Palm Sunday & Holy Week 2025

Walking with Jesus – A Journey of Humility and Love

As we begin Holy Week with Palm Sunday, we remember the humble entry of Jesus into Jerusalem — not in power or splendour, but in simplicity and peace.

Let this Holy Week be a sacred time for all of us — to slow down, reflect, and walk with Jesus in humility, love, and trust.

A Word of Condolence – In Loving Memory of Tom Fercombe

As a parish family, we pause with deep gratitude and prayerful remembrance for Tom Fercombe, who passed away recently.

Tom was a very dear and committed member of our St. Ann’s Parish community. He quietly supported the life of our parish in many ways, especially through his generosity and help with the tarmac works around our church grounds — a lasting gift that continues to serve us all.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Tom’s family at this time. May the peace of Christ fill their hearts and may the Lord reward Tom for his goodness, faith, and service.

“Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Master.” (Matthew 25:23)

May his soul rest in the peace of Christ.
