St. Ann's Society

St. Ann ’s Christian Mother’s Society, founded in August of 1905, is affiliated with the Archconfraternity of Christian Mothers in Pittsburgh, PA. All women are invited to join the Society, whether married, widowed, divorced, or single (with or without children). The Society’s objectives are to willingly promote the Christian education and ideals set out in the Archconfraternity’s Principal Rules and Regulations. St. Ann’s primary purpose is to be sisters in faith and to pray through Mary, our Intercessor, for all children and to instill in our children Christian morals and ideals. Some of the current projects include:

• Sponsorship of Allied Women’s Center for Unwed Mothers.
• Sponsorship of Promise Pointe mission through support of the IWBS Sisters.
• Sponsorship of Divine Mercy ministry in India through support of Fr. Thumma Prathap
• Sponsorship of OLPH School Endowment Fund.
• Sewing and laundering the parish’s altar linens, baptismal bibs, cassocks, and stoles.
• Recruiting volunteers and scheduling weekly church cleaning.
• Providing an annual fundraiser (Chicken Dinner) in conjunction with St. Michael’s Society. Scholarships funded by this fundraiser assist four OLPH students to attend a Catholic high school. Restoration of candlesticks, candelabras, lectionary stand, monstrance and items in need of refurbishing.
