St. Anne Catholic School and Preschool Academy

2023 Guardian Angel Appeal

Dear St. Anne Parish and School Supporter,

This Christmas Season, we recall how the hope of the world rested in one Child. The long-awaited Savior came as the Little Babe of Bethlehem. After Jesus began his public ministry of proclaiming the Kingdom of God, “the Lord appointed seventy[-two] others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit” (Luke 10:1). As we write this letter, we nearly match that number. This year, we are 71 strong – 71 PreK-5^th graders that daily bring joy and hope to our hearts. Like Our Lord Jesus, we strive to form them to be his disciples for the 21^st century, who will, in turn, form the future in preparation for his coming in glory. We are humbled and grateful to have this mission as well as to be able to count on your continued support. We sincerely thank all who have generously donated to our annual Guardian Angel Appeal since it began in 2020. Donations to last year’s Appeal raised over $23,000! This much-needed financial support helped St. Anne School provide an excellent Catholic education to our students while remaining affordable for our families.

Can you help us raise $30,000 this year? If so, we invite you to join us this Christmas and New Year in our 2023 Guardian Angel Appeal to show your support for St. Anne Catholic School and Preschool Academy. In gratitude for your support, we will remember you, our Guardian Angel benefactors, by praying for you every week at our School Mass and by displaying your name on the Parish and School lobby television throughout the school year. In this giving season, we invite you to support our 2023 Guardian Angel Appeal with your charitable contribution. We thank you in advance for your generosity to this year’s Appeal. May the Lord Jesus richly bless you and your families this Christmas and New Year!
