As part of the celebration of the Diocesan Centenary in 2026, Bishop Philip has called for a Diocesan-wide weekend of parish mission and outreach, between 11 and 13 September 2026. The invitation is for every parish across the Diocese to put on a weekend in which simple, often fun events are held, to which both Christians and non-Christians can be invited, to enjoy themselves and to engage together – and at which there will be an accessible presentation of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
At St Annes Parish Church a number of events are planned.
On Friday 11th September at 6.30 pm Chocolate Bingo will be held in Heyhouses School.
On Saturday 12th September at 2.30 pm a Three Choirs Concert will take place in church.
On Sunday 13th September at 10.30 pm there is the usual Sunday Mass with something special from the Sunday School.
More details will be available nearer the weekend.
Update: An invitation to the events can be found on the Welcome page. There is no charge for the events. If anyone one needs an invitation these will be handed out after the services on Tuesday 18th, Sunday 23rd and Sunday 31st August.
