An Inspiring Start to 2025: The Launch of the Annual Parish Planner

St. Ann’s Catholic Church, Kingston Hill, celebrated a significant milestone with the launch of its Annual Parish Planner for 2025. This comprehensive guide reflects our vibrant and united parish life and outlines the key activities, goals, and opportunities for spiritual growth in the year ahead. The event was graced by the presence of Canon Gerard Bradley, Episcopal Vicar for South West London, who unveiled the planner during a special Mass.

Highlights of the Annual Parish Planner

  1. Youth and Family Engagement: The planner showcases exciting initiatives such as Kids’ Gardening Days and quarterly Faith Family gatherings, aiming to strengthen family bonds and inspire the younger generation.
  2. Liturgical and Volunteers’ Diary for 2025: A detailed schedule of liturgical roles and volunteer activities to ensure the smooth functioning of our parish community.
  3. Pilgrimage Year Highlights: As a designated Pilgrim Church for the Jubilee Year 2025, St. Ann’s will host special Masses, Rosary walks, and other Jubilee-themed events to foster spiritual renewal.

Symbolic Presentation of the Planner

To reflect the diverse contributions of our parish community, the Annual Parish Planner was received by representatives from key groups:

  • A member of the Finance Committee, symbolising the stewardship of resources.
  • Sr Ursula, acknowledging her invaluable service to parish life.
  • A senior parishioner, representing the wisdom and guidance of our elders.
  • A family, embodying the unity and love that define our parish community.
  • A youth representative, highlighting the importance of empowering the next generation.
  • An Altar Server, representing the dedication of our liturgical ministry.

A Message from Canon Gerard Bradley

Canon Gerard Bradley, during the unveiling, expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the parish in fostering a dynamic and inclusive community. He encouraged everyone to embrace the opportunities outlined in the planner, using them as a means to grow in faith, fellowship, and service throughout the year.

A Collective Effort

The Annual Parish Planner is the fruit of collaboration and dedication from our parish teams, and it reflects our shared commitment to making St. Ann’s a welcoming and spiritually enriching home for all. It serves as a roadmap for the year, guiding us through liturgical celebrations, sacramental programmes, community events, and Jubilee Year pilgrimages.

Looking Ahead

As we journey through 2025, let us embrace the vision set forth in this planner, participating fully in the life of our parish and drawing closer to Christ. Together, let us make this Jubilee Year a time of grace, growth, and renewal.
