Taizé, the community known for their meditative chants, will be holding its International Youth Meeting in Hong Kong from Wednesday 8^th to Sunday 12^th August. The meeting is entitled Pilgrimage of Trust and Reconciliation. 

Young people from 18-35, sometimes in groups, will descend on Hong Kong from afar. They are coming for 5 days of praying with songs, workshops and a silent retreat. Every day in the morning, there will be meetings in churches of different denominations. The midday and evening prayers will be in either the Catholic Cathedral or St John's Cathedral (Anglican).

Taizé Hong Kong is looking for families to host these young people. Each person will bring a sleeping bag and all a family needs to offer is space and breakfast every morning. A bed is welcomed but not necessary. A host family may host one person, or more. The diocese is hoping that St Anne's can host 15 people.

The Taizé Community is a world famous Christian ecumenical monastic community located in Taizé, Burgundy, France. It is composed of more than 100 brothers, Catholic and Protestant, from many countries in the world. Taizé focus in on young people, and engages them with week-long meetings of Bible study, prayers, and songs throughout the year. It is particularly popular for groups of young people to make a pilgrimage there during the summer. 

The St. Anne's Filipino Community will again host the traditional May Crowning in honor of our Blessed Virgin Mary, the High Queen of Heaven and the Queen of May. In this regard, we would like to invite all parishioners to join us in this pious activity. It will be held on May 27^th at St. Anne's Church. The assembly time is 1:30 pm and the procession will start at exactly 2:00 pm followed by recitation of the Holy Rosary, singing Marian songs, flower offering and the crowning of our Blessed Lady. We will be reciting two mysteries wherein we will be making the petitions for PEACE and UNITY for the whole world.

If there are children boys and girls who want to dress up as angels and join in this activity, please contact Lorenda Rafanan in advance so that we can provide the appropriate attire for them.

 We are in need of an Altar Server Ministry Coordinator beginning in late August 2018. The position requires only a small time commitment, but is a very important to St. Anne's.

All you need is a computer (very basic computer skills), a couple of hours a month and a desire to serve your parish. All of the work is done via email with the exception of a 1.5 hour new acolyte training session in September. 

The training session is attended by Fr. Cuff and run by experienced Acolytes with the Coordinator's assistance. 

We have a lovely group of children and adults who form this ministry, most of whom are very experienced. The Coordinator position is predominantly of an administrative nature and very easily mastered. Thank you very much for considering taking on this ministry. 

Please contact Moka Quinlan at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with any questions regarding the position.

 The Catholic Women's League is here to sell Raffle Tickets for their Annual Fundraising.

Please support them with your generosity by buying ticket or cash donation. 

Thank you.

We are RECRUITING SINGERS for Confirmation on May 12th at 10am and First Holy Communion on May 19th at 10:30am.

Let's come together to sing at these joyous occasions for the youth of our parish.
