Join us for a special fundraiser event to support the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and hear from guest speakers Sir Bill English and Lady Mary English. Following the 2018 earthquakes, the Cathedral has undergone extensive restoration and has recently reopened. The Cathedral’s historic Hobday organ also required restoration, and a committee is being established to restore it and raise funds. While there is no ticket cost, we kindly suggest a donation of $20 to help restore the organ. Malvina Major Village, 34 Burma Road, Khandallah, Sunday 25 August, 2.00pm.
