The Montenegro Parish farewell.

Last night we were invited to attend the evening Mass for a farewell presentation and supper. You are never quite sure what to expect, however, it was a memorable evening for us both. Just another example of why it is going to be so difficult to leave these people. They are so appreciative and generous. It is quite humbling for us.
On arriving at the church we were confronted by the big screen and immediately knew we were in for some photographic memorabilia!

The A/V presentation began immediately after Mass and it was extremely well put together. Background music of ‘Waltzing Matilda’ and ‘I Am Australian’ made it all the more memorable, and enjoyable.

The presentation of gifts is always a special time for all present and they immediately chant ‘abra, abra’ – open, open! The flowers were easy to guess!

Our very special flag, what a great idea.

We were expected to make replies.

After all the speeches we were off to the hall for supper and a small skit presented by the jovens, or youth.
A very good night was had by all.
