St.
Anna's Youth Initiative: This experimental program
is an undertaking funded largely by the Diocese of Louisiana
as well as other sources. In order to make the public
schools a place of success instead of failure, St. Anna's has,
with the cooperation and financial participation of Sylvan Learning
Centers, arranged to have these children tutored in an accelerated
program that will, educationally, bring them from where they
were to where they need to be academically.
Anna's
Chefs: This group is a cooking group that provides
food for various church functions. In addition, we offer
a brunch on the last Sunday of each month as a way for the community
to share and grow in the knowledge and love of one another.
Anna's
Acolyte Program: We take our worship seriously and
practice our worship with regularity. This program is
more than acolytes and crucifers though - it builds self esteem
and a sense of service for our youth and adults. It is
a way to feel worthy before the lamb of God.
St.
Anna's Bible Study: This series is generally topical
and limited in scope. As an example, in May and June,
2005, a group is meeting to study the Book of Revelations based
on the curriculum and writings of Dr. Bruce Metzger. This
group will meet on Monday nights for about two hours for seven
sessions.
Young
Adult/Youth Bible Study and Life Skills classes: In
the summer of 2005, St. Anna's embarks on a meeting each Wednesday
night that will include guest speakers, bible study, and mentoring
in how to deal with every day life in our diverse neighborhood.
These meetings will last about one to two hours.
St.
Anna's Youth Basketball: This program is free form.
We have built a basketball court as none is available to the
neighborhood. Kids from all around play basketball here.
We need mentors and volunteers to monitor this activity in order
to provide a safe place for kids to meet and play. Help
us out if you can.
Community
Programs that St. Anna's Supports:
Esplanade Ridge Tenant and Homeowners Association:
A local association concerned with policing, blighted properties,
preservation, and domestic safety issues. Meets at St.
Anna's monthly.
12
Step S.A. Group: Meets twice weekly at noon on Fridays
and 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. This group seeks the hope offered
by the traditional twelve steps with sexual addictions.
Closed meetings. Holistic
Health: A publicly funded organization that provides
mentoring and life skill training for schizophrenics and other
mentally impaired persons that have been treated. This
vital program helps clients to achieve a degree of independence.
