Trove Tuesday - All Saints in Lake Macquarie

 In our post last week we looked at some Halloween events in our area, these events were mostly social in nature. 

As yesterday, November 1st, was All Saints Day today we look at how it was celebrated in times past.

While there are many advertisements for All Saints' services at the Anglican Cathedral in Newcastle there are few articles mentioning the celebration of that day in the Lake Macquarie area.
