The St. Ann's Society was founded in 1881 by Anna Wick as the St. Ann's Mother's Society. St. Ann was the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus according to apocryphal Christian tradition. Today she is considered the patroness of mothers, nascent women, widows, sailors, poor schools, and Christians.

The purpose of St. Ann’s Society is to provide women an opportunity to assist parish programs, to be involved in spiritual and educational efforts, and to fulfill their vocations with the humility, dignity and love of St. Ann.
