World Day of Prayer at St Anne’s Woolston

World day of prayer Cultural St Annes Woolston

On 7 March 2025, we celebrated the World Day of Prayer service at St Anne’s. This is a service celebrated in many churches throughout the world. Written by women of the Cook Islands, it involved prayers, reflections, and beautiful songs.

Our service was attended by 151 students, 15 teachers, and around 30 adults. There were wonderful colourful costumes, musical items provided by St Anne’s school, and Pasifika cultural artifacts on display. Our thanks to the students for learning the Cook Islands’ Īmene, for the donations of over $332, and to our school principal Dallas Wichman, for helping to organise such a vibrant and engaging World Day of Prayer service for our parish.
