Saint Anne Influence
The Sisters of Saint Anne was founded in 1850 in Quebec, Canada,with the goal of promoting the education of the rural children in the province of Canada. From 1850 to now, their influence has spread far beyond the province of Canada. Out of the many places they have served and aided, Holy Name High School and Anna Maria College have greatly affected and changed my life. I came to Holy Name in the fall of 2011 as a seventh grader and from the moment I walked through the doors, my life began to change. The people I have met, the friends I have made, and the lessons I have learned, have shaped me into the person that I am today. Because of the Sisters of Saint Anne, I am able to receive an excellent education and I’ve been given the motivation I need to apply myself in the future. The sacrifice made by Sister Marie-Anne Blondin serves as an example in my life of all the other sacrifices that have been made in my life, further motivating me to do the best I can in whatever field I choose.
