Celebration, flags, colour, music and mingling at St Canice’s on the Feast Day of St Ignatius inspires a sense of ‘Festa’. Freshly cut banana trees on the columns and at the doorways of the church bring a sense of Railaco to our doorstep here in Elizabeth Bay.
Inside, the church is decorated with flowers; with shiny leaves of the banana tree, huge bunches of bright yellow sunflowers and the red of the Leucadendron remind us of the Timor-Leste flag, and of our sister parish of the Railaco Jesuit Mission.
