Anawim

Everyone is poor enough to receive and rich enough to give

Who We Are

ANAWIM (pronounced ann-a-weem) is a Hebrew word from the Old Testament meaning the "poor in spirit"—those who remained faithful to God through both trials and blessings. They are also known as the faithful remnant, with the Blessed Virgin Mary recognised as the first and perfect Anawim.

Formed in 2014 during the Year of the New Evangelisation, ANAWIM is a community of Catholics seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and discover the relevance of the Catholic faith in everyday life.


Our Mission

We seek to help one another:

  • Experience the Catholic faith, not merely understand it intellectually.
  • Appreciate the beauty of our baptismal calling and our share in the life of the Risen Lord.
  • Grow in communion with Christ and one another as a community of faith.
  • Discover how God's Word speaks to our lives today and inspires joyful Christian living.

What We Do

Through monthly gatherings, prayer, Scripture reflection, and faith sharing, we journey together to:

  • Deepen our relationship with God.
  • Explore the richness of Sacred Scripture.
  • Discover God's presence in everyday life.
  • Encourage one another in living out the Gospel with joy.
  • Grow as a supportive community of faith.

  • Desire a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God.
  • Want to better understand Sacred Scripture and its relevance to daily life.
  • Seek to encounter Christ with both mind and heart.
