Before the festivities began we were able to take a walk around the site and visit some of the stalls that had been set up by many different groups attending the festival. The Venezuelan group were keen to share some of their culture with us and it's fair to say that the sweet milk they were giving away attracted more than a few visitors to their stall!
The festival itself was in two parts with many groups singing and dancing on a small stage nearby before the mass took place on the main stage celebrated by many Bishops from the area. After this there was even more opportunity for song and dance with Katy even managing to get Austin up to dance!
It's wonderful to see our faith being celebrated in such an enthusiastic way and a festival such as what we shared tonight truly shows what is so unique in the Catholic church.
