Saint Ann Alumni Association

The Saint Ann Alumni community has taken great steps forward in the past years. We have celebrated our 2nd annual alumni reunion and award ceremony, reconnected with over 150 past Crusaders, and laid the foundation for future events and growth. We need your help and leadership to form an official Alumni Association.

Please call the school or email SaintAnnAlumni@gmail.com if you are interested.

Reunion

The past two years, over 100 alumni have come together to share memories, photos, and stories and to honor the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Nazareth Award. The evening consists of an awards presentation, school tours, a photo slideshow, and dinner. It has been an incredible celebration of Saint Ann history and we hope to have even more alumni present in coming years.

The Nazareth Award

“Given annually to a Saint Ann School graduate who has displayed exceptional service to Church and community, as exemplified by the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth during their more than 100 years of service to the Saint Ann community.”

The inaugural Nazareth award was accepted by Sr. Michael Franzak, former principal of Saint Ann, on behalf of the entire SHFN community on May 9, 2008. This year’s Nazareth Award recipient is well known around Saint Ann School, the parish, and the neighborhood. Cindy, a 1981 graduate of the school, was one of ten Acevedo children to graduate from Saint Ann. Cindy’s commitment to the Saint Ann community did not end when she graduated, however. All four of her children attend/attended school here and she spent more than 20 years teaching CCD for the church. Cindy continues to help lead the Parents Who Care group and according to her classmates, “has worked countless hours for the school and been a big inspiration to everyone.” Cindy continues to lead by example, working for the Archdiocese Office for Catechesis and Youth Ministry.You can help select this year’s recipient by filling out a nomination form below!
