HALLOWEEN, EVE OF ALL HALLOWS OCT 31ST AND NOV 1ST ALL SAINTS DAY:
During this week I reminded Primary and Secondary School Students that our Mid-Term Holidays have a special Holy Day. While it’s good fun to have a celebration of Halloween with dressing up and “Trick or Treating” etc. Let’s not forget all the Saints that we celebrate too. The famous ones and the not so famous ones that we have known ourselves. Family relations, friends and neighbours, may they rest in Peace Amen.
