On behalf of the parish family
I would like to share the Peace and Joy of Jesus be with you all.

St Anne’s is in the threshold of celebrating the platinum jubilee with the theme from Psalm 78.6 “Tell the next generation”. We have already begun number of events to help us both spiritually and socially to renew, rejoice and regenerate. Our parish was established in 1948 under the patronage of St Anne. We have 2 ½ ton marble statue of St Anne in the tower of the Church and another unique stature made by Timothy Schmalz a celebrated sculptor called Generation specially made for our Parish. It has 5 figurines resembling three generation consisting of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Joachim and Anne.
 
From being one of the largest parish in the diocese with 1,175 families in 1962, the faith of the congregation has grown stronger and matured. St Anne’s Parish stands distinct because of the very name ‘Family’ that is added to the name of the parish by my predecessor Fr Peter Mayer. For him a parish is family of families who celebrate Eucharist and worship life. Our parish continues to stays vibrant and active with number of faith formation programmes and social actives that keeps the parish alive. We have about 100 volunteers working around the clock for the welfare of the parish and people in our neighbourhood. Our seasoned choir is a great attraction and enhances the Eucharistic celebration.
 
I take this opportunity to welcome everyone to St Anne’s. You can be sure, for we are a welcoming community. There will be a space for you in our pew and in our parish family. I can guarantee that you will return home with full of Grace and Joy.
  
In Jesus Joy Incarnate
