The current Acolyte Coordinator will be moving in the summer, so a replacement is needed. Could you be the new Coordinator? The role involves asking the Acolytes the dates and times they are available to serve, putting those into a rota and then sharing it with the Acolytes and the Church. Due to COVID, we are also washing the used robes at a laundromat after each Mass.

The role is a very easy way to serve the St. Anne's Community. If you're interested, please email Kym Kettler at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.

The aim of the music ministry is to offer music as a form of worship and prayer for all parishioners, as well as for choir members ourselves. If you like music, you will enjoy being a member of this ministry. 

We welcome all vocalists and instrumentalists, including children and teenagers, and we especially need more keyboard and guitar accompanists. 

There are several groups/times to choose from - Saturday evening 6pm, 8:45 Sunday, and 11:15 Sunday. Or you can join us to sing at special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, St. Anne's Feast Day, or the First Holy Communion and Confirmation ceremonies. Rehearsals generally take place one hour before mass. 

If you are interested to find out more, come talk with one of the choir members after mass, or e-mail Peggie at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

The Music Ministry is sad to say goodbye to Pat Kozyra, our Saturday evening cantor.  After living in Hong Kong for 20 years, Pat and her husband, Taras, will be returning to Canada at the end of September.  Many, many thanks to Pat for offering her beautiful voice and giving many years of dedication and service to St. Anne's.  In the event that public church services are still closed in September and you do not get a chance to say goodbye to Pat in person, you can email her at This email address is being protected from spambots.

We are sad to say goodbye to Hunmin Kim, who has been our accompanist at the 11:15 AM mass for the past 10 years. Hunmin will be moving back to Korea at the end of this month. Please take the time to thank her for her musicianship and dedication over these many years. We will miss you, Hunmin!
