Fete for faith

HALLAM residents braved the rain on the weekend to enjoy good food, rides and activities at the St Mina and St Marina Coptic Orthodox Church.
The event raised money towards a new building for a growing church community.
Pastor Abanoub Attalla said about 75 families have joined the Hallam church’s parish in the past year and a new building was needed to support the increased demand. The fete featured a range of Lebanese foods, sweets, rides for children, face painting and an animal farm.
