda. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Usted puede ayudar a nuestros Jóvenes Católicos profundizar su relación con Cristo: Visitando nuestro árbol “Dando el Don de la Fe” en el vestíbulo de la Iglesia cada fin de semana de Diciembre. Recogiendo un ornamento y un sobre con el nombre de un estudiante de Confirmación. Colocando su donación en el sobre y entregándolo en la Oficina Parroquial. Por favor, quédese con su ornamento, colóquelo en su árbol de Navidad, y rece por ese estudiante durante las temporadas de Adviento y Navidad. Le agradecemos su apoyo! Por favor rece por estos jóvenes que están preparándose para recibir el Sacramento de la Confirmación este año que viene.
