The music ministry wishes God's blessings for you and your family in the new year! Many thanks to everyone who sang and accompanied in the choir at the Christmas masses, especially accompanists Oliver Wong and Jennie Li (keyboard) and Christina Flores (guitar), and solo vocalists Jocelyn La-ab, and Jam General.
Please join us in singing, and help us fill the church with joyful music!
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

Dear music ministry members,
The schedule and line-up for October are attached. Thanks to Jam for the music selections.
Besides singing, there are other ways to help the music ministry. We have some new choir books and we need a volunteer (volunteers) to protect them with book covers before we put them out into the cabinet.
Also, we need help in selecting the music to sing. Currently it is Jam and I who select the music. If you'd like to help do this (once every three months), please let me know. I can point you to resources to help with the selection and also provide you with samples of what we have done in past years.
Please also spread the word for friends and parishioners to join us in the music ministry. All musicians/singers and all ages, are welcome. We especially have a need for an additional keyboard player to play once in a while as a substitute.
Peace, Peggie
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.

Thank you to all our returning and new families and teachers. This weekend is the start of classes and we are very excited to be able to work with your children this year. Please take a moment to read the following important pieces of information:
1) Class lists have been posted on the classroom doors as well as in the front of the school when you enter. If you do not see your child's name or believe there has been an error please come visit us in the CCD Office in the school area. if you haven't yet given your payment, please do so as soon as you can.
2) The program calendar will be given to each of your children plus posted in front of the Parish Office and on the St. Anne's website (www.stannes.hk). Please make sure you receive a copy (extras will be in the CCD office) and mark the important dates on your personal/family's calendar.
3) I am speaking with a parent, Fiona Glynn, about holding a Saturday evening "Rugby" FHC class. Should you be interested in having your child attend this class please let us know. It is open to children with other Sunday conflicts that are born in 2010 or 2009. Please note that this class will need support from the parent that have children in it. The children are expected to attend mass after the class on Saturday evenings.
4) We are still compiling a list of substitute teachers. If you are willing to cover a class for a teacher who may be ill or traveling please reach out to the CCD and let us know.
It is a privilege for me to be able to be a part of this program and I thank you for your participation as well.
