Congregation at Multicultural Mass in Mahon Parish

We remember those who passed on the faith.

Part of the offertory procession was a large cloth signed with the names of those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith - those who passed the faith on to us. The cloath was carried into the Church by members of the local community and by immigrants - it was then used as the Altar Cloth  during the Mass
