St Katharine’s, Belfast, gives thanks for harvest with a difference

Tuesday November 12th 2013

For the past four years at Harvest time St Katharine’s Parish Church, Belfast, has been decorated with non–perishable food items which have gone to others in greater need.

This year gifts of tinned and packet foods were donated to The North Belfast Food Bank (under the banner of Trussell Trust) which has been up and running for a several months and was opened officially on October 14.

The rector, the Rev Canon William Taggart, said: “We in St Katharine’s have been supporting the Food Bank from its conception with a ‘food box’ at the back of the church for parishioners to put items into weekly.”
