<\/b>This year\u2019s popular Autumn Lunch happened to fall on the first World Day of the Poor, whose main theme is “Let us love, not with words but with deeds<\/span><\/em>\u201d which ties in with VOTO\u2019s mission to help the less fortunate.<\/p>\n

The lunch was a complete sell out with a record 220 guests plus 45 children attending. \u00a0 The afternoon began with holy mass celebrated by Fr. Brendan Gatt, after which our guests where hosted to a lavish lunch consisting of appetisers, an\u00a0 <\/span>entr\u00e9e<\/a> of pasta, a delicious spit-roast pork, a selection of roast vegetables and homemade desserts. \u00a0This event was organised by an extremely hard working sub-committee and the bulk of the food was prepared and served by our volunteers, without who\u2019s help we wouldn’t be able to fund-raise for our much loved special friends.\u00a0 The afternoon wrapped up with a raffle, which was another huge success and largely contributed to the funds generated by this event.<\/p>\n\n
