Photos and Report from James Glass

For the past few years, St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church have been celebrating Harvest Festival and Mothering Sunday on the same Sunday the same as the Anglican Church. However, given how important both events are this year, the Catholics decided to celebrated Harvest Festival on Sunday 8th March and Mothering Sunday the following week on Sunday 15th March. All harvest goods received were combined with those from the Anglican Church and distributed as one collection.
