The celebration opened with a special St Andrew’s Day grace led by Fr Andrew Eburne, who offered words of welcome and reflection. He invited parishioners to pray intentionally for anyone they knew who shared the name of the beloved apostle, encouraging a spirit of gratitude and intercession.
The event provided not only a chance to honour St Andrew, but also an opportunity for fellowship, warmth, and shared tradition within the parish community — an uplifting start to Advent and a reminder of the strength found in gathering together in faith.
