St Anne's News

God our Father, each of us can rejoice at all that is good about ourselves. We ask that we may be people who encourage others, being ready to give praise and thanks when they are due. We ask, too, that you help each of us today to work on changing for the better just one thing that is negative in the way we live. Amen

GRANDPARENTS DAY

We are excited to announce that Grandparents Day is just around the corner, and we are planning a memorable event to celebrate the special role that Grandparents/special people play in our lives. This date will be held in Term 3 on Wednesday 26/7. The day will commence with mass at St Anne’s Church at 9:30am, concluding at around noon. 

Please add this to your calendars and be sure to invite your special person/s.

Each family will be requested to provide a plate of food, either sweet or savoury, based on a specific theme or category. This will be advised in Term 3.

We are in need of some volunteers for the week prior and on the day for help with prep, setup and pack down. 

Please contact Georgia Nery- georgia.nery@outlook.com if you are able to help with this.
