Staff Report From Columbus CEO
Tuesday, January 29th, 2019
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School students are working together to wipe out poverty! Toilet paper donated by school families during the month of January 2019 will be presented to St. Anne Community Outreach during an afternoon, school-wide Wipe Out Poverty celebration, to be held Friday, February 1, 2019 at 2:15 p.m. in the school’s gym. Donations will be distributed to clients who visit Outreach. This special event is planned in conjunction with Catholic Schools Week, an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States.
The primary mission of St. Anne Community Outreach, a ministry of St. Anne Catholic Church, is to provide food and clothing to Muscogee County residents in great need or in emergency situations. Very limited financial assistance for utilities, rent and prescription costs may also be provided, dependent upon the availability of funds. The Center’s secondary mission is to provide the following items when donated: items for the care of infants, linens and blankets, fans, items for elderly care, toiletries, small household items and school supplies. On average, the Center serves over 3,500 families each year.
St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School through Catholic formation and academic excellence, is committed to the spiritual, intellectual, and physical development of the students entrusted to our care.
