An estimated 4500-5000 people enjoyed the chance to gather for the annual Feast of St Hilarion at Mater Christi Church, Seaton, on October 24. Festivities returned to normal after a restricted celebration last year due to COVID. Vicar General Fr Philip Marshall gave a moving homily about service and sacrifice at the Mass held in a marquee on the church grounds. The procession through the surrounding streets was followed by a food fair and entertainment by local performers and school bands. Pictures: Nat Rogers.
