The spiritual part is being handled by the Pastoral Team and the Parish Pastoral Council.  The social renovation is being handled by the Christian Service Committee, the Jeremiah Project Core Team, and the Bagley Housing Association.  The physical restoration is being handled by all the fund raising efforts of the parish (Ste.  Anne's Society, parish events) and by the Gabriel Richard Historical Society.

In the neighborhood, Phase 11 of house building has begun.  Eleven new homes are beginning to take shape. (Eleven were built in Phase 1.)  Also, work has started to prepare the ground for a 65 unit senior citizen complex one block from the church.  In addition, the Bagley Housing Association is helping to rehabilitate 25 older homes in the neighborhood.  Things are looking good.

We are making plans to restore the outer skin of the church, its interior lighting and a new sound system.  And we are planning on a total renovation of the parish social hall and the building of an outdoor shrine to Ste. Anne.

We are working with neighborhood groups to train our youth for work and find them good jobs.  This is done with the G.R.A.C.E. Program and Alex Montaner under the parent organization of the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation.

There has been great cooperation among many groups in the city and suburbs to bring new life to Ste. Anne's and Southwest Detroit.  My thanks go out to all who have helped us.
