RENEWAL
Renewal at St. Ann's has a unique flavor because it reflects the spiritual heritage of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts. The mission of the Congregation is to proclaim the love of God as revealed in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The fundamental aim of renewal is revitalizing the HEART -- that each person may come to experience the Sacred Hearts of mercy, of goodness, of healing, of teaching. ENTHRONEMENT in the home is the sign of this change of heart.
