Billy Hallet, you are right: “Our traditions are disappearing.”

present and future. Seemingly, these interesting folks have relocated to another site (making NEW memories, no doubt) but I’m so grateful to see their return journey to the Church, complete with specialized head gear, a king’s ransom of seafood, and bouquets of parsley.

The Harvest Festival of the Sea has become the Boundless Festival of Stories and Lore.
Hurrah!
