St. Ann Giving Day is our day of generosity.
Outreach is how we stand in the gap.
It’s how we carry Christ’s love beyond the walls of our church—meeting people in their hunger, loneliness, and need.
When we extend the table, we bring the margins into the heart of our parish.
We’re asking 2,500 people to give $10 each to fund outreach for the year ahead—$25,000 total.

Stories of Outreach in Action

When the Happy Hour Group Tries Alpha
Longtime parishioners attended Alpha on a whim—and were so moved they invited their neighborhood Happy Hour friends to join together. The group discovered new depths in their relationships, prayed for one another, and received grace and healing. What started as a social gathering became a neighborhood Bible Study group.

Taking the Gospel to the Streets
A small team of St. Ann parishioners walked into Dallas streets and shelters to pray and offer Alpha. One woman in a wheelchair experienced prayer for her pain, saying simply, “I feel love.” Later, a young pregnant woman asked for prayer for schizophrenia. Through these encounters, God’s love was tangibly present

A Muslim Tries Alpha
Invited by a coworker, a man from a Muslim background attended Alpha to hear a Christian perspective. He appreciated the humor, discussion, and most of all the consistent message of love in Christian teaching. After Alpha, he received his first Bible and plans to read it in full.
A Word from Our Pastor, Fr. Edwin
Because of you, lives are changing.
Thank you for being part of something greater than all of us.
It only takes $10 to change lives. Together, we will feed hope, heal wounds, and bring Christ to those on the margins.
Help us reach our $25,000 goal!
