Report and photos from Randal Repetto and Rachel Green
On Sunday 14th March 2021, Mothers' Day and Harvest Festivals were held in both St Mary's and St Joseph's Churches. The church services began with the children giving their mothers, grandmothers and aunts bunches of flowers and cards. The rest of the day was spent visiting loved ones with gifts, having braais or having lunch with the family.
