Church of St Mary of the Angels was busy with our celebrations for the annual Feast Day.

Today was the time of the year when many will gather at our basement carpark selling food. All the stall vendors did their best to outwit the other stalls and get patrons to buy their food. Though competition was really keen, but all in the name of good fun and fund-raising for the church.
