Dear Parishioners of the Church of Saint Ann,
Greetings of Peace!
As public celebration of Mass and the sacraments resumed, the Finance Council and I wish to share with you that during the closure of our church, it was necessary to contract for major work on our HVAC system in the Church.
On February 24, 2020 the original HVAC unit installed at the time of the FDC construction broke down beyond repair. The old unit lasted 16 years and more than exceeded its working life. With summer time approaching and a lead time to contend with, we ordered a new high efficiency HVAC unit which was installed on June 25, 2020. The cost of replacement was nearly $150,000.
Our HVAC has continually caused us significant annual repairs. This new unit will continue to offer a comfortable place of worship and prayer throughout the year. While no official capital campaign is presently planned, I am most grateful to anyone able to help in defraying these unexpected expenses.
I acknowledge your generosity during this most difficult time, but if possible asking those you can to consider making a one-time donation to offset this unforeseen replacement cost. To donate, please copy and paste the link:

Thank you and God bless.
Sincerely,
Fr. Dela Cruz & the Finance Council
