Newsletter 2025


Friends of Saint Ann’s Kingston, New York

                  


Dear Friends,
 

We extend our warmest greetings to everyone who has come to St. Ann’s Church to join together in worship as well as to all of you inside and outside the Town of Kingston who have supported our efforts to preserve the legacy of St. Ann’s Church and Cemetery.


             


We would like to share a few of our accomplishments during 2025:
  1. Repaired two broken windows
  2. Filled, leveled and added grass seed to two new graves 
  3. Cemetery graves raked, filled, gravestones cleaned and bushes trimmed by Boy Scouts
  4. Removed moss on church roof
  5. New drapes, rugs and altar cloths were added
  6. A beautiful white oak hymnal board was handcrafted and donated by John Paul Sliva
  7. Sold 3 cemetery plots

We thank all of the volunteers and donors who generously gave their support in 2025.                  


Our goals for 2026 are as follows:
  1. Paint the outside of the church
  2. Continue to clean and restore old gravestones
  3. The Boy Scouts will hold a non-denominational service at St. Ann's in February.  Date and time to be announced.


Our final mass for 2025 will be our Holiday Mass on Saturday, December 27th at 12:00 noon - a good way to start the New Year!
