Part of Something Greater: Little Hearts, Big Impact

When five-year-old Anna saw Holy Spirit collecting for the Poor, she wanted to help too. With her brothers Thomas, Hamilton, Brooks, and baby sister Madeleine, she held a lemonade stand at Chastain Park and raised $187. Along the way, they met parishioners and a family supported by St. Vincent de Paul. Anna hopes to inspire other kids to give in their own special way. Join Anna and her family in making a difference — every little bit helps our parish live out its mission.

Real Help. Right Here. Join Us.
