One Heart Many Faces
Emerald celebrated its rich cultural and ethnic diversity at their Multicultural Mass held in October. The theme was One Heart, Many Faces where Emerald celebrated the many faces (coming from different backgrounds), but have one heart, energised by the love of Christ. Fr Yon spoke in part, “Living in a multicultural community is a Flower Garden. The diversity of many types and various colours of flowers makes the garden look very beautiful.” The community celebrated in prayer, singing, dancing and sharing in many different cultural foods.
