About the event
From 8 am helpers arrived to set up for the day, meeting together for a short time of prayer before the attendees arrived. Refreshments were served by Sister Esther and her wonderful catering team as people gathered from 9 am, followed by a time of prayer and praise. There were a mixture of priests and parishioners from other parishes along with members and non-Cell members of Holy Innocents’ parish. Ian Insley acted as Master of Ceremonies (MC), linking all the proceedings together in his great humourist style. Father Victor was the first speaker, sharing his personal journey towards the setting up of the Parish Evangelisation Cell System (PECS) at Holy Innocents’.
