Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. We meet on Mondays in the School Library Conference Room at 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria.  Click here for the Alcoholics Anonymous website.

Members of Saint Anne's partner with Family Promise of Bergen County to provide meals at the Walk-in Dinner program in Hackensack. Volunteers purchase, prepare, and serve a hot meal for up to 150 people. Our group participates three or four times a year. 

For further information contact Cathy and Tom Tyls at 201-796-8522.

Our pantry assists over 200 people every month with food, personal items, and household products. The pantry is open to those in need on the first and third Wednesday of the month in the lower level of the rectory. Many families in our neighborhood rely on this service, so please give generously when you can! We are extremely grateful for the donations made by parishioners, the scouts, local religious communities, Catholic Charities, and local businesses. Any donation is appreciated, and we also collect coupons (whole pages, please; do not cut). 

In order for the Food Pantry to operate efficiently, we rely also on the generous donation of time by our volunteer carriers, stackers, baggers, shoppers, and distributors. All are very welcome to come help out! 

Giving Tree

Every Christmas, over 2,000 gifts of new clothing, toys, and pet food are purchased for families and children's organizations. In addition to your gifts, help is needed each year with sorting and distributing. Do more than just wish a Merry Christmas. Help make it happen! You will be blessed!

Still true to their founding principles of charity, unity, and fraternity, the Knights offer support to members and their families. Social and intellectual fellowship is promoted among the Knights and their loved ones through educational, charitable, religious, and relief works. In addition to sponsoring activities emphasizing fraternity among our members and their families, programs are designed to support the Catholic Church, local youth, community, and national activities.

The Saint Anne Parish Nurses are caring and compassionate professionals who promote the health and well-being of our community by attending to the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of each person within the context of their beliefs and values. The goal is to promote health and wholeness and to attend to the needs of each person within the context of their beliefs and values. 

Our parish nurses volunteer their time at each Coffee Sunday (first Sunday of the month) to offer free blood pressure screenings. They are also available for home and hospital visits, upon request. 

There are also seasonal Bereavement meetings--one in the fall and one in the spring--in which those who are grieving can come and share their personal experiences, reminisce, or simply share the company of others. We pray that by the passage of time, the camaraderie of our community, and the hand of the Lord that your grief will be assuaged. 

For more information or if you would like to join us, please contact Margaret Howard at 201-924-6887.

Care and the love of knitting and crocheting have been combined in this prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort. Once our dedicated women volunteers complete their work, the shawls are blessed and shared with our brothers and sisters. We always welcome committed individuals to join us in our ministry. And gifts of yarn are always gratefully accepted! This is a ministry you can even do from home!
