Mask up and ‘Fess up!
Come and experience a celebration of the Third Rite of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Sunday at 3pm at St Anne’s. Our confession will be general (that is, we do not need to say anything individually to a priest) and our absolution will be general (that is, Fr Doug will pray the beautiful Prayer of Absolution over all of us at the same time).
Let’s all make an effort for Advent!

As it is likely that we will be holding more events online – liturgies, Parish Hui, coffee catch-ups – we encourage you to bring your Smartphone (Android or Apple), Ipad or laptop to Mass on Sunday 13 February so that you can attend a brief session after Mass explaining how to use ZOOM.
It would be helpful if you asked a family member or friend to download ZOOM onto your device beforehand.
This will be a vaccine event – max 80 people
Ashes will be sprinkled on the head rather than placed on the forehead.
Fr Doug will also be doing an Ash Wednesday Mass at St Bernard’s school at 9am and Te Hopai rest Home at 3pm.
Ashes will be delivered to St Anne’s and St Francis de Sales
schools separately.
There will be no Ecumenical service this year.
In the Samoan language for anyone interested in participating, register with parish office.
Samoan Chaplaincy synodal Team will lead this workshop
