ethnic diversity event at my Church was a blast

We had an ethnic diversity Mass and event ( with ethnic food and dancing ) this month and I think it went great, a little crowded but that is the hazard of doing a great job in promotion :) I jokingly asked if there were going to be any European ethnicities represented and got it thrown into my face when I was asked to head up one of my European ethnicities ( I am English, German, Polish and Irish) and I wanted Irish but was already taken so I took Polish. It was nice digging into my polish heritage that I hadn't given much thought to in a long time. I found two other people of polish heritage and we presented some traditional polish foods like kielbasa, pierogis, and chrushiki. The Mass was nice with a lot of influence from the African cultures (we have a big population of Nigerians that go to our church). The event afterwards had a lot of food,
filipino, vietnamese, african, mexican and italian were big in the food category. The dances were nice also. We hope to make this an annual event, maybe I can rotate my heritage and work on each of my ethnicities.
