Preserving A Legacy

The 2024 storm season was devastating for St. Ann’s. We need your help to repair our historic buildings, protect against future weather events, and preserve a legacy for future generations.

St. Ann's Has Served Our Community for Over 130 Years.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PRESERVE OUR LEGACY

The powerful storms of January 13 and 15, 2024 devastated the historic grounds and buildings at St. Ann’s, and destroyed the sea wall, opening us up to even greater threats. Regrettably, we believe these storms represent the new normal.

To address this challenge, St. Ann’s is undertaking a multi-year, multi-million-dollar project to put in place a reinforced, concrete wall system, three feet higher than the previous masonry wall. But we need your help to preserve our legacy!

Where We Are
  • St. Ann’s is undertaking a multi-year, multi-million-dollar project to put in place a reinforced, concrete wall system to protect the Stone Chapel, Columbarium and Rectory.
  • The initial phase of the new wall (Phase 1) has been completed at a cost of one million dollars.
Phase 1: New seawall section completed

BUT LONGER-TERM EFFORTS ARE NEEDED TO INCREASE ST. ANN'S RESILIENCE . . .

Phase 2: Funds needed to raise the seawall protecting the Rectory.

Help us protect our legacy for another 130 years.

"Preserving A Legacy Capital Campaign"

To provide the resources necessary to protect over time, St. Ann’s has established the “Preserving a Legacy Capital Campaign” with a goal of raising $5 million over three years.

Phase 2 focuses on raising the seawall to protect the Rectory along the section outlined in yellow. This is an urgent, vital need that will be given top priority.

Phases 3 and 4 are under consideration to provide additional protection to other vital parts of our grounds and increase storm resilience. Phase 3 focuses on protecting the Seaside Chapel and the grounds surrounding it. Phase 4 would extend this protection to the parking area and other seaward-facing parts of the grounds.

Phase 2: Funds needed to raise the seawall protecting the Rectory.
