CALL TO BE AN EVANGELISER
Pope Francis' constant refrain :
"Go forth" evangelize,
help the poor.
The Holy Spirit is the protagonist of evangelization.
The missionary church is a praying church. The history of missions is a history of prayer.
Everything vital to the success of the world’s evangelization hinges on prayer.
Archbishop John Wilson is calling us to be an evangelising and missionary archdiocese. This will not be
possible without prayer.
As we pray for our Church, we also pray that we are renewed.
VOLUNTEERING AT THE PARISH
At St. Ann’s Parish we are always grateful to hear
from anyone who is willing to help us out, either remotely or in person with our Masses or who would be willing to volunteer in other ways such as a steward at the start of the
Mass or to oversee the church during other liturgies or carry out the Liturgy readings during Mass.

CATECHESIS - FAITH FORMATION
“Catechism of the Catholic Church” (CCC)
Easter/Resurrection in the Catechism of the Catholic Church
CCC 638 : "We bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers, this day he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus.
"489 The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning truth of our faith in Christ, a faith believed and lived as the central truth by the first Christian community; handed on as
fundamental by Tradition; established by the documents of the New Testament; and preached as an essential part of the Paschal mystery along with the cross :
Christ is risen from the dead!
Dying, he conquered death;
To the dead, he has given life.
CCC 639 : The mystery of Christ's resurrection is a real event, with manifestations that were historically verified, as the New Testament bears witness. In about A.D. 56 St. Paul could already write to the Corinthians: "I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. . ." CCC 491 : The Apostle speaks here of the living tradition of the Resurrection which he had learned after his conversion at the gates of Damascus.492
The empty tomb :
640 "Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen."493 The first element we encounter in the framework of the
Easter events is the empty tomb. In itself it is not a direct proof of Resurrection; the absence of Christ's body from the tomb could be explained otherwise.494 Nonetheless the
empty tomb was still an essential sign for all. Its discovery by the disciples was the first step toward recognizing the very fact of the Resurrection. This was the case, first
with the holy women, and then with Peter.495 The disciple "whom Jesus loved" affirmed that when he entered the empty tomb and discovered "the linen cloths lying there", "he saw
and believed".496 This suggests that he realized from the empty tomb's condition that the absence of Jesus' body could not have been of human doing and that Jesus had not simply
returned to earthly life as had been the case with Lazarus.497
