July Schedule
After a busy year, we will be a bit less hectic in July, with a chance for our members to take a rest or go on holiday. We will have ‘quiet mass’ on Saturday evenings, no music; so we just need to plan for Sunday’s 8:45 and 11:15 masses.
This year, there is no bi-lingual mass for St. Anne’s Feast. The masses for that weekend of July 25th and 26th will be as normal – Saturday 6pm, Sunday 8:45am (English), 10am (Chinese), and 11:15 (English). We will still be using the readings and the music for St. Anne’s Feast.
Safe travels to all who will be away, and thanks to all who will be staying and making music.
Happy summer to all!
Peggie
Congratulations to the 13 couples who participated in last Sunday’s “Marriage Celebration Mass" and to the many friends and family who came to witness and give blessing to the couples in their Renewal of Vows and Candle Lighting Ceremony. It was a very memorable evening thanks to our pastor Fr. John who led the couples in a prayerful renewal of love and promise.
The joyful atmosphere of the Mass overflowed into the parish hall as everyone gathered for a delicious potluck dinner. Blessings continued as we listened to The Covenant Hymn sung by Pat and David, Gregorian Chant by the men’s group and lots of laughter sharing wedding memories from Gigi.
Thank you to Hubie for his piano accompaniment. . . Ying Ying for the wonderful display of old photos . . . Angel for the incredible flowers . . . Markus for capturing the memories in photo . . . Christine, Mae and Estela, who helped with set up and food . . . and to all those behind the scenes who organized and prepared for this special event. It would be a blessing to celebrate with more couples in the future!

The May 31st 8:45 mass was broadcast on RTHK Radio 4. Thanks to the Filipino Choir and to some of the members of the 8:45 choir for singing, especially to Lea for the responsorial psalm and to Amar for the trumpet accompaniment. It was a great ensemble, and the broadcast came out very well. If you’d like to listen to the archive, click here.
As this is almost the end of the school year, I'd like to take this chance to thank all of the people who volunteered their service and talents in the music ministry this year. In particular, thanks to the following musicians:
Thank you all so much!
Peace,
Peggie
The Little Sisters of the Poor will be at all masses this weekend seeking support for the work that only they do exclusively, whether in Hong Kong or around the world: the care of elderly persons who cannot afford medical attention and have no meaningful support structures in their lives; among them, religious Sisters, Brothers and Priests from small communities.
Please be as generous in the second collection as possible, or give you gift directly to the Sisters at the back of the church.
