Over the past year, The Saint Anne Community Life Commission (“CLC”) was reorganized and re-energized – this has been a very exciting time for the Parish and our Commission! The main purpose of the CLC is to foster the strong bonds of Christian fellowship that we all desire within and throughout Saint Anne. There are many ways to do this. For example, social events that are well planned and executed can create a welcoming atmosphere and serve as excellent stepping stones for parishioners to become more involved with our parish.

Without question, a well-motivated and enthusiastically involved faith community is not only critical to parish operations – from Mass attendance, to fundraising, to volunteer staffing – but more importantly, it helps to make for a true outward expression of the Saint Anne faith community to which we all belong.

To help accomplish these objectives, the CLC formed an active Social Committee of core volunteers to help plan and hold social events and fundraisers. Please consider joining the CLC Social Committee. While the Committee is not a new concept, we are intending a new level of energy, focus and visibility within our community as we move forward.
