Dear music ministry members,

The line-up and schedule for April are attached.  Thanks to Stella Woo for the music selections.  Accompanists and cantors – please let me know if the schedule is ok with you.

I'd like to thank our choir members who joined in singing at last night's Holy Thursday service.  Thanks also to the Chinese Choir for singing with us, especially Miranda Kwan the Chinese Choir director and Ingrid Tsui the accompanist.

Also thanks (in advance) for everyone who will be singing at the Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday services this weekend.    I wish you all a happy and blessed Easter!

Peace,

Peggie

Music Line-Up for April

Choir Schedule for April

Serving the church is serving God.  It is not yet Service Sunday, but, like the other ministries, the Usher Ministry is also in need of more volunteers-- not only on Sunday but also for the Saturday 6:00PM Mass.  At that Mass, we are in need of a person who will organize parishioners to participate in the offering and the collection.

We ask those who attend Mass regularly on Saturday evening to please consider helping in this ministry.  

Please contact Lorenda Rafanan, Ushers Coordinator, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 9107-9805.

All newly trained Eucharistic Ministers and all who have not been formally installed by Father Ed are asked to join Fr. Ed on the altar when called during all Masses this weekend, March 2-3. 

After being installed, all Eucharistic Ministers are asked to participate in distributing Holy Communion in both forms to St. Anne's Parishioners. 

Until the new schedule is published, please participate by selecting a stole upon entering church and serving.

During the period of Lent, we use mainly leaves with a little bit of purple statice. 

We withhold the delight expressed by colourful flowers until Easter comes, except for the 4th Sunday of Lent, when the Gospel is about having joy for the returned son.

Dear Music Ministry Members,

The line-up and schedule for March are attached.

Accompanists and cantors, can you let me know when you are available in March, so that we can refine the schedule?  Also, can all members let me know their availability during Holy Week, March 28-31?  The music for Holy Thursday, is yet to be confirmed with the Chinese choir.  Also, the readings and psalms for the Easter Vigil have yet to be confirmed.  I will let you know if there are changes.

Peace,
Peggie

Many thanks to the Church Beautification Ministry

and our team of young volunteers, who assisted with the decoration of St. Anne's for the holidays!

On Sunday, Feb 19, was the continuation of the lector training sessions we provided from last Fall. So far there have been 6 sessions, and 39 lectors of the 55 on the roster have attended. Some lectors have come twice as they have found the training very useful. Two new readers joined us. Lectors are given an overview of the Mass, and the important role the Liturgy of the Word is explained. Lectors are asked to reflect on their roles as the "mouthpiece" of the Word.  Markus takes them through the mechanics of good public speaking, and participants practice reading the same passage and are given feedback on their individual readings.

We will continue to provide lector training as some lectors have not attended. The aim of the training is to produce good reading and ultimately raise the quality of the Spoken Word at St. Anne's.
