Thanking our Wonderful Volunteers21st May 2013

Sunday 19 May was a very special day of celebration in the Saint Hilarion community. We started the day with a Mass to recognise the May Feast which reflects on the miracle of rain performed by Saint Hilarion in 1855 when he saved the town of Caulonia, in southern Italy, from drought.

Following the Mass, a special lunch was held to coincode with National Volunteers' Week, to thank our volunteers who do such a wonderful job in assisting our community in so many dioffrent ways. Over 100 people came together to share a delicious meal of pasta, calamari, veal scallopine, pollo and much more and believe it or not, there was even some food food left over which is a rare thing!

The luch was our small way of thanking our volunteers who assist our staff with our resident activity programs, volunteering in our cafe and helping our with our many fundraising activities throughout the year. Perhaps our volunteers are best known for the delicious zeppole (Italian doughnuts) which they cook by the thousands every year at the Italian Carnevale and our October Feast,

We salute all our volunteers, many of whom who have been serving us tirelessly for decades and acknowledge their vital role in helping to serve our community while also preserving our proud heritage.
