The current Vicar is the Rev. Maria Isabel Santiviago.

St. Ann's Practices Radical Hospitality!

The St. Ann's congregation is diverse in every way. All are welcome as they come together as one from around the city and the state to praise God. Members come from all racial and ethnic backgrounds and are of all ages. They include the deaf, hearing and hard of hearing and fluent signers, so-so signers and non-signers. Families consist of deaf children with hearing parents, hearing children with deaf parents and every other possible combination.
