St. Mary Anne’s Historians

On Thursday, we launched our St. Mary Anne’s History Group. Participants included Nancy Ball, Bishop Bud Shand, Fr. Sam Hartman, Barbara England, Dru Torregrossa, Janice Flood, Diane Cattrell, and Father John.

The group’s focus is to begin to compile a comprehensive history of St. Mary Anne’s Church; to care for and organize our records dating back to the 1700’s; to offer genealogy research when requested; and to organize and digitize our archive of photographs. We’ll also be interviewing people for an oral and visual history of our historic church.

We need more help! We look for other people who wish to be a part of this large endeavor. There are no planned group meetings, so you can work on your on schedule. If you have a love of history and of St. Mary Anne’s and want to help, please contact Fr. John.
