Last Saturday, our high school Cénaculo Youth Program visited the residents at the Little Sisters of the Poor Jeanne Jugan House. While there, they sang songs with the residents, visited with them to hear their stories, and prayed with them. It was a blessed opportunity to perform a Work of Mercy — visit the sick — with elderly brothers and sisters in Christ!
On Saturday, September 27, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Ricardo Araya, Bishop of Cruz del Eje, ordained Santiago Houssay, Marcelo Olmedo, and Samuel Casarin to the priesthood in Villa Cura Brochero, Cordoba, Argentina. Members from the various communities of the Saint John Society accompanied them during the ceremony. The St. John Society celebrates our 7:00pm Mass, and runs our ARK Young Adult Ministry and our Middle and High School Youth Programs.
You helped us to raise $324.56 for our Youth Program! We will use this funding in the near future for scholarships for our youth to subsidize retreats, pilgrimages, and more. Thank you immensely to all who donated, helped and supported us. Click here to view photos and videos of the event!

A graduating senior in the St. Ann Youth Program explains what he received from the Program during his years of involvement. His touching testimony is worth a read! Learn more about our Program at stanndc.org/youth
Last week, St. Ann was happy to send two faithful teens in our Youth Program, Ronan and Fred, to join 25+ teens from throughout the Washington Archdiocese attending Leaders Inspired To Evangelize (LITE). They had a great time and grew in their Catholic faith!
