A Message From Fr. Edwin

Servant Leaders,

I am looking forward to welcoming you to the 2025 St. Ann Leadership Summit this August! This Summit is a special time set apart for renewal in the mission the Lord has entrusted to us here at St. Ann. This year, we have the unique opportunity to pour into the hearts of our key Servant Leaders—those who faithfully lead and sustain the life of our many ministries at St Ann.

Our theme this year, Elevate, is inspired by James 4:10: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” As we gather in a spirit of grace-filled humility, we believe God will elevate our service, our culture, and our worship—not for our own glory, but for His.

Thank you for saying "yes" to this mission. We can't wait to see what The Lord has in store!

He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!
He will lift you up!

Who Is This For?

The St. Ann Leadership Summit is a dedicated time to celebrate, equip, and inspire our Ministry Leaders. This annual gathering offers space to honor the work being done across our ministries, share important updates, and cast vision for the season ahead!

This year, the Leadership Summit is a special gathering intended for our Ministry Leads. Unlike last year’s event, it will not be open to the broader parish community. This year, we are focusing on intentionally pouring into those who carry the responsibility of leading ministries at St. Ann.
