The St. Anne’s Shrine Preservation Society is an all-volunteer board of directors who came together in the spirit of cooperation to focus on preserving, restoring, and managing St. Anne’s Shrine. The members all contribute different talents, insights, and abilities, but the goal is to return St. Anne’s to its rightful place as a destination for prayer, healing, and an increase of faith in the Diocese of Fall River.
