The purposes of the St. Ann's Society are:

 

1.  (A) To receive every month the Holy Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist in order to strengthen themselves in the practice of the Christian virtues and to set for their children and others a good example.

(B) To imitate the virtues of St. Ann and for the sake of God to do everything towards a Christian bringing up of their children and to support one another in this most noble work by mutual prayer.

(C) To furnish further material in the course of time as need arises at school and church.

(D) To foster among the members of this society a deeper spiritual life, by assisting one another in sickness and need, and especially at the hour of death.

(E) To promote a better understanding of the truths of our holy faith among the members, and frequent discussions of religious truths.

Membership in the Society is open to any Catholic woman of St. Josephs parish, 18 years or over. Anyone interested in joining St. Ann's Society is invited to attend a regular meeting or may contact any of the officers.
