A Boy Scout with BSA Hong Kong Troop 1 and a parishioner here at St. Anne's is currently working on a service project to attain his Eagle Scout rank.

He has chosen St. Anne's to be the beneficiary of the project, which will consist of upgrading our courtyard. With the help of other Boy Scouts, his confirmation classmates, family, friends and other parishioners, he will be cleaning up and painting the courtyard. As the project needs to be self-funded, he needs to raise funds for supplies.

On November 23rd, we will be conducting a bake sale after Mass. Your help will be very much appreciated. You can help by baking goods so we can sell them. All monies will go towards the purchase of paint and supplies for the project.

Of course, you can also help by buying some baked goods or making donations. Thank you in advance.

During the month of November, the Church remembers in thought and prayer all who have gone before us in life and in faith.  There is a lavender box in the rear of the Church in which to deposit names of those deceased you wish to be prayed for.  Names only, please.  We request that you do not place any monetary offerings in the box.

“I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you and the faithful of St. Anne’s Church for the generosity of heart and commitment to support our little deaf brothers and sisters in Christ, to let them continue to receive Catholic Education in a sign bilingual and co-enrolment model which we believe, based on research, will benefit them most.  On 11 & 12 October 2014, we gathered $18,116 worth of donation from the compassionate faithful of St. Anne’s Church through Second Collections.”  -- Gladys Tang , Director of Centre for Sign Linguistics and Deaf Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
