On Sunday 3 November St Martin de Porres parish Avalon celebrated the feast day of St Martin de Porres with a scrumptious shared lunch.
The sun shone, the BBQ sizzled and the tables were laden with food from the parish’s different cultural groups which each family had prepared.

We had a great time and are looking forward to celebrating the feast again next year!
