Nearly everyone agrees that meditation is beneficial. Meditation helps us focus and cultivates inner calm. It is just a matter of making time and having the discipline to do it. It is easier to do it with others than by yourself. The St Anne's Meditation Group meets every Tuesday at 7pm (come at least 15 minutes earlier to settle down) in the sanctuary to practice stillness and silence. We finish before 7:45 and you will feel more rested than when you came. Come and find out.

Dear Lectors,

Please find enclosed the first schedule of the New Year. The lector assignments for the Mass on January 1st, Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, have been included in the December schedule.

It's been a while since we had lector training. To keep the reading at St Anne's at a high standard, Maria Lee and I are planning a session in January, and another session in February. We plan to invite some people who read well to demonstrate and you will hear feedback on your reading. We hope you can come to one that suits your schedule. It will most likely be on a Sunday afternoon as that is the day off for our Filipina sisters. Details to follow! 

It has been encouraging to see reliable young people participate in this ministry. We have Leah Gillette, Aidan Jackson, Jamie McGraw, Hannah Tan - reliably preparing and reading for the people of St Anne's. Bravo!

In closing, I thank you one and all for your service throughout 2018. May you enjoy the peace and joy of Christmas united with your family and spending time with friends.

With gratitude,Vivian

We are about to start a new course – Catholicism 201 – that covers the Catholic Church, the Seven Sacraments, Mary and the Saints, and Catholic Moral and Social Teaching. It is based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a personal copy of which is required for the course.

While we consider New Year's resolutions, please prayerfully consider if one you could make would be to deepen and strengthen your faith and that of others who are new to the faith by joining us for this course.
