The fisher-folk cooperative of the communities of Dublanc and environs will celebrate the Feast of St. Peter this coming weekend, from 14-17 July.
PRO of the cooperative, Thora Betrand said that the aim of this year’s effort is a community-based, fund raising initiative to furnish the communities with a hurricane shelter now that the Dublanc Catholic Church is in disrepair.
In an interview Bertrand said, “Usually, we use the church as a hurricane shelter and now it’s in such a state that we can’t, so Dublanc is basically without a hurricane shelter right now. So after Thursday’s games night, the Friday night’s activities featuring the Midnight Groovers will be used to raise funds for repairing the church and giving Dublanc a hurricane shelter.”
The feast also features an event dubbed ‘Fish, Fish, Fish!’, where patrons can enjoy a variety of fish prepared in numerous ways, all-day Saturday and a kids fun day, with a bouncing castle, hula hoops display and kids race events. Saturday’s events culminate in a ‘jam’ with WCK before the community heads to church on Sunday morning.
“On Sunday we have a big mass at 10 am, where we invited the PM and the cabinet. We’ll have jing-ping, we’ll have steel-pan, we’ll have blessing of the boats and boat race, followed by another fun day for the kids and a jam from 3 pm with DJ Flip and DJ Mixx and climaxing with a jam by Swinging Stars,” Betrand stated excitedly.
She urged the public to support the feast in its entirety, simply because Dublanc is just a place to have fun and that patrons are guaranteed a great time.
why is bioche left out of all the activities? isn’t it a dublanc/bioche thing? for the past years i have noticed that BIOCHE is always left out? it should be a DUBLANC/BIOCHE thing….
lack of cooperation obviously. Now each village wants to to their own thing so better one will prevail.
I agree to building a hurricane shelter but why i have to pay to repair the vatican church. The vatican has its own bank and it cannot repair its church.
Shouldn’t this the DuBlanc Bioche activities? Anyways nice smile Thora is now you looking like Tazie. Lat me see all you go to church after WCK jam. Enjoy and have clean fun.
HOPING THAT ALL GOES WELL AND ENDS WELL ESPECIALLY FOR THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, I WII BE THERE JAM CYAN DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!KEEP IT UP MY SISTER
