Family of the Month for January 2025 Michael and Anne Downes

Michael and Anne Downes are model members of our Parish and local community. And they are always there and anxious to help our Parish Family Assistance Committee and in many other diverse areas. Using their Moving Company, Michael and Anne were very instrumental in recently helping a mother with three children. The mother, a double leg amputee, does a great job in taking care of her three children, even with her disability. This mom spends most of her time in a wheelchair. And recently, our family assistance committee found and told her family that a motorized recliner was available. Thanks to Michael and Anne, they ensured the delivery of this motorized recliner and a few days later Michael and Anne's Moving Company delivered a couch that this family desperately needed. And all this was done free of charge.

Michael and Anne are always looking for ways to contribute to the wellbeing of others. Whether it be helping our Family Assistance Committee, assisting with Sacred Heart Disaster Relief Efforts, Kitchen and Hall Clean up, Habitat for Humanity Home Building as well as a Member of that Board, and being a Substitute Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Adorer, Michael and Anne Downes are always available and eager to help in any way they can. It is evident that this husband-and-wife team are exceptional individuals and well deserving of the award of Family of the Month for January 2025.
