Philanthropy

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and ye gave me food: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in, I was naked, and ye clothed me…

Mindful of these words, the Parish of Saint Anna supports the work of numerous philanthropic, projects, organizations, and ministries.  In addition to monies gifted from our parish budget, and donations from the Ladies Philoptochos Society, 10% of our fundraisers directly benefit designated charities.
