It has been three years (November 28, 2019) since our SAGRA (Constantia Catholic community social). SAGRA is the Italian word for a open air festival with family fun, music, dancing and culinary delights. People still remember it with great fondness as it was a lovely and very special occasion in our parish. Little did we know then that in just four months a pandemic would envelop the entire world and that life would change so radically for all of us. It was unimaginable.
Here we are emerging from three long and turbulent years. We always carry in our hearts everyone who suffered loss during this time, and are we grateful that the darkest days of the storm are behind us.
And so, YES, it is time for another SAGRA - a bumper one to make up for the lost years! If you were at our last SAGRA, you will remember what a fabulous event it was, and if you are new in our parish - sit tight and be prepared to be delighted!
This year the theme for our SAGRA is MEXICAN FIESTA. Bring your whole family and invite your friends too! Come and unwind and enjoy some community spirit at its best! We will have a braai, lots of fun activities for the children (and adults), fab food, music and dancing, and more!
Please join in and help
The organising committee has been busy but they need lots help. So if you would like to help, get involved and meet other parishioners, this is a perfect occasion.
Below is a list of things where help is needed.
- Set up crew - Setting up on the day, we will transform our car park into a festive and colourful wonderland of lights and bunting and tables set for a fiesta! It is a lot of fun... and we need much help!
- People to make yummy desserts
- People to make salads
- People to bring salsa and chips for the tables - some Mexican flavour!
- We will have many raffles. Can you donate gifts to include in hampers (eg chocolates, Christmassy treats, gourmet delights, etc)?
- Lucky draw prizes and gifts - can you donate little gifts and surprises for children AND adults for lucky draw prizes?
- Clean up crew: We have to get all evidence cleared up before Mass on Saturday evening!
- Braai master chefs
- Bar tenders
- We are looking for some bales of hay too for seating... do you have horses or access to these and can donate/lend us some bales?
- YOU - and your good cheer! With your family and friends.

SAGRA, 30 NOVEMBER 2019
It was wonderful to see so many people together - a true ‘SAGRA’. We might have been in a little Italian town piazza – our magically transformed car park transported us to a happy joyful place! It was ours in every way … the beautiful starry sky was the canopy on which we hung a multitude of lights and festive bunting. Our magnificent trees provided the majesty of an open air theatre.
In the bustling piazza were the long tables with festive décor – including old fashioned bottles with dripping candlewax (did you know you need to go far to find a candle that drips the old fashioned way!).
