Pentecost Sunday's congregation is flecked with red as dozens of parishioners, in common with many Christians from other denominations in the town, don red vestments in honour of the feast. The liturgy of the Mass is accompanied with balloons, and concludes with a solemnly recessed cake to the strains of Happy Birthday dear Chu-urch, to celebrate that first great Whitsun when the Holy Spirit came down on the Apostles to give birth to Our Faith. Even the sun is shining more enthusiastically than it has for months, yet Paschal, Edward, Caroline, Kyle, Margaret, Joan and Catherine bravely withstand its glare for a few minutes so we can take this photo.
Meanwhile, in a slightly shadier spot, Freda chooses one of the rosary bracelets which Frances and Pat are selling for a charity which helps to support the welfare of young women in the Philippines. Just think, girls, now you can have a rosary bracelet to match each of your outfits!
