A parish gathering to celebrate and give thanks for the harvest will be held Sunday 16th February. In Jesus’ day, the Jewish people celebrated the “Feast of Ingathering” or the “Feast of Tabernacles”. Everyone shared from their harvest, and goods were collected for the poor. St Augustine’s Parish will again celebrate the harvest with the same sense of joy and sharing. We invite all farmers, crops growers, orchardists, winegrowers, home gardeners and cooks, to bring from their produce on that day – for the produce swapping table. Let us also share abundance with those in need; we encourage people to bring a non-perishable item in a can, jar or packet, of something produced in our area. On the day, donors can bring these items to the altar in the entry procession for the St Vincent DePaul Society baskets. We also ask people to bring a plate to share following Mass.
