Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Anne’s Residence, located on Lake Street in San Francisco, provides life long security and care for the elderly in a home-like setting, surrounding them with thoughtful attention, spiritual support and appropriate medical care.  The Little Sisters uphold the dignity and value of each life, promote the well being of their residents, and keep vigil with them when dying.  The Little Sisters embrace poverty and depend on the generosity of others willing to share in their mission.  Invested and Auxiliary members hold three main events – a Christmas lunch, a Memorial Day picnic, and a Lourdes Reunion Day (in the fall).  Please contact Laura Hosking for additional information.
