St Patrick's Parish wishes Rev. Father Gaone Ngwenya and all fathers HAPPY FATHERS DAY,may God bless you ALL!!!!

Today, St Patrick's Parish celebrated Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

SOLEMNITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI

We celebrated the solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ beginning with the Corpus Christi Procession at one of the elders in the vicinity of the church.

The procession proceeded to the church grounds where we continued with adoration and ultimately the celebration of the Eucharist.

For this year, we had the first holy communion for several children who have been undergoing catechism classes.
