About this Event
A joint event between the Parish of "Christ the King" and the Holy Family Guild, continuing the annual tradition of the latter, plus some new elements.
Attendees are invited to research a saint of thier choosing and to come dressed as that saint. Due to the incresing popularity of this event and the high number of people expected in costume, there unfortunately will not be time for everyone to have a slot at the microphone to tell others about their saint, but everyone should come prepared to talk about their saint to others, if prompted!
Attendees are also invited to bring a home-made Christian lantern if they wish, e.g. a pumpkin with an image of Our Lady carved into it, or a marrow with a cross carved into it. See here for further ideas: https://www.etsy.com/market/catholic_pumpkin_carving_stencil
