Christmas Celebration at St. Ann’s, Kingston Hill

The Christmas celebrations at St. Ann’s Catholic Church were a resounding success, with two well-attended Masses – one in the Night and one at Christmas Day. Parishioners and visitors from various places joined together for these joyous occasions.

Following the Masses, a vibrant celebration took place in the hall. During the Night Mass, the children delighted everyone with their Nativity play, after which they received gifts from the priest. Each child in the church was given a Christmas present.

The celebrations began with carols, followed by the Mass. The event was also live-streamed, and photographs were taken for everyone to cherish.

Additionally, we were pleased to bless and induct new altar servers, who proudly donned their new vestments. A crib competition saw eight children participating, with Almina and Eliana being awarded the rolling trophy and a gift. All other participants received a second prize.
