St. Anne's Feast

it's the feast again... and i'm trying my best to go for the novenas... i've missed last years feast, so i HAVE to go to this years... HERE is the time table for the Novena times

this time is a bit different, the church has built LIFE SIZE of the Way of the Cross.. that's like 13 (or issit 12) stations? it's being placed all around the compound... u got to go hunt for these statues according to which one comes first... no map though (which i think they should have) but it would be fun....

everytime when there's announcements to be made during mass, Father will always say that so many ppl has been impressed with the statues and that it was a good thing... unfortunately this beauty doesn't come free... donations are wanted to pay off these life size statues.... the statues will be blessed tomorrow at 3pm for those who's interested... i'm sure it's gonna be a grand event.. just like when the new church was officially opened by some big fella from the Vetican (YES!! i was there to witness it!)

the Old Church (known as the St Annes' Chapel) is nicely painted and the volunteers working in it is very systematic, just hope that it will last especially during the big days like tomorrow (the actual feast day) and the weekend.... i'm thinking of being there on sat for the procession and all but.. who wants to go with me??? i'm all open for company!

here are some pics i took of the life size statues.. i didn't take all (err.. cause i couldn't find some...) and also because there were so many ppl hogging these statues it was quite hard to get pics without having living ppl around it.. hahahha....

so if u want to really see it and admire it, go after the feast where all the hoo haa has ended.. then u can take your time to look, pray and experience St Annes' chi (aiseh man!! hahahah) ohh ooohh.. they also cleaned up and did some renovation on the hill at the back of the church.. like proper steps and stuffs... go check it out..
