We would like to invite the Women of St. Anne's to join the many before who have participated in the Walk to Emmaus spiritual retreats 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 Women's Walk #85 will take place from Thursday evening, October 16 to Sunday afternoon, October 19 at the Tao Fong Shan Christian Center in Shatin.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER EMMAUS?
Your Walk lasts only 72 hours, but you are invited to build on it for the rest of your life. Those who attend a Walk to Emmaus are encouraged to do two things following their Walk:
1. Expand their own spiritual lives through study and congregational participation.
2. Become more active disciples of Christ in the world through their churches.
The focus of Emmaus is God as known in Jesus Christ, and how a relationship with Him finds expression in the local church. The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, and places of work.

AN ECUMENICAL EXPERIENCE

Founded in 1996, the Hong Kong the Walk to Emmaus community includes people from more than 160 Christian churches, of many different denominations, who come together in fellowship to deepen their relationship with Christ and with each other. 

Catechism classes (in English) start on Sep 25^th. Enrollment for Catechism is still open for all those born between 2009 to 2015. 

Kindly enroll on our St Anne's CCD online platform (www.stannes.hk/ccd/student-registration) with the necessary documentation required. 

We look forward to welcoming our current as well as new students to the program.

The mother church reminds us that, as members, we need to walk together and journey together.  Walking together means deepening our faith and knowledge together. For this reason, St. Anne's Church will start regular Bible Study, and we are seeking more people to be team members. 

If you are interested, please contact Margie at +852 68011288 or the Church WhatsApp on +852 55890100.

Religious education classes will start on 03 Oct 2021. The classes will be from 10:00-11:00 AM at the Parish Hall.

This year, we plan to offer a limited number of Sacramental Classes for students preparing for First Holy Communion, Pre-Confirmation, and Confirmation.

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.

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.

A huge thank you to each and everyone of these individuals.Your contribution was greatly appreciated.

Perhaps the most critical ministry in which the Church engages is passing the faith on to those we most treasure, our children. Teaching the faith was the role first given to the Apostles after Jesus' resurrection, and it remains the primary ministry of Bishops today. Teaching our own children in structured ways such as CCD is a concrete and vital actualization of that sacred ministry.

We are making a special appeal for women and men, both mature and in their teen years, to step forward before the Summer break to commit to leading a class in our CCD program starting in September. In the nine months between mid September to the 3rd week of May, there are approximately 25 scheduled class sessions and almost 10 weeks of recesses during school holidays. Please be generous to God's mission among us for our children through this vital ministry. 

We are looking for teachers, administration staff, and a possible new leader of the program for the next generation of CCD.You can contact me, Paul Munder, Sandra Gallaudet, or Amy Turner in the next 3 weeks to convey your willingness.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration. Fr. John
