The St. Anne's Society is a fellowship and social organization for the parish women of Christ the King Church. Our mission is to provide women of the parish enriching activities throughout the year, focusing on supporting our Catholic community, strengthening our faith, and creating everlasting friendships. We model our ministry after our Patron, Saint Anne, a faithful woman who waited a long time for a child. This child was Mary, the mother of Jesus. St. Anne is the patron saint of childless people, children, homemakers, mothers and more. Learn more about our Patron here.
The Society meets during the 3rd week of each month, on a weekday morning or evening. Meetings provide an opportunity for our members to get out, connect, and enjoy a social- or community-based activity.
During the holidays, members enjoy attending the annual Holiday Party and bringing their kids to Cookies with Mrs. Claus. On the 2nd Sunday of every month Christ the King Church hosts a Donut Sunday, and St. Anne’s is delighted to host twice a year. It is a great way to come together as a community. Our Annual Spring Bake Sale is also a fun event which raises money for The Bella House. At each event, we focus on coming together for faith, friendship, and fun.
THE BELLA HOUSE • St. Anne’s Society also supports The Bella House, a faith-based residence for homeless, pregnant women. Inspired by their mission, members of St. Anne's raise money throughout the year for the women and children in need. We encourage all to learn more about the Bella House, as the organization is very dear to our members.
CHILDREN’S FAITH FORMATION • St. Anne's Society also comes together to educate our children through Vacation Bible School. Additionally, we help support the parish's Youth Faith Formation Team by serving in volunteer roles, particularly with the Pre-school and Kinder Faith Formation program which is offered during the school year during the 9:30am Mass. During this time, families can drop off their littles for some faith and fun! PKFF is available to children 3, 4, and kindergarteners of all ages to "Come to Know God" through Bible stories, crafts, and song. Please visit ctkdallas.org/youth for more information for either your child or yourself!
