June Music Line-up for St. Anne's Choirs

Dear Music Ministry members,

The line-up and schedule for June are as follows:

June Music Line-up
June Schedule

The May 31st 8:45 mass was broadcast on RTHK Radio 4.  Thanks to the Filipino Choir and to some of the members of the 8:45 choir for singing, especially to Lea for the responsorial psalm and to Amar for the trumpet accompaniment.  It was a great ensemble, and the broadcast came out very well.  If you’d like to listen to the archive, click here.  

As this is almost the end of the school year, I'd like to take this chance to thank all of the people who volunteered their service and talents in the music ministry this year. In particular, thanks to the following musicians:

  • Stella Woo for helping choose the music line-ups.
  • Hunmin Kim, Agnes Lee, Hubie Lem and Jennie Li for their keyboard accompaniment.
  • Cantors/Soloists Lea Faigmani, Jam Melendez-General, Pat Kozyra, Jocelyn La-ab, Oliver Wong and Stella Woo.
  • Paul de Guzman, May Clarito and Fernanda da Rosa for guitar accompaniment.
  • Amar Bhardwaj (trumpet) and Mary Byrne (violin) for their instrumental accompaniment.
  • Hubie Lem for starting a men's Gregorian chant group.
  • Thanks to all the friends of the music ministry who help out on special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, and the May ceremonies, especially David & Matt Helfer and Hannah Kraebel.
  • And, last but not least, to all the regular members of the music ministry, especially the Legion of Mary and the Filipino choirs, who come to sing every week.

Thank you all so much!

Peace,

Peggie

Little Sisters of the Poor

The Little Sisters of the Poor will be at all masses this weekend seeking support for the work that only they do exclusively, whether in Hong Kong or around the world: the care of elderly persons who cannot afford medical attention and have no meaningful support structures in their lives; among them, religious Sisters, Brothers and Priests from small communities. 

Please be as generous in the second collection as possible, or give you gift directly to the Sisters at the back of the church.  

Learn more about the activities of the Little Sisters at www.littlesistersofthepoor.org.hk

I'd like to thank everyone who is singing for the Confirmation ceremony this Saturday, May 16th. 

We still need more singers for the First Holy Communion ceremony on May 23rd.  Most of our regular music ministry members are not free to come on Saturdays, so we need singers from the parish community. 

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