  1. The people of this parish wear different coloured clothes on different occasions.
    Black after a funeral because they are lonely and black is a lonely or dead looking colour.
    White is sometimes worn at weddings or blue brown and different colours.
    White is also worn at Baptism Confirmation and at First Communion. If you did not wear these colours you would look very queer in this parish.
    Green is said to be an unlucky colour.
