Gift Bags for the Poor with Sunshine Action

Gift Bags for the Poor with Sunshine Action
Some of St. Anne's Confirmation and Pre-Confirmation students and parents volunteered at Sunshine Action on Saturday, September 5th :

They worked all morning to sort, pack, tie and carry 400 bags containing canned food, rice and noodles.  The large room was packed with about 100 volunteers who altogether packed 4000 bags . It was exhausting work for sure! The reward was knowing that the food bags would be delivered to needy families this weekend. A great service experience for our kids who managed the factory lines well with minimal rest!

Walk To Emmaus #67 and #68, October 2015

b2ap3_thumbnail_emmaus.gif

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.  A great many St. Anne's parishioners have taken part in a Walk to Emmaus retreat over the years and have found it to be a life-changing experience.

The upcoming walks, #67 and #68 in the series, will be held on 1-4 October 2015 (Men) and 8-11 October (Women).  Additional information can be found on the WTE website at www.hkwalktoemmaus.org
