Benigna is the daughter of 10AM parishioners Kristen & Roger Polanco and granddaughter to Anne and Clinton Graybeal. She is a lifelong parishioner, confirmed in 2019, and an Altar Guild member. She will graduate this month from Kennard Dale High School and plans to begin her undergraduate studies at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA as a History major.

Did you know…
St Mary Anne’s Dream Big Scholarship was established in 2017 with a generous $25,000 memorial donation given by the children of Elizabeth and Harold Flood. The fund continues to grow with additional donations from generous parishioners, like you!
Now, five of our high school graduates have received a scholarship to assist them with their education beyond high school. The recipients are Ethan Kyger, Hannah Sadler, Caroline Dorsett, Kayla Lanouette, and now, Benigna.
Contributions to the Dream Big Scholarship are always welcome and can be sent to St. Mary Anne’s Treasurer or donated online at our website.

Updated Mask Policy

June 5, 2021 by St Mary Anne Admin

Masks are now optional for those who are fully vaccinated. We are following our Cecil County and Maryland COVID guidelines, along with the CDC.

Please be aware that a large percentage of our congregation is vaccinated so many chose not to wear a mask during services.

We continue to remain cautious and require all those without vaccinations to wear a mask at our services and activities. Mask wearing is also suggested for the immunocompromised, but that remains a personal decision.

We also remind parishioners that we have hand sanitizers in visible locations, a HVAC air purification system in place, and do not share the chalice during the Eucharist. These strategies gave our parish a safe worship experience this past year.

String Studio Performance!

April 27, 2021 by St Mary Anne Admin

Last Sunday, a quartet of St. Mary Anne’s String Studio students played “Alleluia, Give Thanks” as the closing hymn of our worship services. Three of the four students were on violin and one student played the guitar. Three students are 8:00AM parishioners: Kaelyn, Clark and Claire Kondracki!
Joel Alarcon, our Director of Music, is their music instructor. He is committed to help the students grow their music abilities and develop a comfort with worship performance. We look forward to seeing their progress at future worship services!
Please encourage your children and grandchildren to join in! Scholarships are available! To learn more about our String Studio, please click here.
Help us get the word out about our new ministry to bring music instruction to local school children!
