Heiderand, Mossel Bay, Sunday 14 May 2017: Saturday 13 May, saw the ladies of St. Blaize Catholic Church hosting the first Mother's Day dinner in honour of all mothers in the parish hall. Women old and young, Catholic and non-Catholic alike enthusiastically attended the dinner and thus lent a truly ecumenical face to the initiative. The local youth contributed by reciting poems and acting as ushers. The Parish Pastoral Council says thank you to all the ladies who worked hard to make the function a success and so doing, in humility and with love, build up their true  mother, the church.
