For each one of us the Fete has something special to offer and Sunday’s event had plenty to keep our crowds entertained, and fed, with a wide range of goods to buy, books to read, and gifts to bid for at the Auction. We give thanks to God our loving Creator for good weather and the blessings of a great community day.
Today is the Feast of All Saints. It is not hard to see the qualities of selflessness which are the hallmark of these heavenly holy ones in the many parents, staff and students of our school who have contributed their time and financial support for the good of all. Our holy one Sr. M. Anne Holland was very much missed from the Fete.
