We now have an AED which is located in the hallway between the Parish Centre and Religious Education Office.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With simple audio and visual commands, AEDs are designed to be simple to use for the layperson.

Urgently needed: FANS of all sizes for Migrant Farm Worker cabins Clean and in good working order, please. Drop off at church or contact Mary Phillips at 604 996 5854 (cell) or 604 852 3437 (home).

Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

Looking for a couple of volunteers to go up on the Parish Centre roof to sweep off needles and branches and to clean the gutters before we begin painting. Please call the Parish Office 604-852-5602.

 It is back! ST. ANN’S CHRISTMAS MARKET November 2nd & 3rd.  There will be a “Pie Sale” as part of this year’s market.

Dear Parents / Parishioners,

St. Ann’s Parish is proposing to open a Catholic Daycare in the Parish Center in the fall of 2019, to accommodate the needs of the families of St. Ann’s and St. James. This is NOT intended to replace the existing preschool at St. Ann’s or Thunder Club at St. James school but to coordinate activities where appropriate.  To determine the needs of our parish communities for a daycare, we are conducting a survey.

We are proposing to provide a quality, non-profit daycare for preschool children ages 30months to 5 years, Monday to Friday from 7: 00a.m to 6:00 p.m.

The daycare will be faith- based, inclusive and will nurture the needs of the “whole” child. The program cost is to be determined later.

Please complete the Survey by July 30, 2018 at the following link. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3NNDKD6

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey.

St. Ann’s Parish and The Carmelite Missionary Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus.
