Preparing the Food for the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul

The feast of Sts. Peter and Paul was today, June 29. The cathedral at Phat Diem is dedicated to them as is the diocese, so it is a time for a solemn mass and for lots of food. Preparation begins before mass with everyone chipping in, many helping with the food. The girls and young women wash the vegetables.
There is a huge outside washing area that is always lots of fun to visit.

Here are the guys cutting meat.
The sisters make sure that all the plasticware and plates are ready to do for the buffet after mass.


Here is a video in the kitchen getting the meat tray ready.
