Students from our CCD program's Pre-Confirmation class sponsored our 11:15 Mass last Sunday.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers of our young people in religious education and faith formation. 

CCD families please note the following important upcoming dates:

October 25^th, 10:30 am, Parish Hall - Pre-Confirmation Parents meeting

November 1^st, 10:00 am, Parish Hall - FHC meeting #1

November 8^th, 10:00 am, Parish Hall -  FHC meeting #2 (for those who could not attend meeting 1)

November 15^th, 10:00 am, Parish Hall - Confirmation Parents meeting

A friendly reminder for all CCD families who have yet to submit payment, to please do so no later than October 18^th.

All FHC families are reminded to submit two passport size photographs of the students, indicating name and DOB on the back of the photograph, by the end of this week please.

All Confirmation students need to submit one passport size photograph by the end of this week as well.

Attention CCD 2014-2015 First Holy Communion and Confirmation families:  Students who received the sacrament of First Holy Communion or Confirmation this past May, and who did not pick up their doves or banners, may still do so until the end of October. These are available in the CCD office on Sundays until the end of the month, after which time they will be discarded.

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!

We welcome back all CCD students to St. Anne's for another great year of Religious Education. We also welcome all new families who have registered their children, and we look forward to continuing their faith formation in our parish.

A reminder that all new registrations are now closed. Registered families may still update their records and upload required documents, but any new registrations must be pre-approved by the program's director, Paul Munder, who may be contacted at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We still need some teachers and encourage parents to participate by assisting with any special events the classes may be having. Please note that the latest CCD calendar is also on the website.

Thank you all who have completed the registration for CCD. 

The cut-off date for any new registrations is this Sunday, September 6.

Classes begin Sunday, September 13 at 10:00am. We are happy to announce that due to the parent volunteers of a few students, we are able to offer a special class on Saturday evenings at 5 pm only for students preparing for First Holy Communion who play rugby on Sundays. This class will begin on Saturday evening, September 12 at 5:00 pm, to enable students and their families to attend the 6:00 pm Mass.

We are still in need of a few teachers and teacher assistant volunteers. Please prayerfully consider participating in this important ministry.

Thank you

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
