Welcome To Term 4!
Holiday Experience:
During the holidays, our Samoan Community took part in a mass at a Samoan Church we attend every first Sunday of the month. We were to do the offertory. Most of the young children took part.
As Samoans, when we do offertory at a huge mass like that, we serve the priesthood fine mat(s) and a beautifully cooked pig. There's also a performance performed by a young girl, supported by men that cheer for her, which is called: a Taupou and Aiuli's.
I had to take up the basket of money, with another bunch of people that went up to the altar to bless the items they'd carried.
We are to take up the Bread and Wine, flowers to decorate the altar, necklaces made of flowers to put on the priests, necklaces made of sweets to put on the elders, hamper baskets, cooked pig and a fine mat.
