'Harry' Laurence Henry Bourke

Activites of St. Stephen's Catholic Sunday School Raywood were reported in the Advocate.

A treat for the children from the Sunday School was held in December 1947 at the home of Kitty and Harry Bourke at Raywood.

Lunch was served on the spacious verandah, with tables decorated with streamers and flowers. A sports programme followed in the afternoon.

Excitement was caused when Santa Claus cycled into the crowd and was immediately surrounded by the children, who followed him to the Christmas tree, where he was greeted by the Sunday school choir singing the "Adeste Fideles." Helene Rahl [Rabl?] accompanied the choir on the organ.
