Canon Edward, our parish priest, agreed with The Archdiocese to transfer The Feast of St Stephen from December 26th to July 13th. His objective was to open up the Feast Day to a larger section of St. Stephen’s congregations. Mass on Sunday 13th was celebrated at 10:30 only. Over 200 members of the 9:30 and 11:30 congregations took the opportunity to praise God as a unified congregation.
After Mass, food, refreshments, music and children’s games were enjoyed by a very large number of members in the hall and gardens, on a beautiful, sunny day.
Grateful thanks is due to all those who planned, organised, decorated, cooked, gave and cleared up afterwards. A sterling team effort from many people across all the Mass congregations who gave their time, skills and effort.
