The fifty sun‑printed cyanotypes embody the serenity and joy that freedom makes possible, while the collaged stripes echo our long, imperfect, and ongoing pursuit of liberty.

Freedom survives because we choose, again and again, to protect the ideals that hold it together.”

As St. Ann’s Episcopal Church and People’s ARC of Suffolk County mark one year of partnership, leaders from both organizations say the collaboration has created new opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and strengthened ties within the Sayville community. The partnership, which began last spring, brought one of People’s ARC’s community-based adult day programs to the St. Ann’s campus. Over the past year, participants have engaged with the church’s outreach ministries, gained vocational experience, and built relationships with parishioners and community members.
