The Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori is August 1st, and members of the St. Alphonsa Syro-Malabar Catholic Forane Church in the west Edmonton Parkview neighbourhood celebrated on July 30th. The celebrations included a walk around the Parkview school and playground. The drumming could be heard for blocks and there were at least 1,000 participants.

Sometimes I film protests, and sometimes I film cool, hyperlocal community events: the grand opening of the beach volleyball "sandbox" and ice hockey rink today in Parkview.
Another place where you can find my CDs is ch. cafeteria (14802 Stony Plain Road). I just dropped off some copies of "Corners" earlier this week, and there are still a few copies of "The Crow" on their shelves, which feature lots of cool things from local makers.
