Dear Parents of First Holy Communion Students:

We are excited to have your child enrolled in the First Holy Communion (FHC) class. It will be a year of great growth in your child’s faith and yours as well. Your child will be receiving two Sacraments this year: Reconciliation and Holy Communion. Your participation in your child’s journey is essential and strongly encouraged. Your children meet with the teacher once a week, but they are with you daily; you are their primary role models and teachers. This is a partnership and we need to work together!

There are four FHC classes this year, one on Saturday at 5 pm (Rugby class), and two on Sunday at 10am (FHC A and FHC B). There is also a class of older students (FHC older) that will be pulled out of their regular CCD classes for FHC instruction several times during the school year.

The attached document highlights the important dates and other information relevant to your child’s participation in FHC this year. Please download and save this letter for your reference.

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, #63 and #64 in the series, will be held on October 9-12 (Men) and October 16-19 (Women).  Additional information can be found on the WTE website at www.hkwalktoemmaus.org
