Do you wish you could spend three days off to rediscover your faith and the life-enhancing power of the Holy Spirit? If the answer is "YES" (or even "maybe"), then the Walk to Emmaus retreat is for you.

The Walk to Emmaus is a 3½ day residential weekend retreat held at Maryknoll House (in Stanley). It is an ecumenical retreat linking Christians from many churches in Hong Kong. You will spend three busy, but very enjoyable days in study, prayer, worship and discussion, centering around 15 talks given by both laity and clergy. Many St. Anne's parishioners have taken part in a Walk to Emmaus retreat and have found it to be a life-changing experience.

The upcoming Spring walks will be held on Mar 27-30 (Women) and Apr 3-6 (Men). Pascale Schrader from St. Anne’s Church is the Lay Director for the Women's Walk and Dale Weathington from Union Church is the Lay Director for the Men's Walk.

A First Communion banner is a special family project in which the children of the First Communion Classes have the opportunity to work with their parents to create a visual sign of what First Communion means to them as well as the ways in which they experience God’s love.  These banners will be displayed in the church on the day of the First Communion Masses and will remain in the Church for one week thereafter.  

Each child is required to have a banner with his or her first and last name displayed on it, along with any of the many symbols of the Eucharist or God’s love for us.  Banners must be completed and brought to class on or before Sunday April 13th, 2014.

Instructions and banner kits will be available for purchase from the CCD office during CCD classes for a fee of HKD 80 from February 23 through March 23.  Exact change would be much appreciated!  Once again, thank you for your cooperation.
