CEMETERY COMMITTEE
St. Ann's Garden of the Unforgotten, is a non-denominational cemetery and only human remains will be interred. The Vestry of St Ann’s has complete jurisdiction over the management of the Cemetery.
Established in 1874, St. Ann’s Cemetery is the consecrated land owned by St. Ann’s Church, Sayville, and holds local prominence in the community with its natural beauty and local history. This picturesque cemetery contains the graves of many notable local people. Among those interred here are members of the Suydam, Roosevelt, Post and Smith families, including General (Baron) Philippe de Trobriand, a French aristocrat who married into the Post family and served both in the American Civil War and in the American West.
Lych Gate and 12 Stations of Cross are both are recent additions to grounds. England has long had a tradition of lytch gates which sheltered mourners from the elements while they awaited a burial. This one was designed by William Colson, a well-known local artist who is also buried in the cemetery. The Stations of the Cross are on a walkway to the right beyond the lytch gate.

CHRISTMAS TREE MINISTRY
The Annual St. Ann Church's Christmas Tree sale commences the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It is a great fundraiser for the St. Ann's and it brings repeat customers back to our beautiful church every year. As a Parishioner, it is lots of fun to volunteer and sell trees for St. Ann's and meet the community. If you would like to assist, please contact the church office.
COFFEE HOUR
The Coffee Hour is the ideal place for St. Ann's Parishioners to get to know each other better. It is run by the different Lay Ministry Groups and it meets in the Lower Parish Hall between church services every Sunday.
