🌿 Welcome Summer with Our Lady 🌿

There is something beautiful about stepping into your garden and being reminded to lift your eyes toward heaven.

A statue of Our Lady or the Holy Family transforms an ordinary corner of your yard into a place of prayer, peace, and reflection.

Visit The Grotto to explore our collection of garden statues and devotional items. Every purchase supports the mission of St. Anne Outreach, serving our neighbors in need throughout our community.

St Anne Outreach needs your help!

SUMMER SHOULDN'T MEAN EMPTY PLATES

As school cafeterias close for the summer, many local families lose access to the meals their children count on every day. For some, the long days of summer bring more than sunshine—they bring difficult choices between paying bills and putting food on the table.

At St. Anne Outreach, we are already seeing the need grow. Every week, our shelves help feed hundreds of families across our community, but we cannot do it alone.

This summer, you can help ensure that no child goes without a meal. Whether you donate a bag of groceries, organize a food drive, or simply share this post, your generosity becomes hope for a family facing food insecurity.

Most needed items:
🥫 Canned vegetables and fruit
🥣 Cereal and oatmeal
🍚 Rice and pasta
🥛 Shelf-stable milk
🍲 Canned meals and soups

Drop off donations at St. Anne Outreach, 1820 Box Road, Columbus, GA.

Because no child should spend summer wondering where their next meal will come from. ❤️

🚨 WE NEED YOUR STUFF! 🚨

As we enter this Lenten season we’re invited to loosen our grip on what we don’t need...

Right now, families in our community are facing empty refrigerators, eviction notices, and utility shut-offs.

And what’s sitting quietly in your closet could help change that.

When you donate to Twice Blessed Thrift Store, your gently loved items are sold to support the emergency programs of St. Anne Outreach, groceries, rent assistance, and lights staying on for local families. ❤️

We urgently need:

• Shoes, handbags, accessories
• Small home décor
• Beauty items in excellent condition
• Women’s & children’s clothing

Please Drop Off at:
📍 St. Anne Outreach (M–Th 9AM–1PM)
📍 Twice Blessed (Tu–Fri 10AM–3PM)

If you’re looking for a simple, tangible Lenten commitment — start here.

Fill a bag.
Bring it this week.
Let what you release become relief for someone else.

Let your extras do something extraordinary. 💛

Lent is not self-improvement.
It is surrender.

It is choosing to remove the things that dull your soul.
The habits that crowd your prayer.
The comforts that keep you spiritually sleepy.
The distractions that quietly pull your heart away from God.

Lent is about getting rid of what stands between you and Him.

If you are ready for a deeper Lent this year, we have beautiful resources to help you enter in intentionally:

✝ Lenten devotionals
✝ Rosaries
✝ Prayer aids & spiritual reading
✝ Sacred items to anchor your prayer space

Clear the noise.
Make space for grace.
Return to Him with your whole heart.

Visit The Grotto before and after all Masses at St Anne this weekend and begin well. ♥

✨ Holy Shroud Fragrance, Prayer You Can Carry Home

As we move towards Lent, consider bringing a drop of this sacred fragrance into your prayer corner. Let its prayerful scent draw your heart slowly into the mystery of Christ’s Passion—from the anointing of His body with nard and myrrh, to the promise of Resurrection that fills every breath of our faith. ♥
