St. Ann’s Youth Activity Center

How a Vibrant New Space Can Bring Youth and Community Together for Worship and Play

The Youth Activity Center at St. Ann’s stands as a cornerstone for both the church community and the broader neighborhood. Designed by Parkhill, the center features a gymnasium, commercial kitchen, showers, offices, classrooms, and a central hangout space, creating a dynamic environment where youth can interact, worship, and grow. The center fulfills St. Ann’s vision of serving not only its parishioners but also the wider community, acting as a hub for community engagement and ministry outreach.
