ST ANNE'S FEAST CONCERT - FRIDAY 27 July


REPORTED BY TATIANA

St Anne was the mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus .St Anne had always wanted a child before she had Mary.

She prayed to God in the temple every day. She loved God; St Anne always wanted to do good things. She is a great role model. Before she had Mary, people were saying bad things about her and her husband,Joachim, because they had no children. This made her husband depressed.

One day Joachim went into the desert to pray for a child. An angel appeared to him. The angel said, “You will have a daughter and you will call her Mary and give her to me!” 

At that time Anne was in the garden watching the baby birds. She shouted, “Why can’t I have a child?”

 An angel appeared to her and told her that she would have a child and she was to call her Mary and give her back to God. Anne and her husband were very happy.


St Anne loved Mary and made her work in the church every day at an early age. Mary decided to follow in the footsteps of her mother and together they worshiped the Lord.
I think St Anne was a great person and a great grandmother mother. St Anne is a saint all parents can look up to.

Great to have so many parents and friends at our feast day concert.
Great to take part in our feast day Mass after play.
Best of all it was a real pleasure to have Bishop Barry visit our class.We were amazed when he told us about the number of languages he speaks.

HAPPY FEAST DAY!
