We would like to invite all Parishioners of St. Anne's to join the many before who have participated in the Walk to Emmaus in Hong Kong.
Like its predecessor, Cursillo de Christiandad ("short course in Christianity"), the Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience, which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. It is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people, and through them: their families, congregations, and the world in which they live. Emmaus is a combined effort of laity and clergy towards the renewal of the Church.
The next Walks will take place at the Tao Fong Shan Christian Center in Shatin.
The Men's Walk #73 will take place from Thursday evening, October 26 to Sunday afternoon, October 29
The Women's Walk #74 will take place from Thursday evening, November 2 to Sunday afternoon, November 5

St. Anne's has formed a sanctuary renovations committee to work with architects and the English- and Chinese-speaking Parish Councils to develop plans for the renovation of the sanctuary of the church, which is now in some disrepair.
As part of this process, the committee will from time to time post updates and share the results of these planning efforts for the purpose of soliciting comments and suggestions from parishioners of St. Anne's.
Following are drawings that have been prepared by the architectural firm of Oval Partnership that describe a proposed renovation.
Please share your comments and suggestions with us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The following remarks were prepared by David Lamb, Chairman of the English Speaking Parish Council of St. Anne's on the occasion of the departure of our Pastor, Fr. John McAuley, M.M.
Fr John arrived at St Anne's a little more than four years ago. His first weekend, or perhaps day, at St Anne's was on Service Sunday, when without much warning he was quickly thrust into the Parish ministries and operations. He handled that cooly with his able manner with which we have now become accustomed. Since then, it is safe to say that Fr John has been involved in every aspect of our Parish. He has shown himself to be truly a "hands-on" individual who gets things done!
Fr John arrived here amidst change. Fr Ed served as our Pastor for a short time after the long tenure of Fr Wurth. At the time, the Parish was looking for a bit of stablity and Fr John stepped up to that role and became the steady and trusted pair of hands that guided the tilller of our Parish. Fr John's calm, capable and confident demeanour was just what the Parish needed. Fr John has clearly been the glue or bond that has held St Anne's together.
In summary, Fr. John has been an inspirational Pastor whose diligence, spirituality and leadership have greatly benefited the St. Anne's community. He has been instrumental in ensuring that the Parish receives maintenance and care both spiritually and tangibly!
We will miss Fr. John but we will keep him in our hearts and prayers and know he will do the same for St. Anne's.
The days are quickly passing and before long Fr. John will be saying so long to St. Anne's and moving on to other spiritual missions.Before he goes, we want to join together as a Parish community and wish him so long, good luck, and Godspeed.
The Parish is planning a send-off celebration on Sunday, Aug 27th at 12:15 pm in the St. Anne's courtyard and hope all can participate. The celebration is planned as a potluck, so please spread the word and bring a dish for all to enjoy.
