Order of St. Anne (Anglican)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Order of St. Anne (OSA) is an Anglican religious order of nuns founded in 1910[1] by the Rev. Frederick Cecil Powell, a member of the Society of St. John the Evangelist, at Arlington Heights, Massachusetts. The Convent of St. Anne in Chicago was established at the Anglo-Catholic Church of the Ascension in 1921 in response to a call from the rector and vestry for sisters to do missionary work in the parish.[2] Today Sister Mary Margaret is the Reverend Mother.[3] The nuns work in the Church of the Ascension as teachers and counselors.
