Mission Projects
Since July of 2003, the High School youth of St. Ann's have participated in summer service immersion experiences, where we learn about the importance of serving others by actually serving others! Through prayer, reflection, and direct service, we incorporate work, fun, and Catholic Social Teachings into a weeklong service experience.
In 2003, youth worked on the Rosebud Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. During the summers of 2004 and 2005, we headed to David, Kentucky, and worked with the staff at the David School. Mission 2006 took us to Bay St. Louis, where we worked with Young Neighbors in Action. While we were based in Mississippi, we spent much of our time working in New Orleans, assisting with the massive job of gutting homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The summer of 2007 took us back to New Orleans, this time working with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New Orleans through the Operation Helping Hands outreach. In 2009,
