The Sister of Saint Ann – “Strong in faith, rejoicing in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, in humility of heart and persevering in prayer, the Sisters of Saint Ann as apostolic women and genuine disciples of Christ follow the Redeemer with hearts full of joy; denying themselves and always ready to undertake what is demanding, they share in the mystery of Christ and proclaim it in Gospel simplicity of life and language, that they may bring people plentiful redemption through service to the little ones and the poor.”
