The Passionist Family Group (PFG) Movement is about living out Christian faith by showing love for one another as Jesus did, supporting one another’s joys and sorrows, and enjoying ordinary times together on life’s journey. Recently, some 40 women of all ages, from PG groups across three Palmerston North parishes came together over high tea. Set up in Our Lady of Lourdes Church foyer, tables were decorated with lace and embroidered tablecloths, tiered plates with cakes made from favourite family recipes, and tea served from polished silver teapots, with matching sugar bowls and milk jugs. Many brought their own inherited or gifted bone-china cups and saucers, prompting conversations about their origins and fond memories. The gathering connected groups of family and friends including long-standing and recently joined PFG members as well as those keen to join, all who shared much in common through the PGF movement.
