We had decided to attend the Anglican Cathedral in Perth - St. George - for Palm Sunday services. We had a little difficulty getting there. We are great fans of the maps.me app which does GPS without wi-fi. But... if you don’t get the right satellites with the right order, there can be problems! On this day the instructions came just past the turn we were supposed to take. So we arrive about 15 minutes late for church - just missed the Palm Sunday procession! We got there in time for Confessions and Forgiveness, which was much needed for the navigator.
The service was lovely and the music splendid. I had noted that on their website and was not disappointed. The Passion according to Luke was sung to a setting by Orlando de Lassus, and the very fine choir also sang one of Williams Byrd’s Mass for Four Voices and a Hosanna by Thomas Weelkes. The church was decorated with huge palm fronds - very beautiful.
After church we were warmly welcomed by one member who took us around and introduced to lots of people. Very friendly indeed! We headed back to 11 King Street to pack up for leaving the next day and to enjoy that lovely space.
Dinner was a farewell meal with Wally and Eileen, Claire, Jared, and Georgia, Jean, and Jean’s son and daughter-in-law Aaron and Nikki. We ate at Joy Kitchen, a Chinese restaurant by the Fremantle harbor. It was really great food. It was sad for these family members to be saying farewell and sad for us as we concluded our great time in Fremantle.
