important please noteOn Easter Sunday, Pope Leo announced that he will be leading a prayer vigil this weekend for peace in our troubled world. The New Zealand Bishops are following the Pope's lead and are calling on all parishes to host a short, 10-minute prayer for peace after Masses this weekend.As Bishop Steve Lowe says: “While a small country like ours can feel far away from danger and safe from war, that does not permit what the Pope describes as the ‘globalisation of indifference’.“We truly believe that our prayerful participation in this universal initiative has the power to change the hearts of those most in need of hearing our pleas for peace in our world.”Read more and access the simple but prayerful resources at the link below 👇👇👇 ...

“SINGING OUR HARMONIES TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC”I don’t want this bulletin to pass by without making some comment about our St Annes Holy Week .The heading is from Pope Francis and aptly describes this week so blessed that we have experienced. Over 4,000 hosts were consumed over this time, the attendance was massive and the parking was horrific but thanks to our wardens who put up with a lot managed to do a good job. The hours of practice by the music groups certainly showed by their performances in praise of the Crucified and Risen Christ. Their participation helped so much the enhancement of the Word and Worship of the people . So thank you all.The Children and Young People certainly participated in the liturgies what with bell ringing and candles . They practised so hard and long as well. Thanks to you . We hope you enjoyed your Easter Egg. Our Altar Servers and Ministers all excelled and especially Margaret Kiely who sang the Exultet and the Saint Cecilia Choir the litany. Maybe include St Peter Chanel and Mary McKillop in the litany next time.Our thanks in such a special way to Tala and her Amazing Sacristans who worked such long hours setting all things up for any eventuality. They are and were amazing. The flowers were amazing Anna Kiely and Margaret are real artists .The Tongan men in the “ta ovalas” were very impressive carrying our three crosses to the plot in front of Russell Road, by the Flag pole . The melodious Passion song in Tongan by men and women was so powerful , and the hot cross buns afterwards organized by the Indian community were very much appreciated.Sixteen people baptized and sixteen received into full communion after many months of preparation by Langi and the O.C.I.A team added so much to the Easter ceremony .Apologies for having forgotten some details . But the power of the people was certainly demonstrated fully this week. P.S. Thanks to our office staff as well. Happy Easter All ... See MoreSee Less
