About the Center

Marie Anne Center, a ministry of the Sisters of Saint Anne, is located in the lower level of St. Bernard Church on Lincoln Street in Worcester, MA.
The Center addresses educational and spiritual needs of families and provides basic education and living skills for people who would otherwise not have access to them. Special attention is given to families living within its mult-ethnic neighborhood. Opening its doors in April 2001, activities have included after-school tutoring, available computer lab with Internet access, English as a Second Language classes, sewing, yoga, art and music, Teen Talk, and a Police/Clergy Mentoring program.
The work of the Center is carried out primarily by the Sisters of St. Anne and Associates, as well as others from the region under the direction of Sister Michele Jacques, a Sister of Saint Anne.
